Dear Andrew,

I hope this letter finds you well. It's great to hear that you've decided to take up a sport to improve your health and well-being. Both basketball and tennis are fantastic choices, so I can understand why you're finding it difficult to decide. If you're looking to build endurance and team skills, basketball might be a good option. On the other hand, if you prefer a sport that requires agility and precision, tennis could be the way to go. Ultimately, I would say go with the sport that you enjoy the most, as that will keep you motivated in the long run.

As for popular sports among teenagers in Russia, football (or soccer) is definitely a big favorite. Many teenagers also enjoy ice hockey, figure skating, and gymnastics. In terms of sports facilities in our school, we have a basketball court, a football field, a running track, and a gymnastics hall. We also have a sports club where students can participate in various sports activities after school.

In terms of sports competitions at school, we have inter-class tournaments for basketball, football, and volleyball. We also participate in regional and national competitions for various sports. It's a great way for students to showcase their skills and compete against other schools.

I hope this gives you some insight into sports in Russia. Let me know if you have any more questions or need further information. Good luck with your decision, and I'm sure you'll excel in whichever sport you choose.

Best wishes,

[Your Name]
