You can choose everything in this world, my son,

But motherland сan't be chosen "

V. Symonenko

 

If someone asked me why do i love Ukraine, i could answer with a huge

list of reasons, however, do we actually need the reasons to love our

homeland? The place, where we made our first

steps, where our first

memories appeared? As every child loves his mother, the same way every

person has to love his motherland. Ukraine - is an amazing place,

which can boast of euphonious language, breathtaking places,

hospitable people and great achievments. Moreover, I'm proud of the

history of my nation, of my country, as our people have been fighting

for the Ukrainian language, culture and literature from time

immemorial.

 

You won't be surprised to know, that Ukraine is famous for its

numerous writers and poets. Reading the Ukrainian literature, you can

plunge into the atmosphere of the past, become a witness of wars,

love, friendships and feud. For example, my favourite writer is Ivan

Franko, who wrote hundreds of poems, fairy-tales and critism to some

compositions. He raised thousands of themes, and thus touched the

heart of every reader. With the Ukrainian books you will cry and

laugh; that's why, i love our literature.

 

Nevertheless Ukraine is an amazing place to live, a lot of people

leave it with a thought, that the life in other countries is better.

However, it's not true. We are the one who create life. Ukraine is

quite a young contry and its fate is in our hands. People shouldn't

forget, that the native land always gives us warmth and familiar

language, which reminds us of maternal lullaby.

 

 Every city is a small part of huge masterpiece; a little piece of

glass from a great mosaic; one note of a symphony. My city Nikolaev is

a little piece of a ukrainian family. It's situated in the south,

which means that at summertime we can go to the seaside and spend warm

summer evenings on the beach, which means that we are famous for our

ship buliding, our wonderful zoo. Of course, this city is quite small,

but it became a cozy place for me, and i'm sure, that wherever I went,

I will always remember this place.

 

 "Our country is that spot to which our heart is bound. "
