Wrestling in England

Some words from history: Wrestling is one of the oldest forms of combat with references to it as early as the Iliad, in which Homer recounts the Trojan War in the 13th or 12th century BC. The origins of wrestling can be traced back 15,000 years through cave drawings in France. Babylonian and Egyptian relief's show wrestlers using most of the holds known to the present-day sport. In ancient Greece, wrestling occupied a prominent place in legend and literature; wrestling competition, brutal in many aspects, was the number one sport of the Olympic Games. The ancient Romans borrowed heavily from Greek wrestling, but eliminated much of its brutality.

One day of the life in Ukraine

One day of my life.
I’d like to describe you an amazing evening on December, 13. On this day, the Ukrainians celebrate one of the most important religious holidays: St. Andrews Day. This holiday has a few traditions: unmarried girls tell fortunes on their future husbands, and the Ukrainian women make varenyks with the surprises inside. Yesterday’s afternoon I was  with my family. My mother  prepared dishes of  Ukrainian national cuisine for supper, necessarily including varenyks. What's about suprises inside varenyks? My mom put notes in some varenyks: a car, success, a new flat, strong health and so on. I found two notes inside my varenyks : happiness and strong health. I hope, that it will come true in the coming year! Maybe, it was the best supper in my life!
