Welcome to my favourite city Samarkand!
1. Today Samarkand is one of the oldest and most important cities in Asia, the third largest city in Uzbekistan. Сегодня Самарканд - один из старейших и важнейших городов Азии, третий по величине город Узбекистана.
2. More than half a million people live in the city of Samarkand. В городе Самарканде проживает более полумиллиона человек.
3. It is famous for its ancient culture and architecture, as well as eventful history. Он славится своей древней культурой и архитектурой, а также богатой историей.

7. Modern Samarkand is divided into two parts: the old city, and the new city which developed during the days of the Russian Empire and Soviet Union. Современный Самарканд делится на две части: cтарый город и новый город, который развивался во времена Российской Империи и Советского Союза.

Старый город включает в себя исторические памятники, магазины и старые частные дома, а новый город включает в себя административные здания, а также культурные центры и образовательные учреждения.
9. The state and official language in Samarkand, as in all Uzbekistan, is the Uzbek language, which is one of the Turkic languages. As in the rest of Uzbekistan, the Russian language is de facto the second official language in Samarkand. Государственным и официальным языком в Самарканде, как и во всем Узбекистане, является узбекский язык, который относится к группе тюркских языков. Как и в остальной части Узбекистана, русский язык де-факто является вторым государственным языком в Самарканде.
10. In Samarkand you can enjoy a tasty Uzbek cuisine. В Самарканде можно отведать вкусные блюда узбекской кухни.
11. People in the city are friendly and hospitable. Люди в городе дружелюбные и гостеприимные.
Объяснение:
I think every person today has a mobile phone, even little children do. For many people it is a necessary thing for everyday life. Moreover their whole life is in their mobile phone.
As for me I can’t imagine my life without a telephone now. Lately mobile phones have become not only a thing which is used to call people but a lot more. Mobiles have taken the place of computers and laptops.
A person can check emails, search for information thanks to the internet connection on mobile phones. We can also listen to music, watch films, videos, read books and chat to our friends with the help of mobiles. It also helps us to stay in touch with people who are far away and with whom we can’t meet for some reasons. It seems nothing can be better than having everything in just one little gadget.
In fact not everything is so wonderful as it seems at the first sight. Just look at people around — they are obviously addicted to their mobiles like to drugs. Every second you see a person staring at his telephone screen. Children are playing games and applications in their mobiles instead of playing football or walking with friends. People forget what it is like to communicate face to face, they only chat to people online. Moreover using mobile phones very often is dangerous because of radiation we get.
I think mobile phones are very useful in people’s life, but we need to find a balance between mobile and face to face communication.
