(Раздаточный материал)

    If you are a sports fan, you are sure to know the name Michael Jordan, because he is probably the greatest basketball player the world has ever seen. Michael Jordan was born on February 17, 1963, in Brooklyn, New York. Michael Jordan certainly looks like a star. He is tall, well - built and handsome, with friendly brown eyes.

    He began playing basketball in 1981while studying at university. During the summer of 1984, Jordan made his first appearance at the Olympic Games as a member of the U.S. Olympic basketball team. The team won the gold at the games that year.

       Jordan played 15 seasons in the NBA for the Chicago Bulls and Washington Wizards. In April 2009, Jordan received one of basketball's greatest honors: he was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Although his career as a player is over, his fame will live on for many years.

       All in all, I admire Michael Jordan not only because he was a great athlete, but also because he is such a warm, caring person.
