Daniel, I’m choosing a book for my English teacher in Russia. Can you help me to choose a thrilling contemporary novel?— Of course I can! What kind of books does your teacher like reading?— Oh, she adores reading and she enjoys different genres. As far asI know she likes classics, detectives, teenage fiction, fantasy ... anything as long as it is good.— Who are her favourite authors?— Her personal favourite is Roald Dahl. She has read a lot of hisbooks and encouraged us to read them, too.— Have you read the books by Roald Dahl?— Yes, I have. I enjoyed reading Matilda and Charlie and the Choco-late Factory. They are descriptive, funny and full of surprises.— What other books is she interested in?— She is interested in contemporary teenage fiction. Who are the most popular teenage writers in England?— I think they are Joanne Rowling, Philip Pullman, Anthony Horowitz and Jacqueline Wilson.— OK. Which books of these authors would you recommend reading? Why? — Philip Pullman’s Lyra’s Oxford. This is a wonderful new book from Philip Pullman’s bestselling trilogy, His Dark Materials. Hisnovels are so much better than other modern books. I think they willalways be classics.
