Books play a very important role in my life. I think that modern life is impossible without reading. The more I read, the more knowledge and experience I get. I can’t say that all books are useful. Some are boring and pointless.
I like both fiction and non-fiction books, but my favourite genre is detective stories. This includes Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot books. I started reading books when I was quite young, about 8 or 9 years old. My first books were fantasy stories and I really enjoyed them.
At the moment we have many books on school program and I get less time for reading my favourite ones. I can’t say that I don’t like classical literature. It is also quite good. I especially like Pushkin’s poems and Gogol’s short stories. Sometimes I also read various stories in English. If I see an unknown or new word, I check its meaning in a dictionary.
The last story I read was “A cup of tea” by Katherine Mansfield. The plot was really engaging and the style of writing too. I’d like to read more stories by this author.
There are many teenagers nowadays who don’t like reading. They prefer watching TV or playing computer games. In my opinion, they miss something important. Reading a good book awakes a lot of positive emotions. It is like travelling to another world.
Educational books are also useful. They help us to prepare for important exams or tests.
Summing up, I should say every person should read books because they make us more intelligent and wise.

When we want to greet a foreigner in our country we usually go to the airport. We can take some cards with a foreigner's name on it. After the greetings we accompany a foreigner to the hotel because he needs some rest after the trip. But then we try to show to him a lot of sightseeings which symbolize our culture, art, nature and other national things. Of course, after the numerous visits of the museums, cinemas, galleries - a foreigner is tired, and we should feed him. So, we choose the place like a cafe, restaraunt or fast-food where a foreigner can taste the food which he would never have tasted in his country. And, of course, every foreigner should buy some souvenirs to bring them home for memory. Usually such an excursion lasts two or more days because our country is the biggest country of the world. And it needs time to show all its beauty and power.
