I like to read fiction. Some people think it to be a waste of time, but I know that reading books means a larger vocabulary and increased brain activity. My favourite genres are science-fiction, love stories, historical novels and adventure stories. I prefer reading paper books, but electronic books can be useful too. One e-book can store hundreds of stories and novels. This is especially a great advantage if you travel a lot.
1)I read two kinds of books: textbooks for studying and art books. (я читаю два вида книг: книги для обучения (то есть учебники) и художественную литературу) 2)Information from electronic books don't stay in the memory for a long time, because of that only textbooks and exactly tasks books are good in electronic form. (Информация из электронных книг долго в памяти не задерживается, поэтому только учебники и, в особенности, задачники хороши в электронном виде)

Про кенгуру Kangaroos are large marsupials that are found only in Australia. They are identified by their muscular tails, strong back legs, large feet, short fur and long, pointed ears. Like all marsupials, a sub-type of mammal, females have pouches that contain mammary glands, where their young live until they are old enough to emerge. Кенгуру большие сумчатые, которые находятся только в Австралии. Они идентифицируются по их мышечным хвостам, сильным задним ногам, большие ноги, короткая шерсть и длинные, заостренные уши. Как и все сумчатые, суб-виды млекопитающих, у самок есть мешочки, которые содержат молочные железы, где их младенец питается там же, пока он не станут достаточно взрослым.
