I am really fond of sport. I especially like tennis, swimming, skiing, basketball, and figure-skating. However, my favourite type of sport is football. I like both playing and watching it. Football is played in many countries, so I support foreign teams as well as the domestic ones. I know many great players of football. Among them, Maradona, Zidan, Arshavin, Totti, Maldini, Beckham, Cantona, Messi, Vieri, but most of all I like Ronaldo. I like the way he plays and behaves. He seems to be not only talented but also a strong-willed guy. His full name is Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro. I know people who don’t like this Portuguese-born footballer but I adore him. He is considered to be the most expensive footballer of all times. To transfer from “Manchester United” team to Spanish “Real” he was paid more than 83 million pounds. Ronaldo was born on February the 5th, 1985 in Madeira neighborhood. He was the youngest child in a family and his father named him after the American President Ronald Reagan. His career in football started rather early. At the age of eight he already played for the amateur team “Andorinha”. When he turned ten, he signed his first contract with the local club “Nacional”. Today, Ronaldo is one of the best players in the world and he plays as a forward for the Spanish club “Real Madrid”. He is known to be mentally sharp, predicting certain plays, and having very good reactions. He was also the first player to win all main football awards. Apart from being a great player, Ronaldo often donates money and personal possessions to charity funds and people who are in need. 

ПЕРЕКЛАД
Я дуже люблю спорт. Мені особливо подобаються теніс, плавання, лижі, баскетбол, і фігурне катання. Однак, мій найулюбленіший вид спорту - футбол. Мені подобається, і дивитися гру, і грати в неї. У футбол грають у багатьох країнах, так що я вболіваю за іноземні команди, поряд з вітчизняними. Я знаю багато великих гравців футболу. Серед них, Марадона, Зідан, Аршавін, Тотті, Мальдіні, Бекхем, Кантона, Мессі, Вієрі, але найбільше мені подобається Роналду. Мені подобається, як він грає і веде себе. Він, здається, не тільки талановитим, але і вольовим хлопцем. Його повне ім'я Кріштіану Роналду душ Сантуш Авейру. Я знаю людей, яким не подобається цей футболіст португальського походження, але я його обожнюю. Він вважається найдорожчим футболістом усіх часів. За перехід з команди "Манчестер Юнайтед" в іспанський "Реал" він отримав більше 83 мільйонів фунтів. Роналдо народився в 5-го лютого 1985 року, поблизу Мадейри. Він був наймолодшою ​​дитиною в сім'ї, і батько назвав його на честь американського президента Рональда Рейгана. Його кар'єра в футболі почалася досить рано. Вже у віці восьми років він грав в аматорській команді "Андорінья". Коли йому виповнилося десять, він підписав свій перший контракт з місцевим клубом "Насьональ". Сьогодні Роналдо є одним з кращих гравців в світі і виступає форвардом в іспанському клубі "Реал Мадрид". Він славиться гострим розумом, умінням передбачити хід певних ігор і наявністю дуже хорошої реакції. Він був також першим гравцем, який виграв всі основні футбольні нагороди. Крім того, що Роналдо відмінний гравець, він часто жертвує гроші або особисті приналежності до фондів благодійності або людям, які потребують цього. 

Sport in My School

If you want to keep fit you must go in for one kind of sport or anotner.

Sport is an essential part of my daily life. Every morning all the year round I do my morning exercises. Almost every day I do some training. In summer I go swimming or rowing. During my summer holidays I go on hikes. I usually spend my winter holidays in the country where I ski, skate or toboggan. I also go in for track-and-field (athletics) events.

Different sports and games are popular with my classmates. All my friends go in for different kinds of sport, such as water polo, gymnastics, horse-raeing, wrestling, fencing, weightlifting, boxing, ice-hockey, speed-skating, figure-skating, football, basket-ball, volley-ball, etc. We have fine teams at our school and different kinds of competitions take place there. The boys of my school are crazy about football, they play football and the girls are football fans. The girls never miss a single match played by school teams.

And now a few words about our physical training lessons. In winter our physical training lessons are held out-of-doors. We go skiing or skating. When it is cold outside P.T. lessons are held indoors, in our school gymnasium. We play different team-games such as basket-ball or volley-ball. Besides we have some training in gymnastics.

In autumn and in spring, when the weather is warm we have P.T. lessons at our school stadium. My school has a sports day once a year in late spring. On this day we have no lessons. All the competitors change into their sports clothes, the spectators find their seats round the track ready to cheer. All the events take place at the same time. This day is a great success every year. Even if the weather is not warm, we enjoy ourselves just the same.
