One possible version:

Dear Elio,

I’m glad to hear from you. I know that you don’t like doing sports and you often feel tired in class. Now I would like to share something about my favourite sport with you. I like sports very much. Of all the sports. I like basketball the best. Because I think nothing is more interesting and relaxing than playing basketball. I usually play basketball on Sundays with my friends. When I feel tired, playing basketball can make me relaxed and it can help me keep fit and healthy. That’s why I like playing basketball.

It’s important for everyone to do sports. They are not only good for our health but also our study. So let’s do sports together and we will be stronger and stronger.

Yours

Hardy
