TEXT B: WASHINGTON D.C.

Washington D. C. is the capital of the United States of America. It was founded in 1790. The site of the city was chosen by George Washington as the national capital when he was the President. His choice was accepted by Congress in the act of 1790 having established the Federal District of Columbia. The District of Columbia was named in honour of Christopher Columbus who discovered America. It is a piece of land ten miles square which does not belong to any state. By 1800 the north section of Washington was completed and Congress moved from Philadelphia to the new capital. The city was named in honour of the first President George Washington.

Washington is a beautiful city. The houses of marble and white stone make a great impression on those first visiting it. The city was planned carefully and differs from some other cities of the USA with their sky-scrapers. The buildings are not very high because of the law forbidding to build houses more than 90 feet high. The tallest structures in Washington are the Capitol that houses the Congress and the Washington Monument that is 555 feet (over 180 meters) tall. The oldest building in the city is the White House, the official residence of the President.

The Jefferson Memorial was built in memory of the third President of the USA, Thomas Jefferson, who was the author of the Declaration of Independence. The memorial is surrounded by cherry-trees.

The Lincoln Memorial is devoted to the memory of the 16-th President of the US, the author of the Emancipation Proclamation, which gave freedom to Negro slaves in America.

The Arlington Cemetery lies on the other bank of the Potomac river. Here the President Kennedy was buried. American soldiers and officers, who died in the World War I and II are buried too.

The wide avenues are lined with old shady trees and in parks there are many beautiful flowers.

Washington is the residence of the President and the Congress of the United States, of all government departments and other important institutions. The Congress seats in the Capitol. Washington is known to be a centre of culture and science as there are many research institutes, some universities and the National Academy of Science.
