2. Read the text about Leo Messi life and write 5 simple questions, 5 wh
questions using past simple and answer them.
LEO MESSI
From a very early age, he had a passion for the ball. As a child, when he was
about 8, he had to undergo special treatment in order to have a normal rate of
growth. Every night he sat on his bed and had injections in his legs. The
problem was that the treatment was very expensive and his family couldn’t
afford it.
His parents tried everything. In the end, it seemed like the
solution was in Spain, in Lerida, where some of his relatives lived. His Dad was
offered a job and, at the same time, it was his chance to go for a trial with
Barça. Luckily, the trials went well and he joined FC Barcelona. Barcelona
signed him after watching him play, offering to pay for the medical bills if he
moved to Spain. His family moved to Europe and he started in the club's
youth teams. Messi made his official debut for the first team against Espanyol
on
