Lionel Andrés Messi

Lionel Andrés Messi was born on June 24, 1987, in the city of Rosario,
Argentina. Everyone knows him now as the best football player in the
world. A lot of people say he might become the greatest player ever.
We’ll see about that at the World Cup. Messi is FIFA World Player of
the Year. He also helped his club team Barcelona win the European
Champions League and the World Club Championship.

Messi grew up playing football. He joined his first club when he was
five. At the age of eight, he signed up for the famous Newell's Old
Boys' youth team. His career nearly ended when doctors found out he
suffered from a growth hormone deficiency. Luckily, agents from
Barcelona saw his talent and in 2000, he moved to Spain. The Catalan
club paid for his medical treatment and coached him until he made his
Barcelona debut.
Lionel started breaking records as soon as he played his first game
for Barcelona in the 2004--‐05 season. He became the youngest
footballer ever to play at La Liga game and the youngest to score a
goal. He helped his team win the league in his first season, and the
league and Champions League double in the following season. In the
2008--‐09 season, he scored an impressive 38 goals as Barcelona
won the treble.
Messi has an amazing career ahead of him. He is set to shine in South Africa. Many football experts compare him to the legendary
Pele and Maradona. This World Cup could be the stage for him to show people he is the best. His skills on the ball, ability to get past
defenders and his goal--‐scoring are breathtaking. Top soccer coach Arsene Wenger said Messi is “like a PlayStation. He takes
advantage of every mistake team to make”.

The Smith Family
The family climbed out of the car and walked slowly
into the restaurant. Dad was in a very good mood
because it was his 60th birthday that day. He used
to hate celebrating his birthday, but now that he’s
older. He enjoys the attention. It was very hot that
night, possibly the hottest night of the year. They all
chose to go to the fish and Seafood restaurant in
their village. It had air-conditioning so it wouldn’t be
as hot as at home. When they sat down the waiter
came quickly to bring them the menus. He told them
about the specials that evening and gave them some
time to decide what they wanted to order. Mom
ordered salmon, Luke ordered shrimp and Dad
decided to have something special lobster.
They started their meal with some nice salads and delicious, crispy bread with olive oil. They were talking about the rest of their
summer holidays. Then the main courses arrived. They all smelled absolutely fantastic. Then suddenly Dad saw something strange.
