Books... I think that we can't live without them.A book is one of the greatest wonders of world. Why are so many people fond of reading? The world of books is full of wonders. Together with the characters of books you can find yourself in different citys and countries, have a lot of adventures. The book is a faithful friend. They form our values and characters. We try to look like the characters of your favourite books: to be brave, honest, not to be silly and greedy, to be real friends. We enjoyed the beauty and wisdom of fairy-tales and fables when we were babies and Granny read them. They taught us to be kind, clever, hardworking, to understand other people and help them. They teach us to understand the beauty of nature, take care of it, to love our homeland.  I consider that books are with us during all our life.When I was a child my parents read them to me. I was pleased to listen to the stories and tales. 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.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 important role in the development of literature 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 books which we want to read. That's why we get books in public libraries. There are some problems in our life and sometimes it is difficult to solve them. I think that books can help us.

I have read a lot of interesting books, but my favourite is the children of capitan Grant by Jules Verne.
