Ronaldo was born on February 5, 1985, in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal, a small island off the western coast of the country. Ronaldo is the youngest of four children born to Maria Dolores dos Santos and José Dinis Aveiro. He was named after Ronald Reagan, one of his father's favorite actors. Ronaldo grew up in a largely working class neighborhood in a small tin-roofed home that overlooked the ocean. Ronaldo was introduced to the game of soccer through his dad, who worked as an equipment manager at a boy's club. His early life was shaped by hardship, as his father often drank too much. To help keep the children fed and maintain some financial stability, Ronaldo's mother worked as a cook and cleaning person. In 2005, when Ronaldo was playing for Manchester United, his father died from alcohol-related kidney problems; in 2007, his mother struggled with breast cancer. The former was especially hard for Ronaldo since he and his dad had been close. The young athlete had often pushed for his father to enter rehab and address his drinking. His father, however, never accepted the offer. By the time he was 10 years old, Ronaldo was already recognized as a phenomenon — a kid who ate, slept and drank soccer. "All he wanted to do as a boy was play football," his godfather, Fernao Sousa, recalled for British reporters, adding, "He loved the game so much he'd miss meals or escape out of his bedroom window with a ball when he was supposed to be doing his homework." By his early teens, Ronaldo's talent and legend had grown considerably. After a stint with Nacional da liha da Madeira, he signed with Sporting Portugal in 2001.
Being a farmer is very important. Farmers usually live in the countryside on a farm. They grow different varieties of fruit and vegetables. They also grow weet and everything that can be found in the fields. Farmers normally have a lot of farm animals such as: cows, sheep, horses, pigs and so on. They also do other work. Farmers plant seeds, milk cows, feed hens, drive tractors and make scarecrows to scare birds away from the seeds. Although farmers often work without weekends, they have an interesting and important job. ПЕРЕВОД: Работать фермером очень важно. Фермеры обычно живут загородом, на ферме. Они выращивают разные виды фруктов и овощей. Они также выращивают пшеницу и все, что растет на поле. У фереров обычно много животный таких, как: коровы, овцы, лошади, свиньи и так далее. Они также выполняют другую работу. Фермеры сажают семена, доят коров, кормят кур, водят тракторы и делают пугала, чтобы отпугивать птиц от семян. Хотя фермеры часто работают без выходных, их работа очень интересна и важна.
