John: Yes, it’s super! I really like it because it’s big and there are a lot of students. I’ve got
lots of good friends and we all love sports, especially basketball, tennis and baseball.
Aunty: Where do you play basketball?
line 5 John: In the gym, of course. It’s my favourite place. We play basketball and indoor football
there. There are two basketball courts in the gym. They’re both pretty large so there’s
lots of room.
Aunty: Oh, I see … Is there a tennis court in your school, too?
John: No, there isn’t. We only have the basketball courts and a volleyball court outside, but I
line 10 play tennis at the tennis club near my house.

extra study sessions after school, too.
