CANCUN AND THE MAYAN RIVIERA
Cancun is blessed with endless stretches of white sandy beaches with turquoise waters. This is Mexico’s premier vacation destination, a Caribbean extravaganza with charms to entice any visitor. Cancun has a wonderful array of accommodations at great prices. Here you can shop until you drop or dine in an inexhaustible number of fine restaurants. Gateway to Quintana Roo, Cancun’s International airport is the point from which you will embark on an adventure that you are sure never to forget. Explore the Caribbean coast to find such destinations as Playa del Carmen and Akumal. Visit the mysterious Mayan ruins of Tulum, Coba or Chichén Itza, and experience the rhythms of another time, or visit the area’s incredible eco-parks such as Xcaret and Xel-Ha. Take a day trip to Isla Mujeres or Cozumel to dive and snorkel in their fabled reefs. Whether you like to snorkel, dive, golf or just lounge on the beach, there is so much to do and see that you will want to return many times to this tropical paradise.

Simple Present (I do): The simple present tense of all verbs in English (except the verb to be) has the same form as the infinitive. In the third person singular, however, “s” is added. An “es” is added when the verb ends in X- O- SH- CH- SS. he fixes- she goes- she finishes- he watches- she kisses me. We use this tense to describe an action which goes on every day or in general.

Hi Joe! How do you do? Fine, thank you. What are you going to do today? I’m going to watch the soccer’s farewell of Maradona on cable TV Is it a match? Yes, it is. Are you going to see it too? Sure. I like Diego and his former team Boca Juniors. And what are these magazines about? They’re about Diego. I bought them in the supermarket. I’m going to read them this weekend. We can watch the match at the restaurant. There are many guys from the university who wanted to watch the match this afternoon, and there are three boys from the university’s soccer team. It’s a good idea. We are going to meet some friends. Yes, all the guys are interested in Soccer, so they are going to see Diego in his last match. It sounds that we’re going to see a good match and that we’re going to have a nice time! We are going to see other soccer stars playing in this match. I’m going to call you in an hour to go to the restaurant. All right! I’ll be waiting for your call. Bye Joe! Bye Fred!

TALKING ABOUT MARADONA DIEGO IN FINLAND
My name is Diego Maradona and I play football. I’m from Argentina. It’s the tenth time, I’m starting all over again. I had problems with drugs, I came to Finland to join in Kontu football team. Kontu plays in third or fourth division at our national league. I can’t speak Finnish nor write it, so I have an interpreter with me whose name is Kata Fabritius. I am walking with her in the center of Helsinki. It’s awfully crowded here. My good buddy John Jones is with us, too. He is a lousy ski jumper. He heard that the Finns are excellent sportsmen. So he came to Finland to practice ski jumping. I have been in Sweden and Russia but they weren’t very good.
