Корoткий опис:  romaIvanychuk
I like reading and I can tell about
such wellknown writers as Lessya
Ukrainka, Taras Shevchenko, Ivan
Franko, Mykhailo Kotsiubynskyi.

But these writers belong to the
previous century.
They made a great contribution to the
development of our national literature.
And the names of modern writers are
not so wellknown as they should be.
The reason of this is that not so long
ago the Ukrainian literature was far
from being popular.
Such names as Lina Kostenko, Oles
Honchar, Valentyn Chemerys, Vasyl
Symonenko, Ivan Druch, Borys
Oliynyc and others were forgotten.
Nowadays much is done for us to
know them and like their works.

But I want to tell you about the work of
Oles Honchar.
This author can justly be called the
conscience of Ukraine.
In his works such problems as the
good and the evil, the honour and the
dishonour, the love and the hate were

His book “Praporonostsi” was one
of the first true stories about the

Корoткий опис:  Outstanding People of
Ukraine
In the history of humanity there have
always been people whose actions
and ideas produced a great impact on
the lives of other people.
They have made a great contribution
to the science, culture, social life of
this country.
That’s why they are called
outstanding.
The names of Taras Shevchenko,
Lessya Ukrainka, Ivan Franko, Marko
Vovchok and Hrygoriy Skovoroda won
universal recognition.
There’s hardly a country in the
world which doesn’t have Taras
Shevchenko’s poems translated into
its language.

Корoткий опис:  Sports in Great Britain
Sport plays such an important part
in British life that many idioms in the
English language have come from the
world of sport.
For example, “to play the game”
means “to be fair”, and “that’s not
cricket” means “that’s not fair”.

Спорт у Великобританії
Спорт відіграє таку велику роль
у житті британців, що багато стійких

If you want to be healthy, strong and
beautiful you should go in for sports.

Nobody likes to be stout and clumsy.
We enjoy watching nice bodies
of sportsmen, their strength and
adroitness.

When I go in for sports I feel wonderful.

I don’t sneeze or cough.
I am cheerful, active and full of energy.

In summer I go in for swimming or
rowing.
I enjoy spending winter holidays in the
country.

From time to time competitions are
