Kiev – one of the oldest cities of Ukraine. It is the capital of my homeland. The exact date of its Foundation is unknown, however, according to archaeologists, he appeared in the 6-7 century ad. According to ancient legend, the ego is founded by three brothers - Kyi, Schek and Horeb and their sister Lybid. Kyiv became the cradle from which emerged a powerful state Kyivska Rus.
In ancient times it was ruled by great princes, of the things which still affect our lives. This Vladimir the Great, baptized the Rus and Yaroslav the Wise, who United and strengthened the government and the Vladimir Monomakh, known for his wisdom and foresight. Kiev flourished and spread, took pride of place on the map of medieval Europe. Develop education and services, music and theater. Many famous Ukrainian figures of culture and literature have lived and worked in this city.
However, it happened and hard times. Kiev was repeatedly burned and looted. Many wars and Smoot moved his strong walls. Destroyed priceless relics and monuments of the past. But Kiev is not lost for many centuries its beauty. How many monuments of culture and history has survived to the present day. The ancient city is still pleasing to us glittering in the sun domes of churches and monasteries, the variety of lush palaces and estates. Walk through the ancient streets reminiscent of times past and historical events.
After my hard and busy school year my summer holidays began. I felt happy when hard and busy school year finished and summer holidays began. I started to plan a lot of wonderful things to do during my summer vocation.
I was dreaming about visiting far south countries I always wanted to visit. For example, I dreamed to visit, Greece islands or Spanish beaches.
But it's only dreams. I did nothing for the whole day. My summer holidays reminded me of my cat. Because I only did something that I ate, drank, slept and usually spent my time on the Internet. I can say that this is the worst summer in my life. And so I came to school and my suffering began again
I think summer is the best season of all because it is warm, the nature is beautiful and we have great opportunities for rest. Summer is a time of holidays. We can go anywhere, spend our time near a river or a lake on fresh, green grass, swim in warm water, or climb mountains, play different games, ride a bicycle and so on.
I spend my summer holidays at my granny’s. There are many things there to do. What I did most of the time - I swam in the sea and sunbathed. Sometimes I made a fire with my friends at the seaside and cooked potatoes there. It was wonderful. We told anecdotes to each other, and did everything we wanted. I also got used to walk alone in the forest.
When August was coming to its end, I went on a small voyage by ship. The ship name was “Sevastopol”.
