I can’t say exactly which is most important in learning a language: listening, reading, grammar, vocabulary or pronunciation. I think that all these aspects are very important for successful communication. I like all activities but most of all I prefer reading. Reading is easier for me than speaking or listening. If I don’t know any word in the book, I can always look it up in the dictionary. What is more, when I read English books, I learn lots of new words. I don’t have lots of opportunities to communicate with native speakers so reading is the best way to learn the language. Besides, I like watching English films. But in my opinion, the best way of learning a language is to practise a lot. Unfortunately I have not an opportunity to go to an English-speaking country and talk to native speakers. In my opinion, it’s the best way to enlarge my vocabulary, to improve my grammar and pronunciation and to train my speaking and listening skills. That’s why I’d like to go to Great Britain and take a course at an English school. It's my dream.
Ukrainian cuisine is diverse and unique. It has a rich history and is very popular in Slavic countries. There are a lot of tasty dishes in Ukrainian cuisine but the most famous one is perhaps the borscht. It is a vegetable soup, made of beets, cabbage, tomatoes, carrots and potatoes. They also add garlic, onion, dill and meat. There are many varieties of this dish. Every housewife in Ukraine has her own recipe of borscht. Next on the list is the vinegret salad – salad of beetroot with sunflower oil and vinegar. People also add cooked and chopped potatoes, sauerkraut or pickles, onions, herbs and carrots. Breads and wheat products are also important for Ukrainians.
