Bu they aren’t waiting for a film star or a famous singer. Tonight, they have come to watch a boxing match between the undefeated Kazakh champion Gennady Golovkin and the Mexican Canelo Álvarez. This is the age of sports superstars. Athletes like Golovkin and Álvarez are more famous than many actors and musicians. Attendance at sporting events is huge: 3.5 billion people worldwide watched the Olympic Games, and the FIFA World Cup is expected to attract even more viewers. The crowd in Las Vegas starts cheering. One of the boxers has just arrived. Gennady Golovkin has already won many boxing matches and he is ready for the challenge. In fact, he still hasn’t lost a match in the middleweight category. As a world champion and record holder, he is always in the public eye. In the weeks before an event, newspapers and magazines publish countless stories about his life, his achievements and his family. While some psychologists think that this obsession with sports personalities is pointless and even harmful, others see the athletes as positive role models for young people. Golovkin, for example, has encouraged hundreds of teenagers to take up sport. He has also showed them that it requires a lot of determination and hard work to become successful in any field. Many rising stars who haven’t had their big break yet look up to him for inspiration. Golovkin’s fans give out one last cheer as the boxer walks into the building. And who knows, maybe the next big boxing star will be one of the five million people who are going to watch him fight tonight.

why should i learn english? all languages are meant for communication and the most popular language in the world nowadays is english. my name is irina. i’m 15 years old. english is my favourite subject at school and i have been studying this subject since childhood. i live in a bilingual family. my mum is from russia and my dada is from georgia. so, different languages have always been heard in my house. my mum decided to expand my vocabulary and to take me to special kids’ courses of english language. the teacher quickly noticed that i’m quite good at picking up new words and i continued studying the foreign languages at school. from the 5th form i also started learning french. it’s a very beautiful language too, but english, in my opinion, is more practical and demanded in the world. when me and my parents travel to other countries i always take a chance to use my english there. almost all people easily understand what i mean. another reason for learning english is my future career. i’m planning to continue my education in a linguistic university and hopefully i’ll become an interpreter some day. i also like reading books and magazines in english, so my knowledge of foreign words really helps me. after all, i think that the more languages we know the better. i can make friends from different countries and keep in touch with them by e-mails. so, if i want my dreams to come true, i need to master and improve my english all the time.
