Письмо по английскому языку на тему" Нижний Новгород- мой родной город" ( 7 класс)

     Nizhny Novgorod is my native city.

Nizhny Novgorod is my native city. Here I was born, here I am living now. I like it with all my heart and I am proud of it. Nizhny Novgorod  has a long and rich history. Our city is situated on the confidence of the Volga and the Oka. It used to be called Gorky between 1932 and 1990. It was founded in 1221 by Prince Yury ( Georgy) Vsevolodovich.  It was founded more than 800 years ago. It is located 439 km north-east of Moscow. Before 1917 Nizhny Novgorod was proudly referred to as « Pocket of Russia» because  of  its rich trading traditions. The city was closed for foreigners until 1991. The Volga and the Oka divide Nizhny Novgorod into 2 parts: across the river ( 5 districts : Sormovo, Moscovsky, Kanavinsky,Leninsky and Avtozavodsky) and uphill ( Nizhegorodsky, Sovetsky,Prioksky).The city is very large and it takes much time to get from one district to another. The only way out is the famous underground. It is the most convenient and beautiful means of communications. Many shops, restaurants, offices are situated in our city. Nizhny Novgorod is rich in places of rest: parks, gardens. A lot of people do sports. They attend sport sections, sport clubs.

The city attracts a lot of tourists, especially in spring and summer. That is due to our warm climate, plenty of fruit and vegetables and of course the Volga beach.  I am admiring our nice and green city. Nizhegorodsky district is a historical, administrative and cultural center of the city.We can see the Kremlin with its buildings of the city and regional administrations, the Art museum , the Philharmonic Hall and the Kremlin Concert Hall. The stone-wall Kremlin ( the Ivanovskaya Tower- 1500, the rest-1508-1515) built by architect Pietro Francesco ( Pyotr Fryazin). There are 13 towers. They are 18 to 30 m high, the walls are up to 5 m thick and 12 to 22 m high. It is very interesting to read books about Nizhny Novgorod. It helps me to understand my city and its people. Of course it would be interesting to visit the city and to admire its sights.

Краткое описание документа:

Нижний Новгород – один из красивейших городов Поволжья. Областной центр- Нижний Новгород. Умеренно- континентальный климат. Основан в 1221 году князем Юрием ( Георгием) Всеволодовичем у слияния двух рек Оки и Волги. Нижний Новгород до 1917 года гордо назывался « карманом России» из-за богатых торговых традиций и огромной роли ярмарки. Реки Волга и Ока разделяют Нижний Новгород на две части : заречную и нагорную. Нижегородский район - исторический и административно-культурный центр города. Экономический, научный, культурный потенциал Поволжья огромен. Я люблю Нижний Новгород.
