Английский. Устные темы. 3. Books in my life (М. Е. Мезенцева, 2012)

3. Books in my life

I like reading very much and I can’t imagine our life without books. They teach us to recognize what is right and what is wrong. Books play a great role in forming our life values and characters. They also give us an opportunity to look into the past or into the future, using our imagination. Besides, they help us in our self-education.

When I have some spare time, I usually spend it with a book. I like to read detective stories about Sherlock Holmes written by Arthur Conan Doyle, adventure books, like “Oliver Twist” written by Charles Dickens, and poetry. As for historical novels, I find them less interesting and rather dull.

After reading an interesting book I always try to find out if there is a film based on this book. If there is any, I try to see it by all means, compare it with the book and make my own opinion of the heroes. It is always very interesting to find some difference between a film and a book.

Books must be our friends during all our life. I’m sure there is no situation in life which is not described in this or that literary work. That is why books help us to find solutions to any problems and answers to any questions. And now it’s only up to you to choose what book to read next.
