my school is quite far from home. if you go by bus, then you need to get off at the third stop. but i like walking more, it takes twenty minutes.
the road goes straight downhill. it crosses one of the large areas of our city with a wide ribbon. trees grow along the highway, sometimes bushes close the roadway. but what especially attracts me on the way to school is the two ponds to the left of the highway. they are small, with overgrown beaches and not very clear water, but ducks live there from early spring to late autumn. they swim like ships, feed on fry and bread that passers-by throw. and i always stop here for a short time, admiring the ducks, leaving food at the edge of the coast. cars rushing along, passers-by running, houses' windows flickering. i go to school and think: “this is my city, i love it. when i grow up, i will definitely stay here and clean out these ponds, strengthen the banks, put up benches. may this beauty be preserved for future generations.
I am really fond of sport. I like tennis, swimming, figure skating, football, valley-ball. However, my favorite sport is soccer. I like football both in our country and in foreign countries. I think that this game is very strict and tough. There are many popular football-players, for example: Paolo Maldini, Pirlo - they are playing in Milan; Konovaro is playing in Parma; Nesto is playing in Lazio; Baggio is playing in Breshia; Totti, Toldo, Ronaldo, Vieri are playing in Inter.
My favorite football-player is Ronaldo (Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima). Many people don't like him, but I adore. He was born in Rio (Brazil). He hadn't got any money, but he wanted to play football. When he was sixteen he started playing in "Cruzeiro", then he went to the World Cup in USA. Then he played in "Barcelona", then he went to Milan and played in "Inter".Later he signed one of the biggest contract with "Real" Madrid and finished his career in "Corinthians" in February 2011.
He is widely considered by experts and fans as one of the greatest football players of all time. He won his first Ballon d'Or as the European Footballer of the Year in 1997 (aged only 21) and again won the award in 2002 (26 years old). Additionally, he is one of only three men to have won the FIFA Player of the Year award three times, along with French footballer Zinedine Zidane and Argentine striker Lionel Messi. He was the best football-player in Europe. Now he has a very beautiful wife and son.
