Sandy wrote an article to introduce her e-friend in the USA to her classmates. Here is her article.

　　Sophie is my e-friend in the USA. We often chat on the Internet. We also write to each other sometimes. Her handwriting is great. She is learning Chinese now and she can even write Chinese very well. What a wonderful girl!

　　I have got a picture of her, and she looks so pretty and slim. I know she is clever at art and languages, but she hates PE. Ever she sent me an e-mail to describe her feeling in a PE class. Of all the classes she had that day, the PE class was the worst. It was even worse than the Maths class. They had to go running at the beginning, although the playground was covered with mud. Then they had to play soccer. The worst part during that PE class was when the students chose whom they wanted on their teams, she was the last person selected(挑選). How embarrassing(令人難堪的)it was!

　　I think maybe that was the most unlucky day for her, because the end of the PE class was not the end of her bad luck. She had to clean all the mud on the sports clothes herself.
