There is no place like home.
I live in Astrakhan. My town is old and very beautiful. It was founded in 1558 on the bank of the Volga river. The Kremlin is the heart of Astrakhan. There are many historical places in my town. They are St. Vladimir’s cathedral, the Kustodiev`s art gallery, the Khlebnikov`s museum and others.
Besides, Astrakhan is a cultural centre. You can visit the Picture gallery, the Puppet theatre, the Drama theatre here. My favourite place is the Modern musical theatre. It’s a very big and fantastic building near the bridge. My mother and I like to go there every Saturday.
Astrakhan is anagricultural region. Our tomatoes, watermelons, sturgeon, black caviar are famous all over the world. Also a unique flower lotus grows here. It is a symbol of my town. This rare flower is a really charming plant!
My town is very green, because there are a lot of nice parks and squares in it. For example, my family likes to go for a walk along landing stage in the centre of Astrakhan. There is a wonderful musical fountain in the middle of it. As for me, I often take a walk near Swan Lake during summertime. Graceful swans swim in this place. They are so beautiful! In winter we often skate there.
I like my town!
It is easy to imagine the city of my dream. It is enough big and populous. In this city a lot of beautiful buildings. The Majority of the houses in town centre high-rise. On his(its) fringe are located dwellings. These building are low.
In the city of my dream a lot of trees and flowerbeds. But as far back as in each region there is park, where possible walk or repose, sitting on bench. There is platforms In such park, specially equiped with for walk of the dogs. Besides, in each park of the city of my dream I would like to see the pond, on surfaces which sail the swan or ducks. The Paths park decorates with sculpture and fountain. In them also there are baby platforms. А in one of the small piece of coal is equiped with small scene, on which on output and holiday emerge the singer and musicians.
Many inhabitants of this city move on bicycle. For want of big amount of the machines and air in city net and fresh.
I want to live in this city but it is just my dream
