Curling is a strange, but exciting sport

played on ice. Many people say it comes from
Scotland. Today, it’s popular around the world
and it’s also an Olympic sport.
In a curling match there are always two teams and
usually four players in each team, but sometimes
there are only two. A player in each team throws
a stone on the ice. The stone is called the ‘rock’
and it’s heavy. The other players try to send the
‘rock’ on the ‘house’, the circle on the ice. They
win many points when it stops on the small circle.
The players use sticks on the ice called ‘brooms’
to move the ‘rock’. They wear special shoes,
not skates. It isn’t an easy sport. Both men and
women play it. Canada, Sweden and China have
got very good curling teams.

Hello, Granny!
How are you? I’m in Mallorca and it’s amazing! It’s sunny and hot
and I go to the beach every day. The water is warm and Dad goes
scuba diving every morning. Mum and I sometimes go sailing in
the morning. I like cycling in the village and playing badminton
at the hotel. I don’t surf here because the waves are too small.
Love, Peter
