世界杯小组赛已经过半，相信大家一定有自己喜欢的球星和球队。今天我给大家带来一个万众瞩目的外星人般的足球名将，相信大家已经猜出来了，他就是代表阿根廷队 的Lionel Messi，相信大家看了他这届的表现对天王有点失望，但是一个人踢21个人确实有难度啊。今天我就着重来谈谈梅西，顺便我们也来准备一个雅思的part2 : An athlete you like.
Born and raised in central Argentina, Messi was diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency as a child.
梅西小时候被确证为生长激素缺乏症
At age 13, he relocated to Spain to join Barcelona, who agreed to pay for his medical treatment.
他被送到巴塞罗那俱乐部，是她们同意支付他的医疗费，才救了他的足球梦。
At 22 years old, Messi won the Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year award by record voting margins.
在年仅22岁，他同时获得了金球奖，和国际足联颁发的年度足球先生，而且是以创历史的票数优势获得的。
Three successful seasons followed, with Messi winning three consecutive FIFA Ballons d'Or, including an unprecedented fourth. His best campaign statistically to date was the 2011–12 season, in which he set the La Liga and European records for most goals scored in a single season.
梅西连续并前所未有地拿下了4个金球奖，在2011-12赛季，他在西甲和欧洲创造了历史最多进球数。
After announcing his international retirement in 2016, he reversed his decision and led his country to qualification for the 2018 World Cup.
自己取消了退出阿根廷国家队的决定后，他引领阿根廷挺进2018世界杯。
这才有了我们梅西的参赛，可以说是他最后一届世界杯了，我真希望他们能走得更远，让梅西状态来个爆的，也来个hat trick,帽子戏法。和他的perceived career rival. C罗一样秀一把绿茵场。接下来我们转到雅思话题，我们来看下这个关于运动员的题：
Describe a famous athlete you know
Who he or she is
How you know him or her
What he or she has achieved
Why he is famous
