1. What is the role of books in our life? 

To begin with, that the educated person must read a lot to be an interesting conversationalist. A person who doesn't know the literature of his or her people, isn't interesting and pathetic.

My parents still visit a library, although there are a lot of books in our house. They read a lot and taught me to love reading. 

Какова роль книг в нашей жизни? Начну с того, что образованный человек должен много читать, чтобы  быть интересным собеседником. Человек, который не знает литературы своего народа, не интересен и вызывает жалость. В наши дни компьютер заменил нам книги и театр. Но люди все равно продолжают читать и смотреть спектакли. Культурный человек понимает, что невежество никого не украшает. Мои родители до сих пор посещают библиотеку, хотя очень много книг в нашем доме. Они читают много и научили меня любить чтение.

2. What genres of literature do you know?

Historical works are read by people who are interested in the past of our planet. Fiction is popular among young people. For example, I hate fiction.

3. Are you interested in reading?  

I love reading. I began to read, when I was only 4. Now I read everything, that comes across me. I read verses and prose, newspaper articles and articles in magazines. There are a lot of books in my house and I have already read them all.
Вы заинтересованы в чтении?  Я люблю чтение. Я начала читать, когда мне было всего 4. С тех пор я читаю все, что мне попадается на пути. Я читаю стихи и прозу, газетные статьи и статьи в журналах. В моем доме очень много книг, и я прочитал все.

4. What kinds of stories do you enjoy most? 

Most of all I like detective stories and novels. I like to investigate crimes together with an author. I like to predict events in a novel and I'm very glad, when my predictions come true. Unique, whatever I never read, it is fantasy. I hate it and does not understand.
Больше всего мне нравятся детективные истории и романы. Мне очень нравится вместе с автором расследовать преступления. Я люблю предсказывать события в романе и очень радуюсь, когда мои предсказания сбываются. Единственное, что я никогда не читаю, это фантастика. Я ее ненавижу и не понимаю.

5) Do you have a favourite book and for a favourite author? 

My favourite children's book is about Winnie the Pooh and his friends written by Alan Alexander Miln. It is so merry to travel together with the heroes of this glad fairy-tale. Winnie the Pooh is very kind and reliable friend, though a bit cunning. He always gets in funny situations and his life is full of adventures.

Есть ли у вас любимая книга и для любимого автора? Моя любимая детская книга про Винни Пуха и его друзей. Это так весело путешествовать вместе с героями этой радостной сказки. Винни Пух очень добрый и надежный друг, хотя и немного хитрый. Он всегда попадает в какие-нибудь смешные ситуации и его жизнь полна приключений.
