Dnipro is the leading business, industrial, scientific and cultural center of Southeastern Ukraine.
I really like the city, it is very beautiful, cozy and diverse with museums, fountains, very beautiful churches, theaters, parks and playgrounds. For example: Bridge City, Passage, Caravan, Our Truth, Babylon and many more. The history of Dnepropetrovsk is very rich. From time immemorial, the area where Dnepropetrovsk is now located has had ancient settlements since the Paleolithic times. After the formation of Zaporizhzhya Sich in the XVI century, these lands became actively populated, here began to appear villages, farms and cities. The most famous city of the first half of the 16th century was the city of Samar, the old name of Samar, which was located on the outskirts of the present village of Shevchenko at the mouth of the Samara River. Later, the Cossacks built the new town of Novy Kaydak, and where Samar used to be, in 1688 built the Bogorodetsky Fortress. In 1775, the Zaporozhye Cossacks were liquidated and its territory divided between the two provinces of Azov and Novorossiysk. In 1776 Catherine the Second founded the center of the Azov province, which was called Ekaterinoslav. The new town on the River Kilchen did not last long, in terms of geology it was a bad location. Only in 1784, on January 22, the second Katerynoslav was founded near the Dnieper River, it was originally planned that the city would become the "Third Capital of Russia". During the visit of Catherine, in May 1787, the city officially became known as Catherine. However, the location of the new city was also unsuccessful, with difficulties in water supply, so the city center moved west down to the Dnieper River, where the Cossack settlement of Polovitsa lived. In 1790 the city acquired its original location, and to this day it is the center of Dnepropetrovsk. Today our city is undergoing a revival. After a number of renovations, the old buildings were renovated, the city center is gradually becoming a new metropolis, and new airlines have opened, connecting the city with the world. Dnipropetrovsk is famous not only for its architecture and industry, but also as a center for new technologies and scientific thought. Noisy narrow streets, beautiful wide avenues, parks. Dnepropetrovsk is unique in its picturesque promenades and bridges. In the center of the city is the Taras Shevchenko Drama Theater, it was founded in 1919 as the first national theater in Ukraine. Like the Shevchenko Theater, the Gorky Theater has a history. In 1927, this theater first found its audience, and in 1932 the Dnipropetrovsk Russian Drama Theater was named after Maxim Gorky. The Opera and Ballet Theater was founded in 1931, in 1941 it was evacuated to Krasnoyarsk. After the war, the theater officially ceased operations, but was revived in 1974, December 26, 1974 - the first season opened. There is also a children's theater in the city, a one-act "Creek" theater. Going back to the history of the city, you can learn a lot by visiting the Jawornytsky Historical Museum. Dmytro Yavornytsky has collected thousands of unique exhibits and objects of the old life of the Zaporozhye Cossacks, from weapons to embroideries and dresses of that time. The museum can tell about the life of Zaporozhye Cossacks and Zaporozhye Sich.
Let’s try to imagine the world without education, without any schools, colleges and universities. What would that be like? No school means no knowledge and skills. No university means no doctors, no engineers and no scientists. Therefore, it means no development and no inventions. Would you like to live in the world that is deteriorating? The answer is quite obvious: it’s vitally important to study and get an education.
Nowadays there’re different kinds of education, but the most wide-spread is still the traditional one that includes the set of establishments providing education. For the vast majority of people, the first step is a primary school where students get the basic skills of reading, writing and counting. The next stage is secondary school which gives broad knowledge about various subjects and prepares students for future professional education. At the end of the last form school children take exams and after school graduation they have several options: to stop studying and get a job or get professional education in college or university. Students’ life is not easy because they have to take exams every term and study hard to succeed. Nevertheless, most people remember students’ years as the best time of their lives, full of fun and entertainment.
However, modern world is full of new opportunities to get education. More and more schools and universities provide on-line courses and trainings. It has some advantages for sure, because you study in a comfortable place at comfortable time. Also, some alternative ways are becoming more and more popular, e.g. home education or some approaches connected with developing the mind without books and strict systems.
As for me, I’m fully convinced that, no matter what kind of education you support, it’s necessary to study and develop your skills, to use the experience of others to create your own ideas in order to implement them to life.
