"I
love my birthplace”
At the last lesson before holidays we were given a
task to write a composition "I love my birthplace”. After that I thought, and
what for?
I was born in the beautiful city of Vladimir and I
have been living here for 14 years. I love everything in it: buildings,
streets, nature and people. At any time of a year my city is very beautiful. I
like to walk with my friends along the streets of my city, especially in spring
and summer, when it is warm. It is always snowy in winter in Vladimir, that’s
why you can toboggan, ski, skate and play snowballs – it is very funny.
And I like my city because there are a lot of good
people there. They will always helpyou. These people, of course, are my
friends, my relatives and friends. It's nice to see when people are not
indifferent. I have seen many times how passers-by helped unknown people.
There are also many historical, interesting and beautiful
buildingsin my city. The most famous is, probably, the Golden Gates, which are
located in the centre of Vladimir. Now there are guided tours to the Golden Gates
museum. It is represented by a military-historical exposition of the
Tatar-mongolinvasion, there is also exposition of weapons and military
equipment of different times. The historical centre of the city includes Dormition
cathedral, one of the monuments of Russian architecture of the XII century; Dmitrievsky
cathedral, built by Vsevolod the Big Nest in the XII century, Church of the
Intercession on the Nerl, Knyaginin convent, so I like to walk in the centre of
the city very much. To have a look at Church of the Intercession on the Nerl
you have to go to Bogolyubovo. It is not far away from Vladimir.
Our city is visited by many tourists from nearby areasand
even from different countries everyday. People are interested in history of
Vladimir and want to see the sights.
I’d like to tell you about the streets of the city. I live
in Zhukovsky street, this street is small. But there are a great number of
streets in Vladimir. Many streets are named in honor of the great people of our
country, for example Tchaikovsky Street, Balakirev street, Suvorov street,
Surikov street, Polina Osipenko street, Sokolova-Sokolyonka street. There are a
lot of old streets in the centre of the city; it’s worth having a walk along
them!
And, of course, I wanted to talk about the nature of
our city, because it's so beautiful! There are many parks in Vladimir, a various
green plants and trees. When it is warm it’s very nice to go for a walk in the
park with my friends, breathe fresh air, eat an ice cream, and have fun. There
is even the city station of young naturalists or The Patriarch's gardens in our
city. I can’t describe what a beautiful park it is! There is a small pond where
swans swim in summer. When spring comes, children from different schools come
there to clean the territory of the garden from the waste that people,
unfortunately, leave there.By summer my city becomes extremely beautiful: lots
of colours, variety of trees, bushes. There is "nature corner" inthe
Patriarch's gardens.Pupils take care of the different pets there: hamsters,
mice, parrots, fish.
It is just a small part of that why I love my city. I
am proud that I live in Vladimir!
