My Hometown
I live in Taraz. It is one of the largest cities of Kazakhstan. It lies at the junction of the Talas River and the Turk-Sib Railway.
Taraz is one of the oldest cities of Kazakhstan. The first settlement appeared in the Talas River valley about twenty centuries ago. The ancient city of Taraz flourished as a stop along the Silk Road until it was destroyed by Mongol armies in the 13th century. About five centuries later, a new town called Auliye-Ata was established here. During its long history the town had different names and the last change was made in 1997 when Zhambyl became Taraz.
Now the population of the city is about 350,000 people. The modern city has large phosphate-processing works; a large power station; sugar, leather, and footwear factories; and a wool-washing plant.
I think Taraz is a beautiful city and an interesting place to visit. There are mosques, mausoleums and museums here. We have three universities and a lot of colleges and schools. There are also sports clubs and a large stadium, cinemas and one of the most beautiful buildings of our city – Regional Drama Theatre.
I love my city.

Мой город
Я живу в Таразе. Это один из крупнейших городов Казахстана. Он расположен у пересечения реки Талас и Туркcиба.
Тараз - один из древнейших городов Казахстана. Первое поселение появилось в долине реки Талас около двадцати веков назад. Древний Тараз процветал как город-остановка на Великом шелковом пути, пока не был разрушен монгольскими войсками в 13 веке. Спустя пять веков здесь был основан новый город под названием Аулие-Ата. За свою долгую историю город имел разные названия, и последнее изменение произошло в 1997 году, когда Жамбыл стал Таразом.
Сейчас население города составляет около 350 000 человек. Современный город имеет крупные фосфатоперерабатывающие заводы; большую электростанцию; сахарный завод, кожевенный завод, обувная и шерстомойная фабрики.
Я думаю, что Тараз - красивый город и интересное место для посещения. Здесь есть мечети, мавзолеи и музеи. У нас есть три университета и много колледжей и школ. Есть также спортивные клубы и большой стадион, кинотеатры и одно из самых красивых зданий нашего города - Областной драмтеатр.
Я люблю мой город.
Kyiv is the city with a history that spans more than a millennium. It is one of the most picturesque cities in the world. Green streets fully harmonize with impressive architecture.
During the reign of Prince Volodymyr the Great, the first stone church in Ukraine was built. The Golden Gate, built in the 11th century, was the primary entrance to the fortress. It was very famous in Eastern Europe. It was restored in 1989.
St Sophia’s Cathedral is located not far from the Golden Gate. It faces a square, in the centre of which there is a monument to Bohdan Khmelnytsky, the Hetman of the Ukrainian Cossacks.
St Sophia’s Cathedral was often used to receive foreign ambassadors and sign treaties in the past.
