‘One game  I  am  loving  is  backgammon. You  are  throwing the  dice  and  then  you  move your  pieces  around  the  board. It  is  seeming  quite  easy, but  in  fact you  are  needing to  be quite  careful.  When  your  piece  lands  on  one  of the  other  person’s  pieces, you  are taking it off the  board  and  you  send  it  back to  the  beginning. You  are  winning  by getting all  your pieces to  the  end  and  off the  board. Some  people  are  preferring  chess, but  I  am  not understanding  that game. Right now, I  wait to  have  a game  with  my  brother. He  does  his homework. I  usually win, so  I  think  he  doesn’t want  to  play  a game with  me!’
