Huge interest, the desire to master this beautiful language came from our school lessons and from my teachers, now I became addicted to a detailed study of the language. I am sure that the study of English language is not a waste of time.

I study English because I can use my knowledge in real life. For example, if I go to England or another country, I can say "on an equal footing" with the locals. I learn this language because I want to read English and British writers in the original, e.g., Jack London, Ernest Hemingway, Charles Dickens, Sir Walter Scott and others. There are a lot of wonderful films in this language and I am sure I`ll understand them without any help if I continue learning language.
