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!
Термин бешбармак означает «пять пальцев», потому что кочевники традиционно едят это блюдо руками. [4] Бешбармак обычно готовят из мелко нарезанного отварного мяса, смешанного с лапшой и чыком, луковым соусом. Обычно его подают на больших общих тарелках, разделенных между несколькими людьми [2], после шорпо, который представляет собой первое блюдо из баранины, подаваемое в мисках, называемых кесе [5]. За ним также следует бульон под названием ак-серке [6] (шорпо, смешанный с кымизом или айраном), который, как считается успокоить желудок. [3] Праздничный бешбармак можно приготовить вместе с казы и чучуком.
