WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE WRITER?

I think that reading plays a great role in bringing up. Children who like reading become more clever and intellegent. I love reading. From the early childhood I began to read. Firstly it were little stories then fairy tales and then stories about animals or children of the same age.At about 13-14 I began reading love stories.Then detectives. Now I like life stories. My favourite writer is Solzhenitsyn. I like all of his books.

Okay and what is your favourite writer and why do you think reading is important?

I think that`s one of the MOST important parts of the child`s upbringing. It helps to enlarge his or hers vocabulary. My favourites are: Oscar Wilde (Kiss),Erland Lou, Sophie Kinsella, JK Rowling, M. Bulgakov, John Grishem and etc…

About TV!!!!

I agree that it can help if it is used in the right way but mostly it does quite the opposite. TV attracts and one can not do anything but waching it everytime.

Solzhenitsin is the nobel price winner!!!!

Don't you really know him?

He lived in the soviet union and then moved(was departed) to America!!!!!He wrote the great description about the life in the Soviet and about the hard works where he was himself.

I'm happy that you become interested in his great life. By the way he is still alife,lives in America and writes.Recently he has been awarded by  Russia goverment. I think it'd be better to read his stories. They are like authobiography.

He was about 27 when he had been arrested.

Some people think that he betrayed Russia and so on and so forth(I've read some comments on after his interview). I hope that you will understand that he was betrayed by his native country.

When  I was  younger,  I  just  loved  reading  for  Jules  Verne (Science fiction).  His  work is  among the classics  of Englilsh literature , I think.  I  used to buy his  simplified  books  because the original  ones were  more difficult  for me at the time.

But  now, absolutely, J.K.Rolings, author of the famous Harry Potter series.ًً
