Some people believe that teenagers do not read newspapers or magazines nowadays, but this point of view is only partially true: there are teenagers who love reading in general and who read magazines.

My favourite magazine is "Vokrug Sveta" ("Around the World"). It is quite a popular Russian geographic magazine. I also know that it is one of the oldest popular science magazines in the world.

There are always a lot of interesting articles there. They are about travel, animals, medicine, astronomy, different countries and their culture and history. I have often used these materials for my school reports. Besides, the magazine has lots of colourful pictures, so reading it is really like going on a trip in space and time.

I think I will always read this magazine as long as it is published. I will never get bored with it.
