1) Hello Jack! 2) I’d like to invite you to

my native city Kyiv to spend a week or two

during these summer holidays. 3) You know

that Kyiv is the capital of Ukraine, but you

can’t imagine how beautiful this city is!

4) Kyiv is located on the banks of the river

Dnipro. 5) It is an ancient city and according

to a legend it was founded by the eldest

of the three brothers, Kyi, in the fifth century.

6) Under the rule of Yaroslav the Wise

Kyivan Rus with Kyiv as its capital reached

the height of its power. 7) Kyiv has survived

throughout the centuries in spite of wars and

other disasters. 8) It has played an important

role in the development of the medieval East

Slavic civilization as well as in the modern

Ukrainian nation. 9) Modern Kyiv is a mix

of the old and the new. 10) Nowadays Kyiv

is a large political, industrial, cultural and

scientific centre. 11) But I love Kyiv not for

its historical and political importance, but

for its green parks and gardens, beautiful

buildings, gorgeous monuments and other

landmarks. 12) When you come to my place,

I’ll take you to Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra. 13) It

is a unique cave monastery complex, full

of mystery and charm. 14) We’ll also visit

St Sophia’s Cathedral, which is in the heart

of the city. 15) Here guides will tell you about

Yaroslav the Wise and his role in the history

of our country. 16) And of course you’ll

enjoy the walk around Independence Square

and along Khreshchatyk, the main street of

our capital. 17) Khreshchatyk is lined with

chestnuts — the trees which are the symbol of

Kyiv. 18) In summer Khreshchatyk becomes

a large outdoor party place with lots of cafés, 59

clubs and restaurants. 19) You can’t miss

the opportunity to visit Andriyivskyi Uzviz,

either, which is one of the best-known historic

streets and a major tourist attraction.

20) The best way to travel around Kyiv is by

underground. 21) The underground in our

city is very deep, nice and clean and this is

the fastest way of getting about. 22) And it

is better to walk around the city centre to

enjoy the architecture and not to miss any

monument or a museum. 23) I’m sure you’ll

be delighted by our charming capital and will

have a great wish to come here again.
