Write a short email (50-100 words) to your

following pieces of information:
A lot of people think that Andy Murray, the
famous tennis player, is English, but he isn’t.
He was born in Glasgow, a large industrial city in
Scotland, in May 1987, and he is very proud of
being Scottish. When he was young, he was good
at all sports, especially football, but he was also
a natural tennis player. He was confident and
hard-working, and, when only 14, he was happy
to leave home to study at the Sanchez-Casal
tennis academy in Barcelona. It was a great
opportunity for him to train with and play
against other top young players, like Rafael
Nadal and Novak Djokovic. He was so successful
that at the age of 17, he was the junior US Open
champion. That was in 2004. Four years later, he
won the Cincinnatti Masters in the USA, his
first senior masters championship.
Andy isn’t the only tennis player in his family.
His mother is a tennis coach, and his older
brother, Jamie, is a professional tennis player
for Great Britain. In fact, when he was young,
Jamie was the number 3 junior tennis player in
the world behind Rafael Nadal and Richard
Gasquet, but now he usually plays doubles. He was
a Wimbledon Mixed Doubles champion in 2007.
Andy travels all over the world playing tennis.
He spends a lot of time in the United States
these days, but still lives in his small home
town, Dunblane in Scotland. He often plays in
major tournaments, such as Wimbledon and
the French Open. At the moment, he’s playing
in a tournament in the United States. And,
next week, he’s back in Europe for another
tournament.

what he/she is doing at the moment,
why you like him/her.
