My favourite writer

As I study English I try to read as many stories by English writers as possible. The names of English writers and poets such as W. Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie and many others are well-known to educated people all over the world. When I think about English writers the first name that comes to my mind is that of Charles Dickens. He was born in 1812 in Portsmouth; he was the second of eight children in the family.
