PracticePart A:

Nov.1, 2005, Tuesday SunnyTomorrow is the open day for the sports clubs at school. There are many new clubs. Now that I’m in Senior High, I can join clubs like the archery club or the gymnastics club. I was never very good at these two sports so maybe I will choose the martial arts club. Hmm, maybe I don’t want to get hurt. I think I would like to join the folk dancing club as I quite like dancing. There is also the skating club. What about baseball or softball? Everyone is playing these new sports now. it may be fun. Oh! I really don’t know which sport to choose. I will decide tomorrow.
