A. S. Pushkin is the greatest Russian poet. But I hope no one is challenging the view that he occupies an outstanding place in Russian literature and culture.

Every summer in June, thousands of people visit the Pskov land. They come here to the village of Mikhailovskoye to the wonderful festival of poetry, to see the places where he lived and worked.

Pushkin is always alive for us, he is the man we all know and love, the greatest of poets. Generations come and go, but Pushkin still remains. We are all grateful to Pushkin for each line of his works. Pushkin is not only a great poet for us. He is the perfect man combining brilliant talent with civil courage. His name is associated with our love for the Motherland, and the best in our life.

Hundreds of new concepts, hundreds of new words have appeared in the language in the years that have passed since his death, but not a single word of his poetry has become obsolete. Everything written by Pushkin continues to live. It has not become something of the past, it does not need any corrections and hardly needs commentary. His feelings and his views still correspond to our own feelings and views.

We admire the great world of Pushkin's poetry as a whole, each of us finding some special lines for ourselves, lines showing his sympathy and respect for his people. The reader cannot imagine his inner world without him.

I admire a famous actor. His name is johnny Depp, he is an American actor. He was born June 9, 1963, in America, the state of Kentucky, at the age of 53 years. He is tall, with brown eyes and black hair. At age 20 he met famous actor Nicolas cage. Cage persuaded Depp to participate in the audition for the role in the movie "a Nightmare on elm street", which was the first acting job. His first nomination for "Golden globe" Depp received for his starring role in the movie " Edward Scissorhands." Johnny Depp has his own star on the Alley of fame in Hollywood. In 2004 for the role of Captain Jack Sparrow in "pirates of the Caribbean: the Curse of the black pearl" Depp was nominated for the award "Oscar". He starred in many different genres such as Comedy, romance, blockbuster, etc. He was thrice nominated for "Oscar" and eight times for a Golden globe. I admire him because he is a great actor who can play any role, any hero with it's features and original character. Today it is one of the most popular actors and all that he earned
