Russia is my country. It is the largest country in the world. Russia is a very rich country. There are a lot of mountains, rivers, forests, seas in the country. The capital of Russia is Moscow. Of course there are a lot of cities, towns in Russia. One of them is Vladimir, my birthplace. I was born in this town. I would like to tell you about my native town. Vladimir is a very old town. It was founded many years ago. I think that my town is beautiful. There are many interesting places in Vladimir to visit. One of them is the Golden Gates in the centre of the town. There is a museum in the Golden Gates. It tells us about the past and the present of our town. There are a lot of historical places in Vladimir. Many tourists come to Vladimir to see and to admire these places. Vladimir is famous for its churches, Cathedrals.

What comes to your mind when you think about birthplace? On the one hand it is my home, my family, my friends. One the hand it is my street, my house , my town. It goes with out saying that Motherland it is a special place for every person. I think our native streets, native town give us huge power that helps us in our life.

       Vladimir  is  my  home  city. I  have  been  living  here  since  1997. I  am  not  thinking of  to  change  the  place  where  I  live. There  are  a  lot  of  reasons  for  that. First  of  all, my  relatives  and  best  friends  arethere . If  I  have  to  leave  my  town, I will  miss  them  very  much. Then  there  are  a  lot  of  things  to  do  and  to  see in  our  town. Everybody  can  choose  the  activity  he  or  she  prefers   most of all. For  example ,  if  you  are  fond  of  doing  sports , our  town  provides  a lot  of  opportunities. Wonderful  gyms  and  skating-rinks ,swimming-pools  and  tennis  courts.  So there  is  everything  for  healthy  lifestyle. Besides there are  many  famous  sights

There is nothing better and dearer in the world than the Native Land. It gives us wings to fly, lights every our step, we can find the things there, that we can see nowhere else.

It is impossible to choose the Native Land.  And I did not choose my homeland either. My small home is a village Volosovo.  And even though I was not born there, this place will be in my heart all my life.

In fact, I was born in a town of Vladimir, where I live now. But the village – is a special place for me, I want to come back there again and again!

Probably, everyone thinks that his own town, or village where he was born and lived, is the best corner of the Earth. Yes, it  is clear, for this place you are unique: you "grew thee upon the palms of its hands”, it enriched you with its beauty, you made friends there   . You are its  particle, it’s  beloved son, and hope.

For me, Vladimir is a kind and honest worker, inquisitive researcher, cultural activist. It  surprisingly  intertwined white and glorious antiquity and the enthusiasm of youth, the  modernized version of  new buildings and the great masterpieces of the architecture of past centuries. It is  serious and at the same time  lively, bustling and it prides itself. It  proudly has been bearing  its  glory day after day from generation to generation for nearly eight centuries.

My native land Russia, the Vladimir region. But everyone has their own "small" homeland. This is the most precious and dear to the place.

I have my favorite spot. This is a small house in the village grandmother Smykova, "my Sinebore." There is nothing more beautiful than this corner of Russia. Every holiday I try to visit my grandmother Masha, especially in summer. Near the village of two rivers flowing Sineborka and Surzha. It is good for fishing: burbot, roach, pike, perch. We have a pope udovolsviem fishing.

Everybody has a homeland. But everybody has his own understanding of this word.  For some people it is the place where they were born, grew up and spent the most part of their childhood, others think that it is the country, where they live in.  I would like to tell you about my so called small homeland. It is my native land, country or town where my forefathers lived. Now my parents and I live here. In my composition I would like to explain you what my native town of Vladimir is for me.

«I love my birthplace»

«Where is the beginning of the motherland?». It seems to me, that the answer of this question is clear: in the birthplace, which often becomes our home town or home village. But sometimes people have to leave the city, where they were born, & to work in another region, which also becomes their «second» home. So, Vladimir includes both definitions: it is not only the town, where I live, but my birthplace, too. When was my little motherland founded? Why does it have so unusual name? What places of interest does this town have? And why do I love my birthplace? So, I`ll try to answer these questions in my essay.

What is Motherland? Motherland is a place, where a person returns to gladly and proudly, and leaving it he knows that he will miss it a lot. Motherland is a place that you love, where you were born and where you live.

It so happens, that I often move from town to town. Now I live in Vladimir. But it doesn`t matter in what town and how long I lived in it, my Motherland is Omsk.

If you ask me: «What do you love in this life? » I answer you: «I love my parents, family and my Birthplace. »         

Parents, home and family this is a root of life for each of us. My parents love me, take care of me, they are my best friends. And at home I get many good fillings, care and love. Also the family gives me many kind things. But my Birthplace is important for me too.
