Dear Russian friend,

My name is Greg Phelps. I am 45, my daughter Susan is 16. I work as a journalist in our local newspaper. I’m your English teacher’s pen friend. She wrote me about the theme of your lesson.

I think reading plays very important role in our life. Besides that my editor asked me to write an article “What Russian teenagers prefer to read”. I think it is the best chance for me to find out everything about reading in your country. Please, write in your letter to me about the role of reading in your life, about your favourite writer and your favourite book.

As for me, my favourite author is William Shakespeare, the most famous British playwright in history. Shakespeare was born in 1564. Families were big in those days so William had seven brothers and sisters. At the age of 21he moved to London and became an actor and a playwright. In 1592 he wrote his first play. After that, his plays became popular very quickly.

He wrote thirty-nine plays. Most of all I like “ A Midsummer Night’s Dream” , “ Comedy of Errors” , “ Hamlet”, “Romeo and Julliet” . “Romeo and Julliet” is my favourite one. And what about you?

Write soon,

Greg Phelps
