Essay in English with translation. "My city". Short texts in English for children and beginners Topic in English on the topic of the city

I live and study in Kazan city, the capital of the Republic of Tatarstan. It's my native city as I was born here. Kazan is located on the left bank of the Volga river and it was founded more than one thousand years ago. So it is a very old place, with rich and fascinating history. The population of my city is multinational and enormous: about one and a half million people. Kazan has changed greatly from the moment when I was born and it has grown much bigger, but still it keeps its own traditions and some strict religious rules. The people of my city are friendly and hospitable, polite and intelligent to my mind.

The capital of Tatarstan is a city of contrasts: there are quarters of modern high-rise buildings and districts with old historical places; some districts are awfully noisy and crowded, with long traffic jams, the others are very clean and quiet. Our transport system is really busy: we have a railway station, a big river port, an airport, buses, trolleybuses, trams and trains of the Kazan metro which was opened in 2005.

There are plenty of impressive sights for our guests in the historical center of the city: the Kremlin of the 10 th century, the Millennium bridge, the Kul-Sharif mosque and other beautiful cathedrals and mosques. Kazan has unique museums, able to suit any taste: the Fine Arts museum, the museum of Leo Tolstoy, the National museum of Tatarstan, the museum of Zoology.

My native city is a recognized sports capital of Russia. It has hosted many important sports events. The International Summer Universiade of 2013 was among them. And in 2018 our city is going to host the FIFA World Cup.

I feel proud of my birthplace and I am sure that Kazan is the place which is worth visiting at least once in our life. I know that many tourists from abroad come here and they feel enraptured with the local sights.

My home town (My hometown)

I was born in a small town where my granny lived. But a few years later my parents decided to move to another place because they got jobs there. So now I live in a wonderful town of Kamenets-Podolskyi, which is located in Khmelnitsky region and is very famous among Ukrainians. The population of the town is approximately 120,000 inhabitants.
The town is divided into several parts but the main division may be as follows: the new town and the old town. All the historical monuments, memorials and museums are concentrated in the old town where you can meet tourists from all over the world. Various concerts and international festivals are held here. However, the main tourism attraction is the large fortress, which, according to the historical records, was founded in the 11th century as a defensive fort by Cossacks. This fortress has become a great tourist attraction of my town.
The new part of the town is quite contemporary and busy. The streets are full of people; the roads are full of cars as in any other town or city. It is the place where you can easily find lots of cafes, restaurants and hotels.
In general, the town is highly industrially developed. There are a lot of plants and factories. At the same time it is a student town due to many educational establishments and schools. In addition, if you like to do outdoor activities or relax in nature, there are a lot of parks and gardens, which, by the way, make the town look green and fresh. I am sure that people of ages can find what to do in Kamenets-Podilskyi because there is a lot of entertainment there, which varies from disco clubs and cinemas to art galleries and libraries.
This is the town of contrasts where the past is closely connected with the present. I am really glad that I am its citizen.

MY NATIVE TOWN

I was born in Donetsk and it is my native town. It was founded in 1869 and it was called Uzovka. First it was a small mining settlement but in the upper part of the River Kalmius it had rich stores of coal, and very quickly it grew into a huge mining and industrial centre.

I should say that Donetsk is rich in coal and iron ore. People soon discovered it and in 1866 there appeared the first iron workshops. In 1869 John Uze, the London manager, arrived and settled on the banks of the River Kalmius. He was invited by the government, his aim was to develop the rich deposits. John Uze was a good specialist, he built a blacksmith's workshop, which grew into the future Donetsk Metallurgical Plant. In 1899 there was built a plant producing mining equipment. Today we know it as Donetsk Machine Building Plant.

In 1924 this settlement became a city and was named Stalino. In 1932 it became the capital of Donbass. During World War II the most part of the city was destroyed.

In 1961 the city was called Donetsk. As it was the city with rich deposits its population grew up.

Today we know Donetsk as an administrative, industrial, scientific and cultural centre. There are many industrial enterprises, construction associations and different organizations. Its scientific achievements are known all over Ukraine and even abroad. The educational establishments are famous for the excellent quality of education. Everybody knows Donetsk Medical University, or Donetsk National Technical University. Today there are many other colleges, institutes, universities, where study students not only from Ukraine but also from foreign states. There are line theaters in the city. There is also the Philarmony, a circus, a planetarium, a great number of Palaces of Culture, many museums, libraries, clubs and cinemas.

The main street of Donetsk is Artyoma Street. The streets are long and beautiful. They are always in motion, sometimes even happen traffic jams.

I would like to tell you that I like my town. I know every corner of it. Wherever I go I am always glad to come back to my native town. For me there is no other place in the world where I can feel like home.
