My opinion about the book «The Hound of Baskervilles» by A. Conan Doyle

This summer I have read the book “The Hound of the Baskervilles”, which was written by the famous English writer of the 19^th century Arthur Conan Doyle. It is a detective story.

I liked this book very much from the very beginning. First of all, Sherlock Holmes is one of my favourite characters. Besides, the plot of the story is extremely interesting and intricate. The action takes place in the Yorkshire moors in England. It starts with a mysterious murder of Sir Charles Baskerville in his old mansion. Although the doctor says that the cause of his death is the heart attack, he doesn’t believe it himself as a lot of traces of a gigantic hound are found on the ground around the body. So, he goes to London and asks Mr. Sherlock Holmes to investigate the case.

The book has a lot of thrilling episodes. I couldn`t help feeling nervous especially when the gigantic hound followed its prey for I was not sure that the story would have the happy end. Fortunately, Sherlock Holmes does his best as usual and the mystery of the strange murder is revealed.

To cut a long story short, the fearful hound is killed and the main character Sir Henry, the heir of the Baskervilles, is saved from the terrible death.

In conclusion, I would like to say that detectives are my favourite genre. When I read them I always try to predict the events, to draw conclusions and it helps me to develop some kind of deductive reasoning. So, if you like detectives, I advise you to read this book. I am sure you’ll get a great pleasure.

Romeo and Juliet and some other plays by Shakespeare were performed for the first time on this stage

The Best Film I Have Ever Seen (" Romeo and Juliet" )

Last Tuesday I saw the film " Romeo and Juliet" by Shakespeare. The starring was perfect. Romeo was played by Leonardo DiCaprio.

And I'll try to tell you about this film. In the town of Verona there were two rich families, the Capulets and the Montagues. There was an old quarrel between those two families. One day Capulet made a great supper. At that supper Romeo saw Juliet and fell in love with her at ones.

Juliet had the same feelings. Romeo asked Juliet to marry him. She agreed, but nobody knew about their plan. The next day Romeo and Juliet came to friar and he married them.

Some days passed and Juliet's father told her that she was to marry a young man whose name was Paris. Juliet didn't know what to do. But the friar helped her. He gave her medicine and told her to go home and be ready to marry Paris. But when she drinks that medicine she will sleep for forty — two hours.

Juliet did as the friar told her. Juliet's parents thought that she was dead and put her into the family tomb. When Romeo heard that Juliet was dead he bought some poison and went to the tomb of the Capulets. Paris was there and Romeo killed him.

Then Romeo kissed Juliet on the lips and drank his poison. At this moment Juliet woke up and saw that the young man was dead. Juliet took a dagger that was on the floor and killed herself.

Лучший фильм, который я видел (" Ромео и Джульетта" )

В прошлый вторник я смотрела фильм " Ромео и Джульетта" по Шекспиру. Игра актеров была отличной, Ромео сыграл Леонардо ДиКаприо.

Я попытаюсь рассказать об этом фильме. В городе Верона были две богатые семьи, Капулетти и Монтекки. Те две семьи были в давней ссоре. Однажды Капулетти организовал большой ужин. На этом ужине Ромео увидел Джульетту и сразу же влюбился в нее.

У Джульетты были такие же чувства. Ромео предложил Джульетте выйти за него замуж. Она согласилась, но никто не знал об их плане. На следующий день Ромео и Джульетта пришли к монаху, и он их поженил.

Прошло несколько дней, и отец Джульетты сказал, что ей нужно выйти замуж за молодого человека по имени Парис. Джульетта не знала, что делать. Но монах помог ей. Он дал ей снадобье и сказал идти домой и дать согласие выйти замуж за Париса. Но когда она выпьет снадобье, она будет спать 42 часа.

Джульетта сделала, как сказал монах. Родители Джульетты подумали, что она мертва, и положили ее в фамильный склеп. Когда Ромео узнал, что Джульетта мертва, он купил яд и пошел к склепу Капулетти. Парис был там, и Ромео убил его.

Потом Ромео поцеловал Джульетту в губы и выпил яд. В этот момент Джульетта очнулась и увидела, что молодой человек мертв. Джульетта взяла кинжал, который лежал на полу, и убила себя.
