Task 1:


Click

Opinion and reason
Albert
Ovechkin  is the best player in the league and  he deserves every penny
Robert
Leonsis  made a smart move, because he wants winning  team.
Cathy
Because of  high contract, ticket’s prices  is  so high. It’s about 300$.

Morally wrong  to pay so much  many  to athletes. We should be  investing  in child care, education and health care.
