а)In 1991, Armstrong competed in his first race, the Tour DuPont: a long and difficult 12-stage
race, covering 1,085 miles over 11 days. He did not win the race, but he did very well. After that,
he took part in many races and won quite a few.
b)
In October 1996, the doctors diagnosed him with cancer. It was a great shock for him, but he
managed to fight the disease and in 1997 he was healthy again. People did not believe him
when he said that he would race again. They were all surprised when he won the Tour de
France in 1999. Lance was again the best cyclist in the world. He became the first person to
win the Tour de France 7 times, from 1999 to 2005.
c)There are many reasons why I admire Lance Armstrong. He is a brave, hardworking and
positive person. He did not give up on his career and dreams because of his disease. As an
athlete he is strong and talented. He proved that anything is possible and that dreams can
come true.

How I spent my summer. Summer vacation is always nice. Finished school, left behind calls, breaks, and we have something very good. Together my sister and I are happy to care for our vegetables. We water, weed our green garden planted with radish, sorrel, dill, parsley. And we are pleased when mum over lunch she said, "Oh, what a delicious salad of your vegetables! Well done, my girls, my assistant!" In the summer there is time and girlfriends to walk, and to play games, and visit to go. But most of all I wait, when our parents go with us to the sea. This summer I finally learned to swim every morning and was jumping for joy on the road to the sea and back. I really like the sea. It is broad-broad, deep, deep, the unknown, sometimes even a little scary when long look at him. The sea is quiet and soft, near and far, warm and cool. And as a nice dip on a hot day in a soft, transparent, water — and swim, dive and wallow. Now on the table before me lay the sea shells. I put it to my ear and hear the sound of the surf. I feel as if, like a sea wave flying and bumping into a stone, throws it in my face a thousand sparkling salt spray. And I laugh, I rejoice with her mom, dad, sister, together with the sea gulls and the sun. Quickly summer flies, now and September. And it's good you can share with friends their summer news, I want to see all the boys and girls of our class, I want to start to learn and please parents with their success. I think next summer I will cheerfully say, "Hello! Let's relax and rejoice together. We deserve it!" -
