Условие.

15 Read the text about the famous sportsman. Say why we can call him a self-made person.

Roman Petushkov is the main hero of the Paralympic Games in Sochi. Roman took six gold medals in cross-country skiing and biathlon. It was the second Games in his career. Four years before, he participated in the Vancouver Paralympics in Canada.

In 2015 he was nominated Sportsperson of the Year with a Disability. But, as it often happens, this success came to Roman after a real drama.

Roman Petushkov was born in 1978, in a small place not far from Moscow. In his childhood he was a Bruce Lee fan and did lots of different sports: karate, boxing, judo. Apart from that, he used to go skiing in winter, and he was quite good at all these sports.

Suddenly, in 2006, a car accident changed his life – Roman's car was hit by a huge truck. In spite of the doctors' fears, Roman survived, but he lost his both legs. At that moment he could hardly predict that in a few years he would get back into sports and would receive national and international awards.

After the accident, Roman spent long months in the hospital. His friends told him about the coming Paralympic Games in Turin, Italy. Roman didn't know anything about the Paralympic movement at that time. He found out that the Paralympic movement began in 1880. It became really popular after World War II, when lots of brave young people with disabilities joined it. In 1948, disabled sportsmen started competing. In 1960 more than 400 athletes from 23 countries took part in the first Paralympics in Rome.

Roman watched the Paralympic Games on TV and was greatly impressed by the disabled sportsmen. He thought that he could do the same. He coped with his fears, pain and stress and became a winner.

Решение 2.

15 Прочитайте текст об известном спортсмене. Скажите, почему мы можем назвать его человеком, который всего добился сам.

Ответ:

We can call Roman Petushkov a self-made person because after a terrible car accident where he lost both his legs, he did not give up. He coped with his fears, pain, and stress through his own determination and hard work to become a Paralympic champion and a winner.

Мы можем назвать Романа Петушкова человеком, который всего добился сам, потому что после ужасной автомобильной аварии, в которой он потерял обе ноги, он не сдался. Он справился со своими страхами, болью и стрессом благодаря собственной решимости и усердному труду, чтобы стать паралимпийским чемпионом и победителем.
