Ex.1. Complete the interview (points 1-3 below) of a well-known English journalist with the appropriate answers of one of the Ukrainian top state officials Mr N. and answer the questions after it.
Interviewer:
1) In the Western press Ukraine’s often described as a state of totally corrupted bureaucracy, officialdom and mafia. No less often it is mentioned as a country of new democracy. There is also a good chance of finding articles which say that the Ukrainians may possibly support the reestablishment of the Soviet Union. What are your comments on this?
2) Ukraine’s road to independence has been a long and winding one, many of the milestones are covered with blood. What do you feel now when you at last have achieved what you were striving for. I mean, Ukraine gained sovereignty and independence.
3) What are the main tasks in your opinion that must be solved now, at the present stage of Ukraine’s development as a state, and of its entry into the world community of nations?
Mr N.: ...
A) I’m sure we have to continue implementing reforms. But at the final count everything that is being done in Ukraine at the moment organically unites the efforts to solve the internal problems with the steps directed at entering into the family circle of economically developed countries.
B) All the above opinions are not groundless, nevertheless, they do not give a full picture of the contradictions in Ukrainian political and economic situation. This situation is in a constant and a dynamic change, and the Ukraine of the early 2010 bears little resemblance to a Soviet republic it was years ago, and even to the independent state it was in 1994 when Leonid Kuchma was elected president for the first time. In fact, it was in the past few months that the most radical changes took place.
C) I’m really proud of this fact. What happened in August of 1991, was the most important event in several centuries of Ukrainian history. Much of that time Ukraine had lived in bandage. Our thinking has changed along with our destiny. We have tried very hard and we have gained our independence.

There are a number of aspects in the care of the dog on which to focus:
grooming;
washing a dog;
walking;
vaccination.
Grooming.
To care for your dog's coat should from the very young age. This case the breeder must take the time every day. Requires not just vigorously brush the fur of the animal. You must properly brush and comb. The brush will also massage the skin, improve its blood supply, thereby making the hair more thick and shiny.
Washing a dog
Bathe your dog often with special shampoo or powder, impossible. It will not make the hair more pure, and will only hurt the animal, as the wool will slip away natural fat grease. The consequence would be that the dog will lose such an important quality of their wool, as the water resistance, which is often ill. Before bathing and after the dog is thoroughly combed. In order to choose the right shampoo for your animal, you need to go to the vet. Dogs also can be washed with shampoo designed for humans, for example, suitable soft shampoo for children.
The paddock
The best way to teach a puppy to a leash in a small garden or any other enclosed area. It is recommended to carry out dog walking early in the morning or in the evening, during sunset. In order to preserve the health of the dog, don't let her too much to jump or climb stairs and slopes. This can lead to the fact that her fragile bones can bend.
Vaccination
Each animal must be vaccinated in a timely manner. You need to be vaccinated at the age of 2-3 months. Modern veterinary stations offer a comprehensive vaccination, instead of the usual three. It has certain advantages, but for the body of the animal it can be very hard. Some small dogs can even be laid up for a couple of days, as will feel tremendous weakness and malaise.
