CRISTIANO RONALDO

Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro was born in 1985. He is widely regarded as one of the best
players in the world. The legendary Dutch genius Johan Cruyff said he’s one of the best ever. Ronaldo
became a soccer superstar playing for English team Manchester United, Spain’s Real Madrid and for
Portugal. He plays in midfield, from where he regularly scores spectacular goals.

Ronaldo started kicking a ball around when he was three. His skill was obvious then and by ten years
old, two of Portugal’s top clubs wanted to sign him. He joined Sporting Lisbon and became the only
player in their history to play for the Under16, Under-17, Under-18, B team and first-team within one
season. His skills soon attracted Europe’s big teams.

Manchester United decided Ronaldo was the perfect replacement for David Beckham and signed him
in 2003. He set the English Premier League alight in his time there with his silky skills, and helped the
team win nine trophies, including the UEFA Champions League. He also picked up the FIFA World
Player of the Year award in 2008.

In 2009, Ronaldo joined his boyhood heroes Real Madrid and became the most expensive footballer in
history. His transfer fee was over $131 million. He broke Real’s scoring record in his second season,
with 53 goals in all competitions. He bettered that in 2011-12, netting 60 times to help Real win
Spain’s La Liga. In 2012, Diego Maradona said Ronaldo was “the best player on the planet.”

A hobby is an activity that a person does in their free time. People have hobbies for pleasure. A person’s hobby is usually
connected to what they enjoy. A person who likes to create things with their hands, for example, may want to knit or do
woodwork. Collecting, making things and sports are all hobbies. Hobbies often lead to skill, knowledge and experience.

An Interesting Fact:

A hobby is also a falcon (a bird) that can be trained to fly at pigeons and partridges. In the Middle Ages, a popular activity
was training falcons to fly at other birds. It is believed that this is where the word hobby got its meaning.

IV. Read the text, and answer the questions

What is Leisure Time? If you hear someone talking about their “leisure time”, they probably mean
the time when they are away from work. A hobby can be part of our leisure time. Leisure time is not
spent on things that you have to do, like work, studying, errands, housework, etc.

What’s the difference between a hobby and leisure activity? A leisure activity can be a hobby:
gardening, sewing, painting, knitting, collecting, exercising, fishing, etc. are often hobbies. These are
things that one does in their leisure time. Leisure time can also be used to relax. Sleeping, watching
TV, lounging, etc. are all leisure activities.

My Leisure Needs Leisure activities may change according to what is going on in your life. For
example, if you are experiencing a lot of stress your most important leisure need will be to relax. If
you have a lot of extra energy, your leisure time may be active.

Why People Don’t Get Involved? Many people do not start hobbies or join leisure programs because
they think it costs a lot of money. Others miss out on leisure experiences because they don't know
what is available or how to get involved. For many people, a “leisure” activity is seen as a frill or
something that is silly or boring. Some people feel guilty if they use leisure time for themselves. They
