       The book is like a garden carried in the pocket. The previous year our teacher suggested us reading and discussing short novels by O.Henry. It was also the way to check our English skills and just to plunge into the atmosphere of New York and its ordinary people, sellers, boarders, artists, idlers and reporters of the 20th century. Firstly, reading the original stories helps me to increase my vocabulary with new words. That is really important in studying language, as I can see which  words are wide-spread and commonly used. The books can help me to improve my knowledge of the grammar rules, for example Reported Speech and Passive Voice. Last, but not the least fact is that  it develops my  knowledge, gives me ideas

and brings me the pleasure.

          To cap it all, studying English can be interesting and breathtaking! I managed  to find the way to study  it and get a delight ;).
