The climate of Ukraine is determined by its geographical location. Ukraine’s territory lies in the temperate belt and its climate is temperately continental, only the southern coast of the Crimea is subtropical. The climate of Ukraine is characterized by considerable variations due to the great range from north to south and from west to east, stretching from the areas under the influence of the north-western Atlantic to the interior of the continent. This means that the air temperature decreases not only from north to south but also from west to east. The characteristic features of the climate are higher summer temperatures, lower winter temperatures, and rare rainfalls.

Dear Steve,

I was very glad to hear from you again. I haven't written for ages because of my school activities.

In your letter you ask me to tell you about my favorite kind of sports. With a pleasure. I like many kinds of sports but best of all I like football. It's the game of my dream. I play for my school football club "Shkolnik". We are good players and we win almost every competitions.
Besides it I'm a football fan and I like to watch every match on TV or in the stadium. And what about you? Tell me about your favorite kind of sports. That's for me today. I have to go.

Best regards to your family.
Write soon.
