Arsenal vs Chelsea
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2537554-arsenal-vs-chelsea-winners-and-losers-from-community-shield
               Arsenal and Chelsea are rivals because they are from the same city, London. The former one is from North London, whereas the later one is from West London.  Arsenal has won Community Shield 14 times while Chelsea has won only 4 times. Arsenal won the 14th Community Shield by beating Chelsea 1-0 on Sunday at Wembley. Arsenal played without their best player, Alexis Sanchez; however, Chelsea's best player, hazard, played on Sunday. Alex Oxlade Chamberlain, who scored the winner goal made the differences at Wembley. About 25 minutes in, he was on the right side and assisted by English man, Theo, and he put Arsenal ahead. At Wembley, Arsenal created more chances than rivals, Chelsea which the commentator called the "losers". Arsenal missed many chances to increase their advantage probably 3-0, whereas Chelsea missed about two chances which may be help them to overcome. As a result, Arsenal has shown their top quality before the start of English Premier league which starts after 5 days. Obviously, Chelsea has also top quality players, but they couldn't beat the Gunners, Arsenal, on Community Shield. Therefore, what ever Chelsea can do Arsenal can do better.

Leonel Messi
       
                                            Messi is Better than Hazard
       Jose Mourinho, who has managed many teams in Europe, is comparing Leonel with Hazard. Comparing Messi to Hazard, in my opinion, is like comparing a huge ocean to river. Leonel Messi, who is playing for the Catalonia team, Barcelona, has won three titles this year, and he reached the Copa America cup final. He has also won an annual association football award given by FIFA, "ballon d'or", four time, and this is the most ballon d'or won by one soccer player. For example, he has won European Champions League and Spanish La Liga this year. He has scored more than 412 goals in ten years for FC Barcelona including his 58 goals in 2014-2015 campaign. Chelsea boss, Jose Mourinho, knows Messi is best soccer player on this planet, but he wants to tell us Hazard is the best player in Chelsea team. However, Hazard hasn't won any ballon d'or yet since he started playing soccer. He has also scored only 19 goals which is 1/3 of Messi's goals in 2015. Messi is not only the best player but also the most expensive player whom no club has tried to buy him yet.

Arsenal Theo Walcott



         Theo Walcott, the British man, now shows the interest to stay at Arsenal for the rest of the season. He describes Arsenal team as "something special" which shows his interest to stay at the club. "I enjoy playing for Arsenal," Theo said. "There is something special in this team," he added. Theo has scored many key goals for Arsenal. Specially, he scored essential goal against Aston Villa in May 2015 on FA Cup final. This goal led Arsenal to FA Cup glory with other two goals from two different players. He has also scored one goal for this club on preseason in Singapore. However, Arsenal have to sign at least one striker to challenge for the title. Walcott, of course, is one of Arsenal's strikers, but he usually plays on the right side not as the main striker. Therefore, only Walcott is not enough to keep Arsenal at the top of English Premier league table.

Ozil and Alexis

Ozil and Alexis

          I'm looking forward for the beginning of 2015-2016 English Premier League matches. In 2015-2016, who will be lifting the big title Chelsea, Arsenal, Man City, or Man United, the usual candidates, or others? From my point of view since Chelsea and Man united have already bought some super stars, they have more chance to lift the title. However, even if Arsenal hasn't yet bought the most needed players, it is possible for Arsenal to win the title without adding any player to their team. Look at Alexis, he is one of most talented soccer players on this planet, and it is the same for Ozil. Alexis, Chilean forward, is one of the players who lead their country to glory on Copa America. In addition, Ozil, German attacking midfielder, is the most talented midfielder in the world, and he can bring changes to the team. It is obvious that these two players are in Arsenal team; however there are many world class players in the team. Players such Wilshere, Cazorla, Chamberlin, and Walcott are also quality players. Therefore, what ever Chelsea and Manchester can do Arsenal can do better.

Introduction

         My name is Kalessa Dabi Megersa. Kalessa is my first name, and Dabi and Megersa are my second and last names respectively. I'm from Ethiopia, which is located in East Africa. I've been living in the United States  for 3 and half years, and I've been working full time job for 2 years. I started taking ESL classes last fall semester, fall 2014, and I'm almost about to complete ESL classes. I'm looking forward to start college classes such EGL, Biology, Chemistry, and so on. In future, I'll be studying Pharmacy as a major even if it was not my major when I was in my country. I wish I got my bachelor degree in my country, but I didn't get enough time to complete my classes. Therefore, I've decided to start ESL classes, and this class, ESL-0106, is the last ESL class. I hope it is not too far to get my bachelor degree.
