Books in my life.

In a childhood I didn’t like reading. But my parents always said that I should read more.

I don’t remember my first book but I remember correctly I love reading after book of brothers Strugatsky“Hard to be a god”. The novel follows Anton, an undercover operative from the future planet Earth, in his mission on an alien planet, that is populated by human beings, whose society has not advanced beyond the Middle ages.

Now I like books and I like reading very much. I like going around book shops and browse books. I judge a book by its cover. If the cover looks interesting I read the first page. If it’s boring I don’t buy the book- if I turn over the page and carry on reading, I buy the book. Sometimes I read books reviews in the internet and magazines, and when I read about a book that sounds interesting I remember it.

I read different books but I prefer stories where I can find real life, real characters and true love. I’m greatly interested in Russian literature of the 19th century. I like all products by A.P Chekhov. He had a good feeling for characters and the relationships between them, and that’s what I find interesting in a book.

Unfortunately, nowadays I’m very busy with my studies so I don’t have much free time for reading, but anyway reading for me is relaxing. 

 Now I read a book by Leonard Mlodinov “Not made accident”

My English experience.

I've been learning English about 5 years. I try to be an intelligent student but sometimes I can’t. In my opinion if you want to study English you should be hard -working obviously, and you should be eager, you know, you should be eager to study which means that you should initiate your study and then try to start learning by yourselves, not like depending on the teacher, and you know, just doing what you are told to do. I think you should have the motivation to study, so that would make a good student.

Another way of studying a foreign languages is how you learn the language. There are a lot of ways of studying English. Nobody learns a language the same way. As many people as many learning methods.  Try to combine the different methods and get a balanced approach.  You should do a little reading, a little writing, a little speaking and a lot of listening.  

If you have enough money the best way to learn a language is go to a native speaking country, and live there for a year or two. You can take a crash course of spoken English and immerse yourself completely into the language and the culture.

And of course you have to be disciplined and learn to manage your time. Don’t leave things to the last minute. It’s a good idea to do the tasks in good time.
