Hi Nick,
I am writing you from Italy. My family and I are spending our wonderful vacation here. The weather is hot and I am swimming in the sea. My parents are lying in the shade of huge palm-trees. We usually visit the local amusement park and cafes in the evenings. Tomorrow we are going to the water park with dolphins.
What`s about your vacation?
See you soon!
Alex
Привет Ник,
Я пишу тебе из Италии. Моя семья и я проводим здесь наши замечательные каникулы. Погода жаркая, я плаваю в море. Мои родители лежат в тени огромных пальм. По вечерам мы обычно посещаем местный парк развлечений и кафе. Завтра собираемся в аквапарк с дельфинами.
А как твои каникулы?
До встречи!
Алекс
The cyclist Lance Armstrong is one of the most famous athletes in the world. He was born on September 18, 1971 in Texas. He is tall and slim with short blond hair and blue eyes. He began running and swimming when he was 10 and started competitive cycling.
In October 1996, the doctor diagnosed him with cancer (рак). It was a great shock for him, but he managed ti fight the disease and in 1997 he was healthy again. People did not believe him when he said that he would race again. They were all surprised when he won the Tour de France in 1999. Lance was again the best cyclist in the world. He become the first person to win the Tour de France 7 times, from 1999 to 2005.
There are many reasons why I admire Lance Armstrong. He is a brave and, hardworking and positive person. Hi did not give up on his career and dreams because of his disease. As an athlete he is strong and talented. He proved that anything is possible and that dreams can come true.
