There are many Islands on the Volga river. Why is this Island my favorite place? Well, I like it because there are no people. It is very quiet and green. There are some sea-gulls there. What do we do there? We have picnics, play badminton, swim a lot. We go by boat early in the morning, and come late in the evening. We enjoy our picnic very much.
Мое любимое место это не город. Это небольшой остров на реке Волга. Я езжу туда с моей семьей летом.
На реке Волга есть много островов. Почему этот остров мое любимое место? Ну, мне нравится потому что здесь нет людей. Тут очень тихо и зелено. Здесь есть несколько чаек. Что мы делаем там? Мы устраиваем пикники, игрем в бадминтон, много плаваем. Мы едем на лодке рано утром и приезжаем поздно вечером. Мы очень наслаждаемся нашим пикником.
My Favourite Writer (M. Lermontov)
One of Russia's most celebrated poets of all times, Michael Lermontov was born in Moscow in the family of a nobleman. He spent his childhood and youth in Tarckany, in the province of Penza.
In 1830 Lermontov entered the Moscow University, but very soon he had to leave it. Then he entered St. Petersburg School of Cavalry Cadets. He finished it and served in the Hussar Regiment of the Imperial Guard.
In 1837 the poet was exiled to the Caucasus for his poem "Poets Death". In 1840 Lermontov was exiled to the Caucasus for the second time. He was provoked into personal quarrel with his schoolmate. The quarrel led to a duel. On July 15th, 1841 the poet was killed. He was not even 27 at that time.
Lermontov began writing when he was very young. One of his first writings to be published was his verse tale "Hadji Arbek".
But he won fame as a poet after his poem "Poets Death" was published. Lermontov's poems "Demon" "Mtsyri" his great novel "A Hero of Our Time" and his play "Masquerade" are masterpieces of Russian literature.
Whether he wrote poetry, drama or prose, the stamp of his genius was to be found on his works. Lermontov's influence as of a poet and a thinker on all Russian writes can't be overestimated.
