MY MEDIA INVENTORY

1) BOOKS.Books are my friends. When I was a child my parents read stories to me. My favourite ones were "Malikmammed" , "Red Riding Hood". These stories are very popular among children. Then I began to read myself. By reading books I get a lot of information on many subjects. Reading books helps me to learn, think, feel and make my speech more elequent. Most of all I'm fond of reading adventure books, detective stories and historical novels. All the members of my family love books. We have a splendid library at my home. It includes the books in Azeri language, such as Nizami, Nasimi, Fizuli; in Russian language, L.Tolstoy, A.Pushkin; in English language M.Twain, J.London, A.Christie, W.Shakespeare. I prefer books by Nizami, Fizuli, J.London, A.Christie, M.Twain. These are some names in Azerbaijan and foreign literature that are very dear to me. I have read "Khamsa" by Nizami, "Leyli and Mejnun" by Fizuli, "The Mousetrap" by A.Christie, "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" by M.Twain. By the way I enjoy reading this book. In modern Azerbaijan literature I value C.Abdullayev. He is known as a detective writer. I have read some novels by him. At present I am reading one of his famous novel "Blue Angels". It is a dedective novel.

Everytime I buy its edition. I always follow automobile news and my favourite magazine is "Auto Bild". It is published once a month. I have a big collection of "Auto Bild" at home. With the help of these magazines I know much about cars. If you ask I'll ready to answer all your questions about cars.
