School Ukrainian teenagers

spend a lot of time at school. They also spend a lot of time doing their homework. Children start going to school when they are 6 years old and finish school at the age of 17. Also high school students have to pass exams. All teenagers go to school in uniforms. School starts on the 1st of September in Ukraine. On the first school day students congratulate teachers on the beginning of the school year.

Free time

What do Ukrainian teenagers do to have a lot of fun? Of course, they like watching TV, listening to music and playing computer games, but a great number of teenagers like meeting friends very much. They walk in parks, go to cinemas, cafés, shopping centers. Among young people such places as: Aroma Bar, Mac Donald's, Ocean Plaza, Mafia are very popular.

Hobby In Ukraine, teenagers use a lot

of their time for hobbies. As tastes differ, teenagers have different interests and hobbies. For example, sports, collecting some things like postcards, stamps and labels, reading books, writing, and cooking. Girls and boys are different. For example, boys are interested in sports like football, basketball, volleyball and swimming. But girls prefer dancing, singing and going out with friends. Some girls like sports too for instance, running, playing volleyball, handball and swimming.

Technology

As well as the Internet, teenagers in Ukraine use their computers to play games and do their homework. They also love their mobile phones and spend hours texting their friends and chatting. Today, phones are getting smaller and lighter and you can do a lot more with them than just talk. Text messaging and social networks have taken over as the coolest and trendist ways to socialise.

Fashion

At school, almost all Ukraine teenagers have to wear a school uniform. However, in their free time they can wear whatever they like and what they like is designer labels. Nike, Adidas, Benetton, Tommy Helfiger, Zara are the top favourites, but looking good doesn’t come cheap in Ukraine.
