TESSIE
We were moving house and dad asked me to help him sort out all the boxes in the storeroom. I hadn't
been in the storeroom for aged and wondered what we would find. One wall was line with shelves, stacked with
boxes almost to the ceiling there were many other wrapped up objects of different shafts and size Dad open the
boxes and rummaged through them. I moved over to a wooden box and was just about to lift the lid when it
toppled over. Everything fell out into a heap.
Be careful!' shouted dad, There may be something fragile in there, Then I saw it! My heart began to pound and
my knees began to shake. It was a rubber ring. It had belonged to my beloved dog. Tessie. She died two years
ago.
I was only four when we got Tessie. I chose her from among other puppies. She was my best friend.
Although she had a basket in the kitchen she would creep up to my room at night and sleep in the bottom of the
bed. If I was cold she would snuggle up next to me. Tessie could do anything. She could beg and sit and shake a
paw. I taught her to fetch things. One Christmas I bought her a rubber ring I wrapped it up in shiny paper and
place it under Christmas tree. She played with it everyday. Tessie would wait at the front door when she knew it
was time for me to come home from school. She would howl the panting with the rubber ring in front of her If
didn't play, she would howl and wouldn't stop until I did. In the weekend we would take the ring to ihe
playground and play for hours and hours until neither of us could run anymore.
Then one day Tessie feIl ill. She didn’t wait for me by the front door anymore and she didn't want to
play with the ring I tried to encourage her, "Come on, Tessie. Come and play. :
Seemed out of breath She couldn’t walk very well and she wasn't eating properly. Mum and I took her to the
vet. The vet shook her head and told us that Tessie was really sick There,nothing they can do for her, 'mum
whispered to me. I went to the room where Tessie was waiting and said my goodbyes I felt her warm fur for the
last time on my face and then I ran out side and cried. . . .
What's the matter, son?' asked Dad. He put an arm around my shoulder. We all miss her, 'said Dad sadly, 'She
was a good dog, a really good dog. I nodded and put the ring hack in the box

Cristiano Ronaldo was born on February 5, 1985, in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal. Manchester United paid
£12 million to sign him in 2003 - a record fee for a player of his age. In the 2004 FA Cup Final, he scored
Manchester's first three goals and helped them capture the championship. In 2008, he set a franchise record for
goals scored. In 2009, Real Madrid paid a record $131 million for his service.
It was through his dad's work as an equipment manager at a boy's club that Ronaldo was first introduced
to the game of soccer. By the time he was 10 years old, he was already recognized as a phenomenon - a kid who
ate, slept and drank the game. "All he wanted to do as a boy was playing football," his godfather, Fernao Sousa,
recalled for British reporters, adding, "He loved the game so much that he'd miss meals or escape out his
bedroom window with a ball when he was supposed to be doing his homework."
 By his early teens, Ronaldo's talent and legend had grown considerably. After a stint with Nacional da liha
da Madeira, he signed with Sporting Portugal in 2001. That same year, at the tender age of 16, Ronaldo turned
heads with a impressing performance against Manchester United, wowing even his opponents with his footwork
and deft skill. He made such an impression that a number of United players asked their manager to try and sign
the young player. It wasn't long before the club paid Ronaldo's team more than £12 million for his services - a
record fee for a player of his age.

Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) — Astronomer and Scientist. Galileo developed a superior telescope and
made many significant discoveries in astronomy. He was sentenced to life imprisonment by the inquisition for
his support for the Copernican theory that the sun was at the centre of the solar system.
Galileo was born in Florence, Italy in 1564 to a poor but noble family His parents recognized their
child's innate intelligence and talents and so made sacrifices to have him educated. At his father's insistence,
Galileo studied the profitable career of medicine. But, at the University of Pisa, Galileo became fascinated in a
wide range of subjects. He was also critical of many of Aristotle's teaching which had dominated education for
the past 2,000 years.
Galileo was appointed to be a mathematics professor at the University of Pisa, but his strident criticisms
of Aristotle left him isolated among his contemporaries. After three years of persecution, he resigned and went
to the University of Padua, where he taught maths. His entertaining lectures attracted a large following and he
was able to spend the next 18 years pursuing his interests in astronomy and mechanics.
