Лексика
MY FAVOURITE WRITER
Arthur Conan Doyle
I love reading English classical literature. But I am especially fond of English detective and adventure stories. I like Agatha Chriestie’a books but my favourite author is Arthur Conan Doyle. I like him because his fiction is very realistic and helps to develop one’s thinking and knowledge.
Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Scotland in the family of Irish. He was a doctor. In 1882 he moved from Scotland to England to set up a practice. His medical knowledge was a great help to him in his detective stories.
Conan Doyle was one of the first writers who started the fashion of detective story. Toay the fashion goes on with the stories of other writers.
Conan Doyle created his famous character, Sherlock Holmes, in 1885. Six years later, when Conan Doyle wrote some stories about the detective, the name of Sherlock Holmes became the name that everybody knew. Sherlock Holmes first appeared in a book called “Study in Scarlet”(Этюд в багровых тонах). “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes” made him famous all over the world.
Conan Doyle was a famous writer. He became popular because of his love for people.
