Todd: OK, Aaron can you talk a little about sports in Australia?

Aaron: No worries. In Australia, when I was a child, I used to play cricket and Australian football every weekend. In the winter, I played Australian football, and in the summer it was cricket. Now that I'm older, I play golf. I play golf every weekend, and in summer sometimes during the week. In Australia it is really cheap to play golf. So, it's about ten Australian dollars, so it's very popular. A lot of people play golf, cricket and football. I used to play tennis, but I don't anymore. I once took tennis lessons, but as I said I don't play tennis anymore.
