五、根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
Dear Linda,
How is it going? I want to tell you something about my new friends at school.
Max is thirteen years old. He can play the violin. He also likes sports very much. He can't play basketball, but he can play soccer. He plays soccer every Friday.
Tina is fourteen. She is as old as me. She can play the erhu. She has a new erhu. It's from her aunt. She can swim, but she can't play ball games well. She thinks ball games are boring.
Anna is Max's sister. She is fifteen years old. She can play basketball well. I often play basketball with her on Saturdays. She can play the piano, and she can also sing Chinese songs well.
They are all my good friends. You can find that they have something in common (相同之处): they all like music. You know I can play the drums well. So we want to start a band in our school. We like musical instruments, so we want to play these instruments in our free time.
What do you think of my friends? Can you tell me something about your friends? Please write to me soon.
Yours,
Steve
