BOOKS IN OUR LIFE
1. Are books worth reading or are they a waste of time? 2. What’s your opinion? 3. How much do you spend on reading? 4. Do you read only for your Russian Literature or do you do any extra reading? 5. What’s your favourite writer? 6. What kinds of books do you know? 7. What’s your favourite? 8. How old were you when you began to read? 9. Do you remember the first book you have read?
Don’t write anything on the pages with a pen or a pencil. Do not make drawing in the book. Do not tear up the pages. Return the books in the libraries in time. Do not lose your books or leave them in shop or buses. That means that you lose your friend.

a Dream once a dream did weave a shade o'er my angel-guarded bed, that an emmet lost its way where on grass methought i lay. troubled, wildered, and forlorn, dark, benighted, travel-worn, over many a tangle spray, all heart-broke, i heard her say: 'oh my children! do they cry, do they hear their father sigh? now they look abroad to see, now return and weep for me.

A Book Speaks When you drop me on the floor I get stepped on - my sides are sore; Torn-out pages make me groan; I feel dizzy if I'm thrown; Every mark and every stain On my covers gives me pain; Please don't bend me, if you do I don't want to talk to you; But we will both be friends together, If you protect me from the weather And keep me clean so that I look A tidy, neat and happy book.
Except a living man, there is nothing more wonderful than a book
