Andy said he didn't like reading when he was a little boy. He explained that it had been boring to sit for hours with a book in his hands trying to learn what happened to the characters. He said he used to play football and basketball with his friends.

Andy had to confess that he had read very slowly. At school they were given a lot of homework, so he had lo read anyway: history and literature, biology and geography.

Andy said that some time before the situation had changed. His father had bought him his first CD book. Andy thought it was fantastic, it was like a computer game. He said turning the pages over he could see what was happening in pictures, in colors and in action. He thought it to be amazing. Andy said CD books would be much more popular with teenagers of his generation than printed books.

The family is an important value in life of each person. The family should be big and amicable, but unfortunately, presently it is a rarity. In a family there should be traditions, the holidays, the hobbies, that объеденяет a family. Each member of a family is a person. It is necessary to respect each other, to reckon with opinion each other. And the main thing – to love each other, after all without love will not be neither respect, nor understanding, support. The ideal family is that family in which it is comfortable to its any member at any moment. For me this concept means that a family safe, not financially, and in behaviour.
