七、阅读回答问题
Hi, David,
Nice to meet you! My name is Ben and I'm twelve. I live in Sydney with my parents, my sister Emma and my cat Mimi. We live in a house in Greenwich. There are two bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom in the house.
I enjoy playing basketball and I'm in the school basketball team. I like playing sports with my friends after school.
My best friends are Tom and Jack and we're all in Class 2. Our teacher Mr Smith is kind, but sometimes he is very strict (严厉的) with us. When school finishes, I go to the school library with my friends first. We read books together. After that, we go home and do our homework.
In my free time, I sometimes play in basketball matches(比赛) and I often go shopping with my sister. I may have a lot of things to do every day, but I enjoy my life very much.
I really want to be your friend. Please write to me soon and introduce yourself to me.
Best wishes,
Ben
