Перевод:
Спорт очень важен для нас в жизни.  Когда люди занимаются спортом, они становятся здоровыми и чувствуют себя хорошо. И я думаю, что каждому требуется спорт.

Для меня спорт очень важен тоже.  Иногда, после долгого  проведения времени за партой в школе,  я чувствую, что очень хочу заняться чем- либо активным:  станцевать, поиграть в баскетбол ну или просто пробежаться. Поэтому я всегда счастлива, когда  уроки физической культуры проходят в бассейне.

Я очень люблю плавать, и это мое хобби.  Я плаваю с четырех лет.  Сначала я плавала в озере в  нашей деревне,  но потом, когда мы переехали в город, я стала посещать бассейн. Сейчас я умею плавать очень хорошо.  Я  люблю нырять и плавать под водой.  Я стараюсь посещать бассейн каждую неделю, потому что плавание укрепляет здоровье.  И если у вас проблемы со спиной, то плавание может с этим тоже.
Другое мое хобби — это катание на лыжах, и для меня это очень интересно. Я часто катаюсь на лыжах зимой.  Мы с семьей идем кататься на лыжах в лес и берем с собой бутерброды и термос. После долгой проездки мы разжигаем костер, чтобы согреться, и я чувствую себя  счастливо.

Sport is very important in our life. When people go in for sport, they become healthy and feel good. And I think that everyone needs sport.

  For me sport is very important too. Sometimes, after sitting the whole day at the desk at school, I feel   that I want to do some activities: to dance, to play basketball, or just to run. That’s why I am always happy when we have PT classes in the swimming pool.

 I like swimming very much, and swimming is my hobby. I have been swimming since I was four years old. At first I swam in the lake in our village, but then, when we moved to the city, I started going to the swimming pool. Now I can swim very well. I like to dive and to swim under the water. I try to go to the swimming pool every week because swimming improves my health. And if you have back pains, swimming can help you with it too.

Kyiv is the city with a history that spans more than a millennium. It is one of the most picturesque cities in the world. Green streets fully harmonize with impressive architecture.

During the reign of Prince Volodymyr the Great, the first stone church in Ukraine was built. The Golden Gate, built in the 11th century, was the primary entrance to the fortress. It was very famous in Eastern Europe. It  was restored in 1989.

St Sophia’s Cathedral is located not far from the Golden Gate. It faces a square, in the centre of which there is a monument to Bohdan Khmelnytsky, the Hetman of the Ukrainian Cossacks.

St Sophia’s Cathedral was often used to receive foreign ambassadors and sign treaties in the past.
