Hi Mark,
What have you been up to? Remember I told
you that my team made it to the water polo

final? Well, here’s the latest.
3. 4. The whole school was around the pool
watching the game. It was a tough game and
the score was 2-1 to the other team, the
Dartford Dolphins, with one minute till the

end. My friend passed me the ball, I swam
to the goal and scored. Everyone was really
happy because they thought the game was
going into extra time. But I had other plans.

The game started again with just a few

5. 6. seconds left, I got the ball, threw it towards
the goal and guess what? It went in! We
won the game and I was the hero. Can you
believe it? I started playing water polo for the
Oakland Otters four years ago, but I’ve never

done anything like that before. I’m so happy!
Well, that’s all for now. Write back soon.
Take care,
7. 8. Bill
