"There's no place like home"
there are many beautiful cities and towns in the world. I would like to visit some of them to see with my own eyes what I have read or heard about. But there is no place like home. I love my hometown. I was born here and live with my parents. It's not the capital, but it's a great place to live.
My CITY is old and modern at the same time. It is old because it was founded in the 12th century. At that time, its streets were narrow, dark, and dirty. Now my city looks modern because of its architecture. Almost all the buildings were built after the war. The streets and avenues are wide and clean.
I live on main street. This is the widest street in the city. A lot of cars, buses and trolleybuses run along it quickly. If you want to see the sights of our city, you can walk along the main street. It leads to the main square of the city. It will be a short trip, but you will be able to see a lot: a cinema and a concert hall, an art gallery and museums, a stadium, a zoo and a large Park.
Our art gallery is located next to the main post office. A modern hotel is located in front of the post office building. If you turn left, you will see a theater. And in front of the theater is the Museum of history and culture. After walking two blocks, you will come to the monument to our famous writer and the fountain in the Park. If you want to visit our zoo, take the bus and get off at the third bus stop. Near the traffic light, you will see the entrance to the zoo. Next to it is a circus. It can be visited by children and tourists. They admire funny clowns, tame animals, miracles and magic. There are only a few churches in our city. Every evening we hear the bells ringing.
Our city is on the river Bank. Parks, alleys, bridges over the river, small waterfalls and man-made Islands give the city a special beauty.
Just come and see it for yourself. Better to see than hear.Transfer is urgent
Everyone in our family has his household duties. For example, my Mum always cooks breakfast and dinner for us, does the laundry and the grocery shopping. Now I am twelve years old. When I was younger and didn't go to school, my Mum often asked me to help her with household chores. Of course, it was a kind of a game for me, but I learned to wash dishes, to sweep the floor and dust the furniture. My little sister was just four, and her only duty was to pick up her toys. Sometimes she didn't want to do it, and left toys the all over the house. So, I had to help her.
