Text A

Sherlock Holmes is a popular detective, the main character of fifty-five detective stories by Conan Doyle, the famous English Writer (1859-1930).

In these stories, Sherlock Holmes is a consulting non-government detective. He was able to find a murder when government detectives, the police of Scotland Yard, were unable to do that. He had good knowledge of the history of crime, criminalities and criminology. He was especially good at chemistry and soil identification. However, his knowledge of anatomy and medicine was unsystematic.

Besides, he was a good violinist and a very good boxer. It was his hobby. Usually he was full of energy but sometimes he was strangely weak. He was a

man with a sharp eye. He was a doctor and an artist at the same time. His motto was to observe properly and make a correct conclusion. He was always ready to help people.
