Let me tell you about my own attitude to sports and sportsmen.
To begin with I must say that sport is one of the things that always keep people fit. 1 think that everyone must do all he can to be healthy. Physically inactive people get older earlier than those who have plenty of exercises. If you do daily exercises regularly you feel refreshed, have a good posture and that makes you feel well.
Wise people say that good health is a great blessing. Everyone should do all possible to stay healthy. Being in good health means having both body and mind in good working order free from diseases and pain.
There is a truthful Latin proverb: "A sound mind is in a sound body". If you want to keep yourself fit, you are to go in for sports.
Sport is very popular in our family. Together with my father we do our usual morning exercises at home and twice a week we have our basketball training in the sports club and in summer we like to swim most of all, because swimming makes a man healthy and strong.
I'm a hockey fan, too. I try to watch every hockey match on TV. Moreover I take part in different sports competitions which our school organizes from time to time. The most popular kinds of sport in our school are football, basketball, gymnastics, and wrestling. Some boys are also fond of boxing. Among girls callisthenics is very popular. All these sports have their strong supporters.
My favourite kind of sport is tennis. I have been playing it since I was eleven years old, and the more I play it, the more I like it. There is a good tennis court not far from my house and I often go there with my friends.
"One plus one",who has just been released, despite the fact that- in spite of the fact that (Я бы так сказала), to bring to life the spirit of adventure, he is generous in his, the film is about friendship, this film is about spiritual intimacy (Не нужно), the combination of..... makes me feel charming, the movie. Последние два предложения не нужно. Лучше :the film is very interesting and it can be seen by everyone.
David Beckham is a well-known English footballer, who is now retired. During his career he played for various clubs, including “Manchester United”, “Real Madrid”, “Milan”. He is especially famous for his excellent performance skills on the field and free kicks. In 2011, he became the highest-paid footballer in the world. Beckham was born on May 2nd, 1975, in London. His mother was a hairdresser and his father worked as a kitchen fitter. As a child, he regularly attended a church with his parents and two sisters. His parents were fans of “Manchester United” and often went to Old Trafford stadium to see the team’s home matches. David inherited this love for football from the very childhood.
His father started training him, when he barely was two. As a schoolboy, he already played for “Leyton Orient FC” representing the county of Essex. In 1991 he signed a contract with “Manchester United” as an intern. He started playing professionally for his favourite team in 1993. This period of his life lasted for ten years. David won his first cup in 1992, while playing for Manchester United. It was the Youth Federation Cup. In 1995, he played his debut game against the “Leeds”. The season of 1996-1997 became very significant for him. He replaced one of the main players and led his team to the gold medal championship of England and the quarterfinal of the Champions League.
Regardless his popularity, Beckham realized that football career is short-lived. His father helped him to convert his sports talent into money. When he was 20, he signed a contract with such giants of business as Pepsi and Adidas. He became the official face of these brands. Gradually, he became a real national hero. In 2000, he was appointed as a captain of the English national team. In 2002, he began playing for “Real” - a Madrid football team. His career in Spain quickly went uphill. In the seasons of 2006-2007 he became the champion of Spain, and he won the Super Cup in 2003. His assigned number “23” became a legend. The “Real” club has sold millions of T-shirts with this number.
In 2007, the footballer transferred to a small US club “Los Angeles Galaxy”. Starting from 2009, he was playing for Italian “Milan”. The debut with the Italian team was more than successful. He had two goals in four matches. By 2011-2012, several clubs were competing to get Beckham on their team, but he preferred to play his final season for the “LA Galaxy”. In December of 2012, he played his last match. Few people know that David suffers from a rare mental disorder. He constantly monitors that all things were placed in symmetrical order and in their places. Personal life of the footballer is connected with a well-known singer Victoria Adams, who was one of the “Spice Girls” stars. A couple has been married since 1999 and they have four children.

Hello Lucy,
I haven`t heard from you for so long, that`s why I was very glad to have received a letter from you. I do hope you are doing well and all members of your family are ok.
In your letter, you touched the topic of national holidays in my country, it is a very interesting one, and I can proudly say that we have a number of them to celebrate. Just, for instance, we celebrate Constitution Day on December 12th, Independence Day on June 12th and lots of others on different dates.
My family does not celebrate all of them. We celebrate only our favourite holidays - International Women's Day and Spring and Labour Holiday. Usually, my mom cooks some delicious meals and we go for a picnic because the weather on these days is fine more often than not.
Yours sincerely, Maria.
