i live on the small caribbean island of
jamaica. like many of the 3 million people
here, sport and music are very important to me.
perhaps that's why so many sports and music
heroes come from our island.
we start playing sports seriously at a very young
age. even at primary school we follow an athletics
programme. at secondary school, there's the school
athletics championship, or champs. every year, about
25,000 people watch some of the heroes of tomorrow.
usain bolt, the olympic gold medallist, is from
jamaica and he once entered this championship.
as for music, in the 1960s, my own hero bob marley
introduced reggae to the world. he didn't only sing
about happiness, love and sadness. he also sang
about how people live and their problems. today,
even the youngest musicians write about our life here
on the island. when you next listen to a song from
jamaica, don't forget it's probably about us, our life
and our culture!

3. Near the park I saw a man on horseback. I saw at once that he was a stranger. He was very tall, dressed in rich clothes, with a gold chain hanging about his neck and seemed to be about forty years old. His face was long and thin, the eyes were large and shining, the mouth was small with a cruel ... (не хватает существительного) on it, the forehead high and marked with a scar.
