Question
I play rugby once a week and I love it because it is exciting. Last weekend, I went swimming in the sea with my friend, but it was too cold! I usually swim in a swimming pool and it is warmer. My sister sometimes does winter sports, but I have never been skiing.
Je joue au rugby une fois par semaine et j’adore ça car c’est passionnant. Le weekend dernier, je me suis baigné à la mer avec mon copain, mais il faisait trop froid ! D’habitude, je nage dans une piscine et il fait plus chaud. Ma sœur va parfois aux sports d’hiver, mais moi, je n’ai jamais fait de ski.
