Thank you very much for your letter. You asked me about the book I`ve just read.

Well, it is « The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes» by a well-known great writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. These detective stories were written in 1891 and were firstly published in 1892. They tell us about adventures of a very clever, brave and inimitable detective Sherlock Holmes and his best and true friend doctor John Watson. It is very interesting that Holmes is a person, who really existed. Professor of Edinburgh University mr. Joseph Bell was his prototype. Once Conan Doyle wanted to kill his character, but his fans didn`t like this idea at all, so he wrote more stories about Sherlock Holmes. In my opinion public love these detective stories because Holmes differs from other detectives, combination of absolutely different qualities makes him very timely nowadays. I suppose that you should read this book, because it is very original, interesting, amusing and exciting. It is very easy to read this wonderful book too. I can`t imagine my life without reading.

My family is neither large nor small. There are four of us: my father, my mother, my sister and me. My father is a specialist at a plant. His work is very serious, and I think he does his best. My mother is a teacher of geography at school. When she comes home, she is usually very tired, so my sister and I help her around the house.

My sister is two years my senior. She is a student at the Pedagogical Academy. She wants to be a teacher of Mathematics. She sometimes helps me with my studies.

During the weekends we try to spend much time together. We go to the river in summer, or we go skiing in winter.

I like my studies but I’m fond of other things too, e.g. I make computer programs, play the guitar, listen to music, chat with my friends in the Internet. I also like to travel. I study English since 2004. Now we study it again. We know how to pronounce better in English. This term we study grammar. Later we’ll learn how to read technical texts in English. My knowledge becomes deeper! Our teacher is Anna Pavlovna. I think she is the most competent English teacher!

My parents often say that this time of my life is the happiest. As for me, I don’t think it is so. There are so many difficulties, especially in my studies. But I hold on and say to myself: ‘Don’t give in!’ And finally everything is OK!

Moscow: Forever Young and Beautiful

Alexander is a Muscovite and he knows a lot about the history of Moscow. Moscow is the capital of Russia and of the Moscow region. It is the administrative centre of the Central district. It is situated on the Moscow River. Moscow is Russia’s largest city and the leading economic and cultural centre. Moscow is governed by a city council and a mayor and is divided into boroughs. The heart of Moscow is the Kremlin, a walled city

in itself. Its walls represent the city limits as of the late 15th century. The hub of

the Russian railway network, Moscow is also a port and has several civilian and

Adjoining the Kremlin in the east there is Red Square. It originally was a marketplace and a meeting spot for popular assemblies. Red Square is still used as a parade ground and for demonstrations. One of the most wonderful examples of Russian architecture is St Basil’s Cathedral. In front of the cathedral there stands a monument to the liberators Minin and Pozharskiy.

The village of Moscow was first mentioned in the Russian Chronicles in 1147. And this year it was founded by Yuri Dolgorukiy In the 15th century Moscow became the capital of the Russian national state, and in 1547 Grand Duke Ivan IV became the first Tsar.

Built largely of wood until the 19th century, Moscow suffered from numerous fires. The most well-known of them occurred during Napoleon’s occupation in 1812. Rebuilt, Moscow developed as a major textile and metallurgical centre. During the 19th and early 20th centuries it was the principal centre of the labour movement and social democracy.

During World War II, Moscow was the goal of the German offensive. Although the German columns were stopped only about 40 km from the city’s centre, Moscow suffered virtually no war damage.

The city hosted the Olympic Games in 1980.

In the 1990s the city began to attract foreign investment and became increasingly westernized. Many reconstruction projects were launched. Nowadays Moscow is even more beautiful with its modern cafes, shops and offices of European standard.
