Сочинение / Мой город (на англ.) - страница 17

What place to choose for living depends on the lifestyle of a person. Let’s overview some points of living in a city and in the county.

 Firstly, let’s talk about traffic. There are lots of cars, buses and other means of transport in the city. Life is too busy in the city. On the contrary, it’s calm and quiet in the country.

Secondly, there are many theatres, museums, cinemas and other places for entertainment in the city. Your cultural life will be much more interesting there. But you can enjoy green fields in the countryside.

Some words about pollution. It’s obvious that the air and the water are much more cleaner in the country than in the city.

If we compare crime rates of the city and of the countryside, the villages will win.

Since its birth, I lived in Lviv. Not surprisingly, I think their city best. Every person from her hometown some related their own experiences, failures and victories, but in all the people who live in a particular city, have something in common. A certain unique feeling, unique trait, brought their homeland. When I visited other cities in Ukraine, I also felt the uniqueness of the city and the uniqueness of their residents. Then I finally persuaded that every city has its own soul. It is interesting to observe how for such a short time rapidly and quickly developed my city.

 In the city I would like to change a lot of things! The first that I would like to change it city ecology, in my opinion it is the main reason of deterioration of the city! Very much it would be desirable to see the city in which I live pure and beautiful. Still I would like to make more entertaining centers for children. That in the city there were many parks, after all there children and adults very like to have a rest! Everything that I would like to change it in my city at present!

как насчет Санкт-Петербурга?=)

Saint Petersburg (population nearly 5 million), formerly Leningrad, is Russia’s second largest city. Only Moscow, the capital, has more people. St. Petersburg is a major Russian port and one of the world’s leading industrial and cultural centres. The city lies in north-western Russia, at the eastern end of the Gulf of Finland, an arm of the Baltic Sea.
St. Petersburg was the first Russian city built in imitation of western European cities. Its magnificent palaces, handsome public buildings, and wide public squares resemble those of such cities as London, Paris, and Vienna. In the early 1800 s, a commission that included noted Italian architect Carlo Rossi established a design for the centre of the city that includes a series of squares.
The city has had three names. Czar Peter I (the Great) founded it in 1703 as St. Petersburg. After Russia went to war against Germany in 1914, at the start of World War I, the name was changed to Petrograd. The country’s officials chose this name, which means Peter’s City in Russian, to get rid of the German ending burg.
In 1922, the Soviet Union was formed under the leadership of Russia. In 1924, the Soviet Unions Communist government renamed the city in honour of V. I. Lenin, the founder of the Soviet Communist Party. In 1991 — as Communist influence in the Soviet Union declined — the people of the city voted in a nonbinding referendum to restore the name St. Petersburg. In September 1991, the Soviet government officially approved the name change. In December 1991, the Soviet Union was dissolved, and Russia became an independent nation.
The city lies on a marshy lowland where the Neva River empties into the Gulf of Finland, at about 60° north latitude. Because of its far northern location, St. Petersburg has very short periods of daylight in winter. For about three weeks in June, it has "white nights" during which the sky is never completely dark.
The centre of St. Petersburg is on the southern bank of the Neva. This area includes the main business district and most of St. Petersburg’s famous buildings. Many fine examples of baroque and neo-classical architecture have been preserved in the area, and few modern structures have been built there. The city has about 900 small rivers and canals and about 400 bridges.
Several luxurious palaces built in the 1700 s still stand in three suburbs of St. Petersburg—Pavlovsk, Petrodvorets, and Pushkin. These palaces, famed for their architectural excellence, were summer homes of the czars. Today, they are popular resorts and tourist attractions.

Этот город по своему прекрасен. В 1743 году на правом берегу реки Яик основана крепость Магнитная. Указом Елизаветы Петровны все пришельцы, поселившиеся на Яике, были зачислены в Оренбургское казачье войско. В 1747 была построена деревянная церковь Святой Троицы. Рудознатцы промышленника И.  Б.  Твердышева провели на горе Магнитной шурфовку, определив, достаточно ли руды для строительства поблизости железноделательного завода. Позже уже в 1752 заводчик И.  Б.  Твердышев и его зять И.  С.  Мясников, опираясь на положения Берг-коллегии 1719—1734 годов и пользуясь тем, что гора Магнитная не записана в чью-либо собственность, подают в Оренбургскую губернскую канцелярию «Нижайшее прошение», чтобы рудное место закрепили за ними «на вечные времена». В 1759 года началась добыча руды.

В июне 1891 года наследник престола Николай Александрович (будущий Николай II) остановился в Магнитной по пути в Оренбург. В 1893 году была открыта первая больница, а в 1897 население перевалило за 10 тысяч человек. В 1915 году начались изыскательские работы по строительству железной дороги Белорецк — Магнитная, первая мировая война помешала осуществить проект.

В июле 1917 Магнитный станичный сход устранил стражника, охранявшего имущество и денежные средства почтового отделения. Исполняющий обязанности губернского комиссара Енигеев доносил правительству, что меры к восстановлению охраны приняты. 1 апреля 1918 года в станицу Магнитную прибыл красногвардейский отряд под командованием М.  В.  Калмыкова, в этот же день был «избран» станичный Совет.

My name's Sasha and I'm 9. I study at school 11 in the city of Cherkassy, in the fourth form. My parents did their best to make my inner world and the world around me interesting and harmonious. I pay much attention to my studying in school, but besides it, I've got lots of hobbies: I go in for sport dancing and take classes in the art school. I also take care of my pets and I'm fond of travelling.

Our dance group performed in many cities of the Ukraine: Yalta, Kiev, Odessa and Kanev.

I try to express my attitude to the world around me through my art works. Some of my paintings were shown at exhibitions. My view of the world through my artistic images was awarded prizes.

As we are all parts of the surrounding world I always treat "our dumb animals" gently. In our family we love two guinea pigs a lot: Ritchie and Sunychka. By the way, a black one, Ritchie, got its name after the great guitarist Ritchie Blackmore. I get a great pleasure from a contact with animals while I feed them. We have a very merry dialogue.

I constantly try to broaden and beautify my world. Every year my family and I go to different parts of our country and abroad to get new impressions, discoveries and knowledge.

The majesty of the Northern Caucasian and Crimean Mountains, the soft Black and Mediterranean Seas, the calmness and wisdom of Carpathian forests make us treat surrounding nature with love and respect.

I love my world!

Меня зовут Саша, и мне 9 лет. Я учусь в школе 11 города Черкассы, в 4 классе. Мои родители постаралисьсделать мой внутренний и окружающий мир интересным и гармоничным. Я уделяю много внимания учебе в школе, но кроме этого у меня есть много увлечений: я занимаюсь спортивными танцами и учусь в художественной школе. Я также забочусь о домашних любимцах и люблю путешествовать.

Наша танцевальная группа выступала во многих городах Украины: в Ялте, Киеве, Одессе и Каневе.

Свое отношение к окружающему миру я стараюсь выражать в своих художественных работах. Несколько моих рисунков были выставлены на выставках. Мой взгляд на мир в художественных образах был отмечен призами.

Поскольку мы все - части окружающего мира, я очень нежно отношусь к "братьям нашим меньшим". В нашей семье очень любят двух морских свинок: Ричи и Сунычку. Кстати, черный по цвету Ричи получил свое имя в честь великого гитариста Ричи Блэкмора. Очень большое удовольствие я получаю от общения с животными во время их кормления. У нас получается очень веселый диалог.

Я постоянно пытаюсь расширять и украшать свой мир. Каждый год мы с семьей отправляемся за новыми впечатлениями, открытиями и знаниями в самые разные уголки нашей страны и даже за рубеж.

Величие гор Северного Кавказа и Крыма, ласковые Черное и Средиземное моря, спокойствие и мудрость лесов Карпат заставляют нас с любовью и уважением относиться к окружающей нас природе.

Я люблю мой мир!  ( детское, конечно, сочинение, но может быыть возьмешь из этого что-нибудь полезное)
