Dear Darren,
As you know, the All England Open finals took place yesterday. Fortunately,
I managed to catch the live broadcast on TV. It was such an exciting match! As
an avid badminton player yourself, what do you think about the two finalists: our
national representative, Lee Zii Jia and the famous player from Denmark, Viktor
Axelsen?

Dear Justin,
Yes, I agree that it was indeed an exciting match especially during the final set!
Although they are both very talented players, my personal favourite is definitely
our very own, Lee Zii Jia!
His badminton skills are very good and he is only 23 years old. His young
age makes his achievements even more impressive. Did you know that he is from
Kedah? As a fellow Kedahan, I feel very proud that we have an international athlete
from our state. I look forward to his performance in the badminton world after this.

From,
Darren
