I love my Birthplace.

My Birthplace… What does it mean?
For each person it is something personal, perfect and valuable. As for me, the Birthplace means «my family, my home, my native town and my favourite country». Together they make up my Birthplace.
Who will always support you, if not your family, mum and dad? Perhaps they are those people whom I can trust. I return home with joy and pride. I realize that I am at home. Home… This is a very important word in the life of any person... It is good, when you have got home. Everything is native here: furniture, colour, smell. And if you have a cat or a dog it is also very good. The pets are a part of you, they are your friends.
And if, for example, you're bored or just your soul is empty, what are you doing? In such moments, I love to walk out the streets of my native town Vladimir, dreaming and thinking about my problems, looking at the houses and the shops. I amhappy when I meet a passerbywith happy smile. It's so important for a person to smile and to be happy. I love my town because of its empty streets in the evening, parks, fountains, lights, cozy cafes and shops... I love to go home at night and looking into the windows and watch how people live there. There are very beautiful houses in the centre of Vladimir. Some of them are very old. They are special. They are the part of the history of my town, the part of me. As for me, Vladimir is a magical world, a fairytale. Sometimes it is noisy, colourful, and sometimes it is quiet and shy. I do not understand those people who do not love the place where they were born and live. You were born here! This is your home, your family! Your native town is a part of you. It is interesting and important for you.You are proud of it. For example, I know the history of my town and I am proud of the fact that Vladimir was the capital of Russ. And what about thecathedrals,churches and monuments in it! The Golden Gates... Probably you will not find a better place in my town than the Golden Gates in the evening. This is a fairy tale! If you compare Vladimir with Moscow or St. Petersburg it is not big.But it does not important for me. The most important thing for me is just the existence.
And finally, the third part of my Birthplace is my country. Russia is a great country. It isbeautiful, mysterious and magical. Perhaps I say this because it is my Motherland. I am sure that any person wants to watch its beautiful landscapes, forests, fields, towns and streets, to know the history of my country. It is so rich.
The Birthplace is the corner which we want to preserve, to protect and to save. It is the place where we feel well and freely, where we can be ourselves. To protect and to love the Birthplace - is the duty of every person. The Birthplace - is something that is inside us: sacred, unchanging, important and dearly loved. I am proud of my country and I am ready to support, to protect, to change for the best, develop and to protect it from those who have nothing sacred in their life.
