Reading The Symbols of Ukrainian State The national flag of Ukraine consists of two horizontal stripes. The top is blue and the bottom is yellow. These are the colours of the sky, the rivers and the golden fields of our beautiful country. Blue and yellow (or gold) were symbols of Kyivan Rus many centuries ago. They were important colours of the Cossack age. The flag first became the national symbol of Ukraine in 1848. It came back in 1992 when Ukraine became аn independent state. The trident is an ancient symbol of Ukrainian people. Its history began about 1,000 years ВC. In the 10th century it became the emblem of Kyivan princes Volodymyr Velykyi and Yaroslav Mudryi. It officially became the national emblem again in 1992. The anthem of Ukraine is "Sche ne vmerla Ukrainy...". Pavlo Chubynskyi wrote the words in 1863 and later composer Mykhilo Verbytskyi wrote the music. First it became the national anthem in 1919. In 1992 it came back again. Task 1.

Dear Mr. Smith,

       I am writing to express my attitude regarding Mr. Kelly's unexpected voluntary dismissal. You probably know he quit last week. I and a number of colleagues consider that it would be reasonable to suggest him to return to work on more acceptable conditions. I personally think that raising salary is the best way for him to consider coming back to the company. In this letter I would like to clarify why it should be done.

        First of all, Mr. Kelly is known throughout  the company as a leading specialist when it comes to sales. Having worked alongside with him for over 10 years I can honestly say that I have never met more professional and energetic individual who can convince to purchase our goods almost any customers enterening our electronics store. He is responsible for the consequences of his actions and he always tries to act responsibly no matter what kind of issue he has to solve. These features of character made him the top sales manager in our company.

         Secondly, Mr. Kelly's previous work in Canada gave him a lot of experience in accounting. Being a proffessional in this field he was often asked to consult our accountants regarding tax payments. This particular ability and his manner to explain all options of calculation made him highly-respected member of the company.

         Thirdly, Mr. Kelly had a lot of experience in organising educational and training sessions for new employees which led to more effective and productive results in sales starting from the first months of their work.  According to their reports working under his supervision was the brightest memory in their career.

         Taking these factors into consideration, I am confident that Mr. Kelly's return to work has to be discussed by the board of the directors and a final decision about calling him and inviting to the job interview should be made as quick as possible.

      Hoping for your swift action in this matter,

        Mindy Atkinson, Human Resources Department
