- Hello, Peter! Happy New Year! How are you doing?
- Oh thanks, Nora! The same to you and your family! I’m fine. What about you?
- I’m great too. I saw you before the New Year’s Eve. I was so excited but you looked quite sad. You didn’t have any plans and you were going to see the New Year in sitting at home alone, before your TV.
- Yeah. But finally I made up my mind to call over my friends and celebrate at my place.
- Wow! That was a fantastic idea! I am sure you enjoyed the party.
- We really had much fun.
- What did you do?
- There were 12 of us altogether. We ate, drank and danced till midnight. Then when the clock struck 12 we drank a toast to the new year.
- Did you make any New Year’s resolutions for the coming year?
- Sure. It’s a good tradition for me. I wanna study hard and become the best student in our group. What about your resolution by the way?
- Well. I decided to start jogging every morning to lose some weight.
- Wow! That’s nice. I’m sure you will succeed in it and you won’t give up your jogging.
- Thanks, Peter. So what did you do after midnight? Did you go to bed?
- Oh no! After midnight we packed some food and had a great picnic in the park. It was so crowded there. We almost lost each other among the people. Anyway it was awesome. We watched colourful fireworks, went skating on the ice rink and played funny games.
- That sounds super. I will definitely go there next year.
- We should go together, Nora.
- O.K. And let’s just hope that the year goes well.
Actually, I’m not fond of sport, but sometimes I watch hockey games with my parents. My favorite team is SKA from Saint-Petersburg, Russia and in my opinion, the best player of the team is Iliya Kovalchuk.
Ilya started his hockey career when he was 16 years old in Tver. At first time he was a player of the famous Moscow team ‘Spartak’. He is a fantastic hockeyist and the player is loved by Russians so much. Probably, it is because he is the first Russian player invited in NHL in 2001. Ilya played in such Russian hockey teams as “Spartak”, “Ak bars” and “SKA”, but he also signed some contracts with teams of USA and played in “Atlanta” and “New Jersey”. Ilya is also known as a finalist of the Stanley Cup.
Besides, his team won a bronze medal at the 2002 Winter Olympic Games and Ilya has been a member of Russian Olympic team three times at least. Ilya has been honored with the Master of Sports title. In 2015 he gained silver medals of the World Championship.
Indeed, a lot of women like this guy because he is a very handsome and charismatic man. He is really tall (191 cm) and big (100 kg) like a savage Russian bear. His position in the team is forward. Competitors are afraid of him, but he is so respected by his partners and hockey fans.
By the way, Ilya Kovalchuk participates in different charity events and social occasions with other celebrities. He is favorable guest on every party. Ilya is known as a very good-natured and sociable sportsman. That’s why SKA twitter gets more than 100 000 followers.
As for me, I guess, that such people as mr. Kovalchuk can make every game more spectacular and interesting. I like him for his outstanding performance and achievements. He is not only a clever, nice and charming man but a great professional in the hockey sphere, that’s why he is my favorite sportsman.
