Books... I think that we can't live with¬out them. I consider that books are with us dur¬ing all our life. When I was a child my parents read them to me. I was pleased to listen to the stories and tales. I learned a lot of interesting things from books. I re¬member, I liked thick books. Later I could read myself. I like to read books about animals, nature, and chil¬dren. I like to get presents on my birthday. I am happy if it is a book. It doesn't matter what kind of book it is. I like to read al¬most all the books. If I have got time I like to spend it with my favourite book. When I was 15 I was fond of reading too. But I prefered to read books about travels. I trav¬elled with the heroes of the stories. I saw many interesting places and learned a lot of important facts about other countries and people. Now I like to read books on science. You can learn many things from books. I am sure that books play a very important role in my life. Our family has got many books. All the members of our family buy books and read them. My mother says that books help us in self-education. In ancient times books were written by hand. It was difficult to write a book with a pen. Then printing came into our life. Printing played an im¬portant role in the development of litera¬ture and culture. Now there are a lot of books in the shops, there are many books in our flats. But it is difficult to buy all the books which we want to read. That's why we get books in public libraries. Sometimes it is difficult to solve some prob¬lems of life. I think that books can help us. Last year I read a very interesting book "An American Tragedy" by Theodore Dreiser. This novel was published at the beginning of the 20th century. The novel describes the tragic fate of a boy and a girl, Clyde and Roberta by name. It is a sad story. This novel was written many years ago, but it is popular nowadays. Books must be our friends during all our life. Нужно найти глаголы формы perfect
