Dear Carol,

I’m pleased to receive your letter. I think the topic of the presentation is exciting/
interesting. I’ll give you some information/tips about what you asked/what you want
to know.

In my opinion, the most common sport that youngsters in my country often watch and
play is football/volleyball. You know this team-sport is famous worldwide, and in my
country, it is also preferable/ more suitable. Almost every school has a football/
volleyball playground, and students often play it after the lesson/class.

Besides, we are also attracted by many football/volleyball championships on TV like

World Cup or Europe Championship/ Volleyball Nations League. So we can enjoy the
professional skills of many famous footballers/ volleyballers around the world.

About the posters of sports celebrities, I believe that most teenagers in my country
also have some pictures of their sports idols in their bedroom/study zone.
Traditionally/ Usually, we often cut them out from sports magazines and stick/hang
them on the wall to show our admiration.

That’s all I think you need to know about the popular sports in my country. If you
need any further assistance/help, do not hesitate/ delay to write.

I look forward to seeing you soon, and thanks again!/ I am looking forward to your
reply soon.

Best regards,/ Best wishes,/ Your regards,
