                  Why am I proud of UKRAINE?
I live in Ukraine – the most beautiful country in the world. We have a lot to be proud of.
We should be proud of our history and our historical traditions. Ukraine is a country with the glorious past.
We should be proud of our language, music, dancing. Our ancient culture is recognized all over the world.
The beauty of nature is the next thing I really like about Ukraine.
We should appreciate the heritage of our ancestors and enrich it.
We live in an independent country and should be proud that our people built its independence.
I love my country. For me it's just a deep down feeling. I can feel it inside me, it's unexplainable, but I'm sure some of you understand what I am saying.
I believe in Ukraine and most of all I believe in the ability of our people to overcome all difficulties.
As an English proverb goes "Every bird likes its own nest". Let's hope that we all will like our own "nest" and will do everything to make it the most beautiful place on earth.
