1) My name is Ann. I am 16. I am from Ukraine. I live in the village of Katyuzhanka which is not far from Kyiv, our capital. I study at the local school and I am a student of the 11th form in the last year at school and I want to continue my study at the University.

 I want all people live in peace and friendship. Peace is the time without weapon shots, when people don't argue with each other but live in peace and friendship

3)My name is Lera. I am from Ukraine. I live in Katyuzhanka and go to school, I study in the 8th form. I like creativity and appreciate this trait in others. I like painting and going in for sport. I adore travelling, meeting other people, getting to know their traditions, customs, their culture, going sightseeing.

At the moment the times are very hard in Ukraine, the east of the country is at war.

At the moment the country is overliving hard times - there is no peace in the east of the country and we, Ukrainians, want peace and stability. For me peace is very important. This is the time without gunshots and when nobody dies, when nobody wants to invade your country or part of it; peace is when you can see smyling faces,not puffy eyes and faces full of grief. I love my country and I want peace in it
