Do not Judge A Book By Its Cover(не судите о книге по обложке) I have never had a proper hobby, except reading. Reading is my favourite pastime, as it helps me to relax and forget about worries of the day. At the same time while reading I transfer to the world of the author and live through the events that main characters experience. To be honest not all books can capture my attention and engage me. I usually understand whether a book is worth reading after several passages, but I never judge a book by its cover. Some young people choose books only with glossy and shiny new covers thinking that these books will be interesting to read. I often choose the ones with old and shabby covers at the library. For me it means that the book was often read and thus it probably has interesting content. When I was little, my mum used to tell me that books are like people. If a person is wearing rich and attractive outfit, it doesn’t mean that he or she is going to be an interesting companion. And there are many people in humble clothes who are rather interesting to talk to. The same refers to books. Personally, I pay more attention to the title of the book. It instantly tells me what the author’s main idea is and what he is trying to convey through this book. However, some titles can also be uninformative or ambiguous. That’s why I like choosing a book at the library or at my friends’ recommendations. At the library you can always spend time reading the beginning of the book before borrowing it. At the same time, I fully trust my best friends’ tastes as we have the same views on certain life matters.
The person I admire is Lionel Messi, who is one of the best footballers of nowadays and one of the best players of all times!
Lionel Messi was born in June 1987 in the city of Rosario, in Argentina. He has two brothers and a sister. Two of his cousins are also footballers. His father's family comes from Italy, but the ancestors moved to Argentina in 1883.
Messi stared playing football when he was 5 years old. His father, a factory worker, was his first coach. Messi's grandmother wanted him to become a footballer and she herself brought Lionel to sport club trainings. Later on Lionel often devoted his first goals to her.
When the boy was 11 his family moved to Barselona. At 13 Lionel became a member of "Barselona" club team to which he belongs up to now.
Lionel Messi is married and has two sons.
Together with his team he won a lot of Europian and World Championships.
As the best player he was awarded 5 times the prize "The Gold Ball" and one prize "The Diamond Ball". The newspapers wrote: "...His legs are like Maradona's, his speed is like Crowford's and he passes like Ronaldinio"
Человеком, которым я восхищаюсь является Лионель Месси, один из лучших футболистов современности и один из лучших игроков всех времен! Лионель Месси родился в июне 1987 года в городе Росарио, в Аргентине. У него есть два брата и сестра. Двое его кузенов также футболисты. Семья его отца родом из Италии, но предки переехали в Аргентину в 1883 году.Месси начал играть в футбол, когда ему было 5 лет. Его отец, рабочий фабрики, был его первым тренером. Бабушка Месси хотела, чтобы он стал футболистом, и она сама водила Лайонела на спортивные тренировки клуба. Позже Лионель часто посвящал ей свои первые голы.Когда мальчику было 11 лет, его семья переехала в Барселону. В 13 лет Лионель стал членом команды клуба "Барселона", которому он принадлежит до сих пор.Лионель Месси женат и имеет двух сыновей.Вместе со своей командой он выиграл много чемпионатов Европы и мира.Как лучший игрок он был награжден 5 раз премией "Золотой мяч" и призом "Бриллиантовый мяч". Газеты писали: "...его ноги, как у Марадоны, его скорость, как у Кроуфорда и его пассы как у Рональдинио"
