You play a team sport with some friends. Last week, a member of the team had an accident and wasn’t able to play with you at the weekend. You decide to write to him in the hospital, telling him about the match. Write a letter to your friend. In your letter tell him which team won describe the conditions of the day say how you felt about the match

Dear Zaki I hope you are doing better and I hope you'll fully recover soon. As you know,
last
Thursday we were going to play against Mohamed’s team who beat us
last
week, so we were really excited about
this
match, and guess what,
this
time we actually won and got our revenge. I don't know if you've seen the weather forecast, but it was so cold that day, so after we finished work and on our way to the field, it was actually snowing, so we were a bit afraid of
this
weather and whether the other team will show up or not and eventually, they did. It was weird playing without you, on the first minutes I felt lost in the field because of the fact that you weren't there with me on that day,
also
, the player who replaced you was not as good as you, and in many times during the match, I had to cover for his faults, so it was really stressful not playing with you. I can't wait to hear from you All the best Youcef
