27. Read the text and describe the library:
At the Library
Lena Stogova likes to read interesting books. She very often
goes to the library to read books there or to take out a book
to read at home.
When you go into the children's library, you first see a
large room with shelves on all the walls, and all the shelves are
full of books. There are picture books with pictures and stories
for small boys and girls.
For older children there are novels, poems, plays, books on
history, geography and the arts. Books on history and geography
are very popular.
Lena likes books on literature very much. Russian and So-
viet writers interest her most of all. She often takes out works
by Pushkin, Lermontov, Tolstoy, Chekhov, Gorky and others.
She likes Pushkin's poems, but she reads Mayakovsky's
poems too.
There is a table in the room at which the librarian sits.
She gives out and takes back books. Many boys and girls are
standing in front of the table. They are bringing back the books
they have read and taking out the books they have chosen.
Lena sees Kolya, a boy from her form. He is bringing back
a book about the Great October Socialist Revolution.
On the right of the big room is the reading-room, where
there are tables and chairs. Near the wall there is a stand with
newspapers and magazines. Many boys and girls are reading
books, magazines or newspapers.
On one side of the reading-room there is a stand "Lenin Is
Always with Us". In the middle of the stand there is a large
portrait of Lenin and around it there are pictures and texts
which tell the schoolchildren about his life and his work for
the October Revolution and for building Socialism in the USSR.
Doing Things Together
Schoolchildren not only learn together. They do many other
things after lessons. They hold Young Pioneer meetings, pre-
pare wall newspapers, go to the cinema or the theatre and they
work together on the school plot or in the fields.
Doing interesting things together helps friendship and you
learn to help each other when there is something difficult.
Today Misha Popov and three other classmates have gath-
ered to prepare their form's new wall newspaper.
"What are we going to write in it?" asked Vasya Belov.
"Well," answered Misha. "This is not a holiday newspaper.
We shall write about school life and what Young Pioneer sec-
tions do."
"I told some boys and girls to write for our newspaper,"
said Valery Nikonov, "and here is what I have collected.”
"Read what they have written," said Liza Prokhorova.
"We shall discuss what is good for our newspaper articles."
One of the classmates wrote how Young Pioneers helped each
other with difficult homework. A girl of the Third Section wrote
