<span>Dear Daryna,</span><span><span> H</span>ow are you? I hope the summer job
is going well. Did you brother ready to go to school. <span>I want to tell you about my favourite writer.
It is Alexandra Marinina. She is considered to be a Russian Queen of detective
prose. The works of this author are clever and really interesting. In all books
there are the same characters and starting a new book you meet old friends. The
author used to work as an investigator and she knows how to arouse the reader’s
interest and at the same time writes the facts that could take place. Many
detective novels by Marinina are translated into foreign languages and foreign
readers can compare our writer with Agatha Christie. When I got acquainted with
these books I was greatly impressed by the wit and humour. The main character,
a slender and weak woman, doesn’t need to fight with the criminals using judo
or something like that. She is very clever and intelligent. Her brain works as
a good computer and she knows how to derive benefit from it. All the actions
and characters are described so vividly that I had a feeling of our possible
meeting when I visited Moscow last summer. Unfortunately I don’t have complete
works by Marinina, it’s impossible, she’s still writing. But I always recommend
my friends to read these books.</span></span>

Learning foreign languages is important nowadays. I think that any educated person must learn foreign languages. But I prefer English to other foreign languages. Why? English is becoming a global language. A half of billion people in the world use English at home or work. English is the language which is known for the most part of our fine, magnificent and surprising world. English is so widespread that it has become the standard language for all kinds of international communication.
A lot of problems of the 21st century, such as the problems of war and peace, ecology, can not be solved without speaking the same language.
The English language is now the first language of about 350 million people, the native language of 12 nations and the official language of more than 33 nations. It means that one of seven people in the world speaks English.
English is also the international language of businesspeople, pilots and air traffic controllers, sportsmen, scientists and students. If you want to be a stewardess, a pilot or an air control officer you have to learn English, the language of international communication. Every year thousands of people from Russia go to different countries as tourists or to work. They can’t go without knowing the language of the country they are going to. A modern engineer or even a worker cannot work with an imported instrument or a machine if he is not able to read the instruction how to do that.
Some people learn English because they need it in their work; others to travel aboard and for lots of people learning English is just a hobby.
I have been learning English since the age of 11. I like learning English very much. But I like and know well my native language, Russian. The great German poet Goethe once said: “He, who knows no foreign language, does not know his own one.” I agree with him. The knowledge of English helps me to learn Russian.
The knowledge of English is a great power. I need to know English. I must appreciate and embrace this knowledge as the key to achievement of my dream. I hope my progress in English will be very good.
