When you return home after a hard day's work and get off the subway train, you sometimes have to walk for a long time to the exit or change trains. Suddenly, there is some music in the noise. These are street musicians. You take a coin out of your pocket and drop it into your hat or tool case. These musicians bring color and life to the city streets. Street musicians are people between the ages of 17 and 30. Some of them are men, some are women. They play classical music, pop or folk music, old and new songs. Many musicians are former University students or professional musicians. Andrew Hayne, for example, once studied music, but dropped out and became an artist. Now he's playing underground because he doesn't want to forget how to play. His girlfriend is also an artist. She helps him raise money. Another street musician, David Mcnell, tells new players “ " Learn new songs all the time, otherwise you will have fewer and fewer listeners. Wear bright clothing to attract attention. Make sure that the places where you decide to play are warm. The best places are bridges and, of course, the metro.” Hyde Park is the best place on Sundays, as speakers address the public. Street musicians do business with the many tourists who visit the Park. Weather is one of the most serious problems. It's not easy to play the violin or guitar on a rainy November day in London and try to smile. The police are a much worse problem. They come in from time to time and the musicians are moved to another place. However, they are not often fined. One musician told me: "The policeman asked me what I was doing. I said I was just practicing. Some money just fell out of my pocket into a guitar case and I was told to leave my seat. I don't think it's fair
My Favourite Writer (M. Lermontov)
One of Russia's most celebrated poets of all times, Michael Lermontov was born in Moscow in the family of a nobleman. He spent his childhood and youth in Tarckany, in the province of Penza.
In 1830 Lermontov entered the Moscow University, but very soon he had to leave it. Then he entered St. Petersburg School of Cavalry Cadets. He finished it and served in the Hussar Regiment of the Imperial Guard.
In 1837 the poet was exiled to the Caucasus for his poem "Poets Death". In 1840 Lermontov was exiled to the Caucasus for the second time. He was provoked into personal quarrel with his schoolmate. The quarrel led to a duel. On July 15th, 1841 the poet was killed. He was not even 27 at that time.
Lermontov began writing when he was very young. One of his first writings to be published was his verse tale "Hadji Arbek".
But he won fame as a poet after his poem "Poets Death" was published. Lermontov's poems "Demon" "Mtsyri" his great novel "A Hero of Our Time" and his play "Masquerade" are masterpieces of Russian literature.
Whether he wrote poetry, drama or prose, the stamp of his genius was to be found on his works. Lermontov's influence as of a poet and a thinker on all Russian writes can't be overestimated.
