My cherished dream is to visit Great Britain someday. At our English lessons we often "travel" throughout this country. There are a lot of wonderful sights there. And I would like to see everything with my own eyes.

And if I had such opportunity , first of all I would go to London to walk along the streets and hear the English speech and, I hope , that I would understand, what the English are speaking about . And, of course, I would try to communicate with them in their native language.

Then I would go to the Buckingham palace to see the real Queen there. I am sure she is as kind as my grandmother! And, of course, I would admire the Changing of the Guard. One day I saw this wonderful show on TV!

After that I would visit the London Tower and feed the ravens. They say, if the ravens fly away, the Tower will ruin?! Is it true?!

And besides I would visit the London parks because as I have read, they are so beautiful.

In Hyde Park, I would visit the Speaker`s corner, where I would say that I am happy to be here and want to make friends with the English.

In Regent`s Park I would visit the London Zoo. I have never visited the big zoos. It would be interesting to look at the animals who live there.

Returning home, I would buy souvenirs to all my relatives and friends. And as for me the trip to Great Britain would be the greatest gift!

My favourite writer (Arthur Conan Doyle )

I love reading English classical literature. But I am especially fond of English detective and adventure stories. I like Agatha Christie's books but my favourite author is Arthur Conan Doyle. I like him because his fiction is very realistic and helps to develop one's thinking and knowledge.  

Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Scotland in the family of Irish. He was a doctor. In 1882 he moved from Scotland to England to set up a practice. His medical knowledge was a great help to him in his detective stories.  

Conan Doyle was one of the first writers who started the fashion of detective story. Today the fashion goes on with the stories of other writers.  

Conan Doyle created his famous character, Sherlock Holmes, in 1885. Six years later, when Conan Doyle wrote some stories about this detective, the name of Sherlock Holmes became the name that everybody knew. Sherlock Holmes first appeared in a book called «Study in Scarlet» (Этюд в багровых тонах). «The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes» made him famous all over the world.
