Hello, my name is Akanesi.I would like to tell you why I think playing rugby is  great after-school activity.

First, playing netball is good because you meet other people and friends  and also you can get lots of exercise.

Second, playing softball after school means you get more practice with your friends.


Last of all, I enjoy playing softball because it is my favourite thing to do after school.
