I like______________very much. My friends and I practise at a special park twice a week. My skateboard is really cool, and so are theirs. We encourage one another to do tricks. Some tricks are difficult, but once you succeed, you feel great! I like skateboarding because it keeps me fit.

I'm in my school's baseball club, so I ______________quite often. It's my favourite sport. We play many matches. The other teams are great, but I think ours is the best! We usually practise three times a week after school. We also exercise a lot because it keeps us fit and helps us play better. Baseball also builds team spirit. All of us are good friends, both on and off the field. We work as a team, and we win or lose as a team.
