MY MOTHERLAND

Mareus Cicero said “There is no place more delightful then home”.

I live in Donbas, an inseparable part of Ukraine, which is well-known for industrial enterprises and coal mines. My city isn’t very big, but it has a breathtaking scenery and great history. In the twentieth century the factories of Kostiantynivka supplied the whole country with glass goods and gland. Furthermore, our city is surrounded with beautiful and amazing nature of hills, parks, mountains. Most of all I like to walk on foot and find out some new places that were created by nature and man’s hand hasn’t destroyed or spoilt them.

I was born here, grew up and was formed as a citizen of Ukraine. From the childhood my parents brought me up to be a real patriot of my Motherland. The burning problem now is peace and stability in our country and in my region as it is war in Ukraine now. Our country’s proposals and initiatives point to realistic ways of maintaining world peace. In spite of this fact, I worry about the future of my state. My country is like a bleeding heart, and I am eager military actions to be stopped because any war means tears, sufferings and death. Our Motherland is like a castle for which we have to struggle and take care of.

Why is Ukraine so important for me? My native land is important for me because it is so wonderful, picturesque, incredibly loved by me. Kleban Byk is worthy of seeing with your own eyes. It is a nature reserve where you have opportunities to breathe the fresh air, to acquaint with the wildlife of the steppe and watch the birds, boars, foxes, wolves and other types of animals.

I cannot but mention the people of my country. Every citizen of our country has indeed all reasons to be proud: proud of its past and present history that reflects the glory of Cossacks, peasants and the working people. However, the present and future generations should make great efforts to overcome the problems of independence, unity and welfare.

The climate of Ukraine is moderate that is why our soil is favorable for agriculture. To tell the truth, we are lucky to have our own resorts where it is possible to have a rest and to obtain more positive emotions. In the south the coasts of our state are washed with the seas: the Azov Sea and the Black Sea. In addition to this the western part of Ukraine is famous for thick forests in the Carpathians.

In fact, Donetsk and the surrounding city region is a land of developed industry including metallurgy, chemistry, coal mines. It is fully covered with slagheaps that seem to be real mountains, which create a mountain range.

I cannot but admire our talented Ukrainian people! Actually, there are a lot of renowned people who have famed our Motherland. For instance, Arhip Kuindzhi- a famous artist, Sergei Prokofiev- a composer, Sergei Bubka – the only champion of the world in jumping with a pole in height, Vadim Pisarev- a dancer and Volodymyr Sosyura the famous Ukrainian poet.

I wish my country to flourish, to be independent and to have decent standards of living. I will do my best to make contribution into a peaceful development of my Motherland. I am sure all my dreams come true!
