    This confuses me... If "musique" and "livres" have a definite article here, why "sport" doesn't?
    Du (as I wrote) = de + le, isn't it?

    And can I say here "des livres" instead of "de les livres"?

    Я-ясно. Вот, пытаюсь выбрать, по какому методу учить. Поставить на себе эксперимент, или начать с Казаковой, по старинке.

    Мне, честно говоря, на данном этапе важно просто этот учебник быстренько пройти и забыть про него.
    Он довольно толстый, так что какую-никакую базу он даст, а мне пока ничего, кроме базы, особо и не надо...

    Actually I didn't see this one. Sorry!
    The correct sentence is "Les amis parlent de sport, de musique et de livres.".

    Ah! So it is just no need to use definite articles here?

    No, because it's about sport, music and books in general. You can use definite articles here but you would have to modify the sentence. For instance... "Les amis parlent du (de+le) sport qu'ils pratiquent, de la musique qu'ils

    I meant the English variant of the Russian sentence (in exercise).

    Yes, I understand. There is no need an article. But is this incorrect too:
    Sa soeur est actrice. Sa soeur est une bonne actrice. <-- Is the second sentence incorrect?

    Or maybe it concerns only the sentences with pronouns?
