4. Vanya visited Chekhov’s house in Melihovo. Read the letter, which he wrote to Emily, and say what hobby Anton Chekhov had.
Hi, Emily! Yesterday I had an excursion to the village Melikhovo with my class. Melikhovo is situated in Moscow Region about 70 kilometers to the south of Moscow. It's famous because of Chekhov's house. I’m afraid I didn't have enough time to take pictures, so I am sending you only one. The excursion was fantastic. We were told about the writer's childhood, his life in Moscow and in Melikhovo. Chekhov was born on the 17th of January 1860 in Taganrog where he spent his childhood. In his free time he went fishing with his brothers. He was interested in reading, music and theatre. In 1879 he came to Moscow to study at Moscow University. Chekhov was a doctor by profession but he became a famous writer. In 1892, at the age of 32, he bought the house in Melikhovo and lived there for 8 years. He wrote stories there and in his free time he grew different plants which helped him cure people. Growing medicinal herbs was his hobby. People came to him when they were ill and he helped them for free. Chekhov opened the first school in the village and taught people how to take care of their health. We visited the house where the writer and his family lived, saw the way people spent their time in the 19th century. I am sending you a leaflet about the museum, have a look, it's very interesting. Best wishes, Vanya
