There are many cities in the world. The cities are big, small and beautiful. However, some of them are ugly. I live in a small but beautiful city. There are a lot of trees, flowers there. My city is beautiful in winter, spring, summer and autumn. It is changing in spring a lot. There are many green leaves on trees and many flowers begin to grow.
When I have a bad mood, I love to walk around the city. Sometimes it is raining or snowing but I love the place where I live. Maybe I will have to leave my city in the future when I finish school and enter the University. There is only one University and a few colleges in my city, so many young people leave for a better place.
My city is not far from Moscow, I visit Moscow almost every summer. Moscow is the largest city in Russia; there are almost 10 million people there. There are many museums, theaters, sports clubs, universities in Moscow. It is good! But Moscow is noisy. Also there are a lot of cars there, the air is not clean. However, I know a lot of people who love Moscow and don't want to leave it.
Every city in Russia has its own beauty.

My home town (My hometown)
I was born in a small town where my granny lived. But a few years later my parents decided to move to another place because they got jobs there. So now I live in a wonderful town of Kamenets-Podolskyi, which is located in Khmelnitsky region and is very famous among Ukrainians. The population of the town is roughly 120,000 inhabitants.
The town is divided into several parts but the main division may be as follows: the new town and the old town. All the historical monuments, memorials and museums are concentrated in the old town where you can meet tourists from all over the world. Various concerts and international festivals are held here. However, the main tourism attraction is the large fortress, which, according to the historical records, was founded in the 11th century as a defensive fort by Cossacks. This fortress has become a great tourist attraction of my town. 
The new part of the town is quite contemporary and busy. The streets are full of people; the roads are full of cars as in any other town or city. It is the place where you can easily find lots of cafes, restaurants and hotels.
In general, the town is highly industrially developed. There are a lot of plants and factories. At the same time it is a student town due to many educational establishments and schools. In addition, if you like to do outdoor activities or relax in nature, there are a lot of parks and gardens, which, by the way, make the town look green and fresh. I am sure that people of ages can find what to do in Kamenets-Podilskyi because there is a lot of entertainment there, which varies from disco clubs and cinemas to art galleries and libraries.
This is the town of contrasts where the past is closely connected with the present. I am really glad that I am its citizen.

Theme: My city
I live in Kirov. This is my hometown. Kirov (which was known as Vyatka at the beginning of the 20th century) is located in the north-east of Russia, and it is an administrative, economic, educational and cultural center of Kirov region. My town is neither small nor too big. Its population is slightly less than 500 thousand people.
I live in Kirov. This is my hometown. Kirov (which was known as Vyatka in the early 20th century) is located in northeastern Russia and is administrative. economic. educational and cultural center of the Kirov region. My city is not small, but not too big either. Its population is slightly less than 500 thousand people.
Of course, Kirov is not an ideal place to live. Most people who come to my town for the first time say that it is grey, dirty and miserable. They get irritated with narrow streets and poor quality roads. And finally, they say that life in such a place should be rather depressing. Certainly, I am well aware of all the problems of my town. And still I think everything is not so bad. Despite all the issues mentioned, Kirov has got some specific features that make me love it. And I want to tell you about these features.

And in the end, they say that life in such a place must be very depressing. Of course, I am well aware of all the problems of my city. Still, I don't think it's all that bad. despite all the problems mentioned, Kirov has some special features for which I love him. And I want to talk about these features.
Firstly, Kirov is an ancient city. Of course, a lot of new housing developments appear every year here. But most central streets have preserved their historical look. There are many ancient buildings, and each of them has its own individual style and spirit. So, Kirov is not a featureless modern city; it has got its own distinctive personality and soul. I like walking along its narrow streets, especially early in the morning, when . It seems to me that every house has its face and character.
First, Kirov is an ancient city. Of course, every year there are many new buildings. However, most of the central streets have retained their historical appearance. There are many old buildings here, and each of them has its own individual style and spirit. Therefore, Kirov is not faceless modern city; it has a personal identity and a soul. I love to walk along its narrow streets, especially in the early morning when there are few people there. And it seems to me that every house here has its own face and character.
Secondly, in my town there are many parks and other green zones. Unlike “concrete jungles” of modern metropolises, Kirov is relatively clean and quiet. Even if you live in the very center of the town, you can reach the nearest park in five-ten minutes. So, there are a lot of places to walk and have a rest here. And, to my mind, this is very important for those who have small children.
Secondly, there are many parks and other green areas in my city. Unlike the "stone jungle" of modern megacities, Kirov is relatively clean and calm. Even if you live in the very center of the city, you can reach the nearest park in five to ten minutes. There are many places where you can walk and relax. And, in my opinion, this is very important for those who have small children.
Thirdly, I like our people. Though out-of-towners often say that residents of Kirov, are too serious and unwelcoming, it is not so. Maybe they don't smile at other people too often, but they are kind and sympathetic. In big cities people often become cold and indifferent; they don't care of anybody except themselves. And here, in my town, you can ask for help a stranger in the street, and, most likely, he will help you.
Thirdly, I like our people. Although visitors often say that the inhabitants of Kirov are too serious and unfriendly, this is not so. They may not smile at other people too often, but they are kind and helpful. In big cities, people often become callous and indifferent, they don't care about anyone but themselves. But here in my city, you can ask a stranger on the street for help, and, most likely, he will help you.
