Answer 1

Ответ:

1). Of course, books always come first for me! Whether it's a living classic, such as Denis Fonvizin's comedy "Undergrowth", or a novel of the modern writer Vladimir Nabokov named "Lolita" - for me, the book should always be read first, and after that you can watch its film adaptation or staging in the theater.

2). The most recent novel I read was Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev's Fathers and Sons. A wonderful, timeless work. When I read the ending, when Bazarov died, I cried at the place where the author described the swaying ears of grass on the grave of the hero.

3). Usually I read a brief epilogue to the book itself, its description written by the author on the back flyleaf, nothing more - I don’t watch ads and don’t read brief summaries before reading the book in full.

4). To be honest, I'm the least interested in comics from literature, I prefer to read something more serious, but, as far as I know, there is a magazine "Murzilka" from the times of the USSR.

5). The most common books of scientific content for me are school textbooks. Sometimes I can read additional literature, but also the curriculum. It can be, for example, a textbook of musical harmony, chords and composition of works, as well as a philological guide to writing poetry. In addition, I often read articles by literary critics of the 19th century, such as Dobrolyubov or Chernyshevsky. I can also read an excerpt from my teachers' Ph.D. thesis, or just scientific articles from specialized sites on a wide variety of topics that interest me.

6). As far as I know, such books as "Harry Potter" by the writer JK Rowling, "Numbers. Time to Run" by the author Rachel Ward, "Metro 2033" / "Metro 2034" by the writer Dmitry Glukhovsky have continued.

И ПОСЛЕДНЕЕ:

Author - Alexander Pushkin. We are talking about a young man and his tutor, who were besieged by the rebel army. This work is called both a story and a novel, albeit a small one.

Answer 2

1. I prefer to watch films rather than read books because I find that visual storytelling can be more engaging and immersive for me. I enjoy being able to see the characters and settings come to life on screen.

2. The last novel that I read was "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It is a classic American novel that explores themes of wealth, love, and the American Dream.

3. Yes, I usually read the blurb before buying a book. It gives me a brief overview of the plot and helps me decide if the book is something I would be interested in reading.

4. In my country, there are various comic book series available, such as "Astérix and Obélix," "Tintin," and "Lucky Luke." These comic books have gained popularity among both children and adults.

5. I enjoy reading non-fiction books on a wide range of topics, including history, psychology, and science. Some of my favorite non-fiction books are "Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind" by Yuval Noah Harari, "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg, and "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" by Rebecca Skloot.

6. Three books or films that have a sequel are "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets," "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," and "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers." These sequels continue the storylines of their respective series and further develop the characters and plots.

The three sentences about a book I like are: 1. It's a thrilling mystery novel set in a small town. 2. The main character is a detective who must solve a series of murders. 3. The book keeps you guessing until the very end.

Can you guess the book?
