Living in the City

Living in a city has both advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side, it is often easier to find work, and there is usually a choice of public transport, so you don’t need1 to have a car. Also, there are a lot of interesting things to do and places to see. For example, you can eat in good restaurants, visit museums, and go to the theatre and to concerts. What is more, if you want to relax you can usually find a park where you can feed the birds or just sit on a park bench and read a book.

However, for every plus there is a minus. For one thing, you might have a job, but if it is not very well-paid, you cannot have many things because living in a city is often very expensive. It is particularly difficult to find good, cheap accommodation. Public transport is sometimes crowded and dirty, particularly in the rush hour and even the parks can become very crowded, especially on Sundays when a lot of city-dwellers are looking for some open space and green grass. Last of all, despite2 all the crowds, it is still possible to feel very lonely in a city.

In conclusion, I think that city life can be particularly interesting to young people, who like the excitement3 of the city and don’t mind4 the noise and pollution. However, many people, when they get older, and particularly when they have young children, often prefer the peace and fresh air of the countryside.

London

London has a population of about 6,770,000. It lies on the River Thames. From about 1800 until the World War II, London was the biggest city in the world, but now there are many cities which are much bigger.

London is famous for many things. Tourists come from all over the world to visit its historic buildings, such as St Paul’s Cathedral and the Houses of Parliament, where you can see and hear the famous clock, Big Ben. They also come to visit its theatres, its museums, and its many shops.

Like many big cities, London has problems with traffic and pollution. Over 1,000,000 people a day use the London Underground, but there are still too many cars on the streets. The air isn’t clean, but it is cleaner than it was 100 years ago. Until 1956, London was famous for its fog or ‘smog’, which is a mixture of smoke and fog.

The best thing about London is the parks. There are five parks in the city centre. But children’s favourite place is Hamleys, which is the biggest toyshop in the world. It is 200 years old.

Novosibirsk is the City I Study in

Novosibirsk is a big city. It’s territory is 491 km2. It’s Russia’s third largest city by area. With the population of nearly 1,500,000 people it’s the largest in Siberia and the 4th largest in Russia.

The city is located in Western Siberia, 18 hundred miles east of Moscow. It is located alongside the river Ob. Novosibirsk is divided into ten administrative districts, 2 of which are situated on the left and 8 – on the right bank of the Ob.

The history of the city is not very long. It is a little more than 100 years old. In 2007 Novosibirsk celebrated the 114th anniversary of its foundation (1893). At first it was a little settlement on the bank of the river Ob that was called Alexandrovsk. But it started growing up very quickly when a bridge across the river had been built. In 1895 it was called Novonikolaevsk. In 1903 it gained the status of a town. And in 1925 it was renamed Novosibirsk. During the World War II a lot of plants and factories from the European part of Russia were moved to Novosibirsk. This fact, though tragic, promoted the development of the city and the growth of the population. Today Novosibirsk is one of the main industrial, scientific, educational centres of Russia.

I wouldn't say that it is a very beautiful city though it has many sights. They are: the Opera and Ballet House that is well-know all over the world, the beautiful building of the Railway station, the theatre for young spectators "Globus", the drama theatre "Krasniy Fakel", the monument of Glory, the conservatoire, the circus and many others.

Although the city is growing and becoming more beautiful from day to day there are some serious problems in it. The most serious of them are: high cost of living and environmental pollution by transport and industry. I hope these problems will be solved by joint efforts of the city administration and residents of Novosibirsk.
