Ukraine is situated in the south-east of Europe. It borders on Russia, Belarus, Moldova, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland and Romania. The territory of Ukraine is 603 700 km2. The territory of Ukraine is mostly flat.

There are the Carpathian Mountains in the west and the Crimean Mountains in the south, but they are not high. The main rivers are the Dnieper, the Dniester, the Buh, the Donets and others. The Dnieper is one of the longest European rivers and one of the main sources of hydroelectric power in the country.

The coasts of the Azov Sea and the Black Sea are good for ports. We have quite a lot of big sea ports, for example, Odesa, Kherson, Mykolaiv, Izmail, Mariupol and Kerch.

The geographical position of Ukraine is very favorable because the country lies on the crossroads of the ways from Asia to Europe. Since the times of Kyivan Rus Ukrainian roads have been used for trade contacts. Due to favorable climatic conditions, Ukraine is traditionally an agricultural country.

Wheat, maize and other corns, vegetables, all kinds of fruit are grown here. The country is rich in natural resources, such as iron ore, coal, non-ferrous metals, oil, gas.

It has developed a varied industry, concentrated mostly in and around big cities, such as Kyiv, Zaporizhia, Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa, Kharkiv, Lviv, Mykolaiv and others. Ukraine produces planes and ships, lorries and buses, electronic equipment and agricultural machines, TV and radiosets and other goods.

My native city is Kharkov. I have been living here for 17 years and have a lot of recollections connected with this city. The history of Kharkov dates back to the 17th century. Nowadays it’s a large city with a population of about 1.6 million of people. In Kharkov there are a lot of places of interest, and every year the city is visited by many tourists from different countries. My favourite place is Gorky Park. There you can escape from the noise of the city streets and enjoy the freshness of air under the canopy of park trees. Gorky Park is very popular with children. There they can hire roller-skates or ride a horse, or take photos with a monkey. There are a lot of other different attractions: swing boats, merry-go rounds, dodgems, up-and-down roundabouts, a big wheel and others. Multicoloured balloons arid ice-creams are sold everywhere.

Adults meanwhile can rest in one of the cafes or go to see a movie in the «Park» cinema. For sport-fanciers there are tennis-courts, a swimming pool and a stadium.

There are lots of other sights in our city and I’m sure they are not the last to feast eyes by their beauty and magnificence. All my life is closely connected with this city. I’m happy to live here as I really love this city and I’ll never change it for any other place
