Hi Judy,
Are you free this Saturday afternoon? My aunt gave me two new badminton rackets, and I really want to try them.
We can play in the park near the mall. There is a free court there. If it rains, we can go bowling instead.
Please bring a bottle of water. I will bring some rice balls for us. Call me before Friday night.

茱蒂你好：
你這個星期六下午有空嗎？我阿姨給了我兩支新的羽球拍，我很想試試看。
我們可以在購物中心附近的公園打球。那裡有免費的球場。如果下雨，我們就改去打保齡球。
請帶一瓶水。我會帶一些飯糰給我們吃。星期五晚上前打電話給我。
肯
Baseball is the most popular sport in Taiwan. Many people call it the national game. In summer, thousands of fans sit under the hot sun and cheer for their team.
Long ago, a team of boys from Taitung won a world game in America. The news was on the front page of every newspaper in Taiwan, and the whole country was happy.
Around the Dragon Boat Festival, a big student game starts every year. Baseball is also good exercise, and it teaches us to believe in ourselves. Young players still dream of playing for Taiwan one day.
棒球是台灣最受歡迎的運動。許多人稱它為國球。夏天時，成千上萬的球迷坐在大太陽底下為自己的球隊加油。
很久以前，一支來自台東的少棒隊在美國贏得世界大賽。這則新聞登上了台灣每一份報紙的頭版，全國上下都很開心。
每年端午節前後，一項大型的學生賽事就會開打。棒球也是很好的運動，它教我們相信自己。年輕球員仍然夢想著有一天能為台灣出賽。
