    Christmas comes in winter. It is always on the same day each year. It's on December 25. We always get up early on Christmas. When we get up, we find gifts at the end of our beds. We open our gifts in the morning. We have a big lunch at home. In the afternoon, we play games and have a good time. In the evening, I'm usually very tired, so I go to bed at about 10 o'clock.

    My name is Jack. I am from the USA. I am nine years old. I like basketball, and I am good at it. I often play basketball with my friends on the weekend. It is fun. I also like ping-pang. But I can't play it well.

    I am going to China with my parents by plane next month. I am happy and excited. I want to make new friends there. I also want to learn to play ping-pang.

    Can you play ping-pang? Are you good at it?

Yours

Jack
