How I was reading "Rebecca" I like reading and my favorite genres are fantasy, mystery, and adventure. One of my last book which I have read was Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier. I decided to read it in English in order to improve my language skills and I heard that this book was very interesting and full of tangled events. At the beginning It was difficult for me to understand the essence of this story because there were plenty of unknown words and phrases. I couldn’t enjoy this book. I had to translate every unfamiliar word and it took me too long time. I couldn’t stand it. I made a decision to read without translation and try to get the essence in general. To my surprise it wasn’t so difficult and I managed to understand what was happening in this story. It was great. I enjoyed this. This book had a quite interesting plot. The main character was a young girl who got married to a widowed man, who was older and rich. The main problem for this young girl was to manage to live his huge estate in the shadow of his first dead wife. The servants of this estate didn’t accept new mistress. She couldn’t feel like a rightful owner and moreover she didn’t feel her husband's love. She was upset and unhappy but didn’t give up and continued to do her best. Soon the horrible truth was revealed. It became aware of the real death of the first wife. It turned out that it was her husband Max, who had killed her. Despite this the young wife didn’t leave him. And it was a relief for her. I liked this book because there were a lot of tangled situations and I empathized to the main character. The author showed her thoughts, feelings, emotions very clearly.

Describing my flat I live in dormitory area of Ryazan. It is a five-minute walk from the nearest bus station and a short drive from the centre where you can get by bus, car or microbus.There is a lot of shops and supermarkets but only few restaurants. I think it is a good idea because the lack of many restaurants makes this area quieter. My flat is situated on the 4th floor of a block of flats. It has a spacious living room, a bedroom with a large balcony and, a bathroom and a small but nice kitchen. The airy living room has a huge window and it is great because this window makes the room very light during a day. Near this block of flats, there is a road with a quite big traffic. That's why it is very noisy if you open windows. Also, there is a nice public garden, which is walking distance from my home. It's a beautiful place for going for a walk. The neighbours are friendly people and many of them with children and pets, but it doesn't bring any inconvenience because most of the pets are cats and it is great as I'm afraid of dogs a lot. The are almost no scandals and disputes between them. On the whole, it is a calm nice place and on a large scale there are more advantages in living there.

Describing a person Hello Stephany! Thanks for your email. Of course i can tell you about my friend Mary. She is 30 years old, lives with her family namely with her mother, stepfather, sister, sister's husband and their two children. It's quite crowdy in there house but they all are a very friendly to ech other. Mary graduated from university last summer but unfortunately she dosn't work by her profession. Because of it Mary is studying the english language in order to change her job. She is a hard-working and responsible person. She likes reading, watching films, listening to music, travelling and so on. Mary is very kind and polite but a little bit shy, that's why it's hard for her to make friends. She is not sociable and talkative person but at the same time Mary is conciliatory and deferential. I think it would be better for her to be more assertive and insistent person instead of being unassuming and meek. She should learn to give it to people straight and take them on. She must take the bull by the horns! But I still think you will like her and get on her. I hope that my letter is useful for you. Let me know if you need more information about Mary. Best wishes, Tanya.
