I  Love  My  Birthplace

                                                                                                It is good to be visiting,

                                                                                               But it is better at home.

        My name is Svetlana. My surname is Shamshurina. I am eleven years old. I am in the fifth form. I was born on the most splendid holiday - the 9-th of May, Victory Day. Vladimir is my birthplace and I like it. I admire its old streets, churches, and majestic cathedrals, emerald green parks in summer and snowy clothes on the trees and houses in winter.  I think that Vladimir is the most beautiful town.   

         My father, my mother and all my friends and classmates live in Vladimir. Here is my native school number 33. I learnt to read and write, counter and draw in it.  

         Vladimir is   beautiful in   all   seasons. The   nature is wonderful in   Vladimir and   all   its   suburbs. I    prefer to spend my   free   time   in   the   open   air with   my   friends, making   up   a picnic. In June I like to watch backs and bellies of baby fishes, sparkling in the sun, in the Klyazma River. Every winter my friends and I enjoy skiing, playing snowballs, making big snowmen and toboggan in the Country Park.

         In the settlement Zaklyazmensky there is a stable, where I ride a horse twice a week. It`s my hobby. I love horses. They are beautiful and kind animals. It`s wonderful to ride a horse at full speed.

         So, I love my town very much because it is my native town. I`ve spent my childhood here. I`d like to travel all over the world, but I am  sure there is no other town like Vladimir.  It is my birthplace.
