Dear Natasha,

I have recently moved to Kiev, the capital of Ukraine. Kiev is a very beautiful city. I like its lanes and streets lined with chestnut trees. The capital is famous for its architectural structures such as St. Andrew's Cathedral, Kiev Pechersk Lavra, Khreshchatyk Square and many others. The city stands on the river Dnieper and about 3 million people live in the city. It is included on the list of 10 largest cities of Europe. Kiev is one of the oldest cities in the world. It's more than 2500 years old. Forests, parks and gardens occupy more than half of the territory of the city. Kiev is often called the city in the park. There are lots of theatres, museums and other landmarks in Kiev. I recommend you to visit this wonderful city. That's all for now.

Take care and keep in touch.

Best wishes,

Oksana

Дорогая Наташа,

Недавно я переехала в Киев, столицу Украины. Киев-очень красивый город. Мне нравятся его переулки и улицы, обсаженные каштанами. Столица славится своими архитектурными сооружениями, такими как Андреевский собор, Киево-Печерская Лавра, площадь Крещатик и многими другими. Город стоит на реке Днепр и в городе проживает около 3 миллионов человек. Он входит в список 10 крупнейших городов Европы. Киев - один из старейших городов мира. Ему более 2.500 лет. Леса, парки и сады занимают более половины территории города. Киев часто называют городом в парке. В Киеве много театров, музеев и других достопримечательностей. Рекомендую тебе посетить этот замечательный город. Пока все.

Будь здорова, береги себя, пиши.

Всего доброго,

Оксана
