Dear Helen,
I hope you are fine. Thank you very much for you letter. It was great to hear from you. I am really sorry I haven’t answered earlier. I was busy preparing for my exams. You asked me what books I like to read.
Well, I have to confess, I prefer short stories of the greatest writers of all times. Recently, I have read a wonderful story "Eyeglasses". The story was written by Michael Osorgin. He is a well-known modern Russian writer.
In this story, the author claims that all things are alive! We often lose something and think that it is our fault, but the main character believes that things are alive and can leave us themselves.
The story is about the glasses which the main character had lost, but he found them a few days later. Although, in general, the story is serious, while reading this story I could not help smiling.
Write soon and tell me about the books and magazines you like to read. Do you like short stories? Who is your favourite writer? What book have you read recently?
Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
Best wishes,
Nikita
