Roger Federer


Roger Federer is a Swiss tennis player, that can be undeniably described as one of the most outstanding athletes. He is the only player, who have won five times three from four existing grand slams. This is one of the reasons he’s  called by many people GOAT ,which stands for Greatest Of All Time. His legend is so huge, that some of his fans seem to take part in some kind of a cult, rather just supporting and admiring Roger. They name their children in honour of Federer or even feel a stronger bound with a tennis master than with their own wife.Homever it’s not really just his character-modesty and friendlness, that are a factor here. It’s manly about his style, (not observed in a modern tennis)and his perfection playing it. The Swiss man plays offensive, gracefull, majestic and technically impeccable tennis and that’s what’s the most important for his adorers.

     This week I have read an article form The Guardian about Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson, his University Education and the way it affects his present activity.  The article is written by a man, who shared his University classes (although not at the same time, but have attended the same subject in the same school). The studies it is all about was Latin and Greek and an author notices Johnson's eagerness about using this background in the political debate. The esssay is based on three main themes – interwieving university environment on Johnson, quoting times he used his classic education and finally, the author's very critical rewiev of PM's habit and it's foundation.      Although I personally, to say lightly am not a fan of Boris Johnson I found this article quite bizzare and poor. I liked the idea of the article and mere story but the usage of  it could be better to say the least. The essayist wanted to attack the pol...
