Cousin

My cousin’s name is Taras, he lives in Vinnytsia. It is a beautiful city.

Every summer my parents and I visit him. Usually, we go to Vinnytsia by car, but sometimes we can go there by train. The train station is big and modern there. Taras lives opposite the library.

The traffic is heavy in Vinnytsia, so we cross the roads only at the traffic lights.
