«Чтение — это прекрасный способ проводить время. Мой любимый жанр — фэнтези, при условии, что это хорошая литература. Но я также люблю поэзию, исторические, реалистические и классические романы».
«Я научилась читать рано, и книги очень повлияли на мою жизнь. Книги помогают мне добиться успеха в школе, использовать моё воображение. Книги побуждают меня исследовать новые предметы, помогают мне лучше понимать людей. Я очень люблю читать документальную и справочную литературу, биографии и автобиографии. А когда я хочу отдохнуть, я читаю детективы или научную фантастику. Всю эту неделю я читала книгу Бориса Акунина „Фантастика“. Я получила большое удовольствие и рекомендую её всем, кто любит хорошую художественную литературу».
“Reading is a wonderful way to spend time. My favourite genre is fantasy, as long as it is good literature. But I also like poetry, historical novels, realistic novels and classics.”
“I learnt to read early and books have really influenced my life. Books help me succeed at school and use my imagination. Books encourage me to explore new subjects and help me understand people better. I really like reading non-fiction, reference books, biographies and autobiographies. And when I want to relax, I read detective stories or science fiction. This week I have been reading a book by Boris Akunin, Fantastika. I enjoyed it very much and recommend it to everyone who likes good fiction.”
