Hi Leyla,

Greetings from Rome! I'm on a school trip here. We arrived
yesterday and are staying in a lovely hotel in the city centre. It's near
all the tourist attractions. The weather is warm and sunny! It's a bit
chilly at night but that's OK.

Yesterday, we were all tired after our flight, so we slept a lot. Now, we are all looking forward to visiting
the city. This afternoon, we're going on a walking tour. First, we're going to the Colosseum and then
we're walking up the Palatine Hill. Our teacher is taking us to a famous café afterwards. I can't wait!
Tomorrow morning, we're going to visit the Pantheon, an ancient temple, and in the afternoon we're

going to visit the Pasta Museum. It's going to be a great weekend.
4 I've got to go now. See you when I get back.
Love,
Zhanat

 Он является аргентинским футболистом, который в настоящее время играет за Барселону и за аргентинскую национальную сборную. Он родился 24 июня 1987 года в Росарио - это большой город в центральной Аргентине. Его отец был рабочим на заводе, а мама - уборщицей с частичной занятостью. Именно его отец обнаружил талант Лионеля. Он начал играть в футбол за местную команду, когда ему было всего пять лет. Позже он играл за местную молодежную команду, которая за следующие четыре года проиграла только один раз. В возрасте 11 лет он серьезно заболел, и на его лечение требовалось много денег. Местная команда отказывалась оплачивать лечение. Но вскоре к таланту Месси проявил интерес спортивный директор Барселоны и тот переехал в Испанию. Во время своего дебютного матча за Барселону он стал самым молодым игроком, побившим рекорд, и забившим первый гол в игре лиги. Это был его прорыв. Все последующие годы были довольно успешными для молодого Месси. Его низкий рост, быстрая хватка и безжалостный стиль атаки сравнивались с другим всемирно-известным аргентинским игроком - Диего Марадоной. Именно Лионель Месси в итоге принес успех и славу Барселонской команде. В возрасте 21 года он получил свою первую награду «Чемпион мира». Он также является обладателем золотой Олимпийской медали и многих других международных наград. На мой взгляд, его талант, мужество и волевой характер достойны восхищения.He is an Argentinean footballer, who currently plays for the Barcelona and Argentine national team. He was born on June 24th 1987, in Rosario - a large city in central Argentine. His father was a factory worker, and his mum was a part-time cleaner. His father was the one to detect Lionel’s talent. He began playing football for the local team when he was only five. Later he played for the local youth team, which lost only one game during the next four years. At the age of 11 he was diagnosed with a serious disease, which required lots of money for treatment. The local team was unwilling to pay for his treatment. But soon the sporting director of Barcelona showed interest in his talent and Messi moved to Spain. During his debut game for Barcelona he became the youngest player to break the record and to score the first goal in a league game. This was his breakthrough. All the seasons that followed after this game were rather successful for young Messi. His short stature, speed and relentless attacking style were compared with other world-famous Argentinean player - Diego Maradona. It was Lionel Messi who consequently brought success and fame to Barcelona team. At the age of 21 he received his first FIFA World Player of the Year nomination. He is also the holder of an Olympic gold medal and many other international awards. In my opinion, his talent, courage and strong-willed character are worth admiring.

Days in the MonthThirty days has September,
April, June and November;
February has twenty-eight alone.
All the rest have thirty-one,
But leap year coming once in four
Gives February one day more.

Rain will soon come;
If they fly away,
Fine will be the day.

Rain will never come to pass.
A sunshiny shower
