Washington
Washington ,the capital of the United States of America, is situated on the Potomac River in the District of Columbia .The district is a piece of land ten miles square and it does not belong to any separate state but to all states. The district is named in honor of Columbus, the discoverer of America.
The capital owes much to the first President of the USA-George Washington. It was G.Washington, who chose the place for the District and laid in 1790 the corner-stone of the Capitol, where Congress sits.
Washington is not the largest city in the USA .It has a population of 9000 000 people.
Washington is a one-industry town. That industry is government. It does not produce anything except very much scrap paper. Every day 25 railway cars leave Washington loaded with scrap paper.
Washington has many historical places. The largest and tallest among the buildings is the Capitol with its great House of Representatives and the Senate chamber. There is a law in Washington not to build houses higher than the Capitol. The White House is the President’s residence. All American presidents except George Washington (the White House was not yet built in his time), have lived in the White House. It was built in 1799.It is a two-storied, white building.
Not far from the Capitol is the Washington Monument, which looks like a very big pencil. It rises 160metres and is hollow inside. A special lift brings visitors to the top in 70 seconds from where they can enjoy a wonderful view of the whole city.
The Jefferson Memorial was built in memory of the third President of the USA, Thomas Jefferson, who was also the author of the Declaration of Independence .The memorial is surrounded by cherry –trees.
The Lincoln Memorial is devoted to the memory of the 16th President of the US, the author of the Emancipation Proclamation, which gave freedom to Negro slaves in America.
On the other bank of the Potomac lies the Arlington National Cemetery where President Kennedy was buried. American soldiers and officers, who died in World Wars I and II are buried there too.
Washington is a large scientific and cultural centre, where there are many research institutes, five universities, the National Academy of Science and the Library of Congress.
There is no more well-known building in Washington –Pentagon, the residence of the US Military department .It is situated in the south of the Potomac.

Белый дом ( the White House) — резиденция президента ( residence of President) США. Расположен в Вашингтоне (округ Колумбия) по адресу: Пенсильвания-авеню, 1600 (1600, Pennsylvania Avenue), является одним из наиболее популярных туристических достопримечательностей в США. Белый дом был официальной резиденцией (official residence)всех Президентов США, за исключением Джорджа Вашингтон, который занимал этот пост с 1789 по 1797 годы. На момент завершения строительства Белого дома в 1800 году Президентом страны являлся Джон Адамс(John Adams). В августе 1814 года Белый дом был сожжен британцами, после чего реконструирован и восстановлен.
Он представляет собой особняк в палладианском стиле (архитектор Джеймс Хобан James Hoban). Строительство началось в 1792 окончилось 1 ноября 1800.В этот же день первым его хозяином стал второй президент США Джон Адамс.
В Белом доме шесть этажей: два цокольных, два для общественных приемов и два для семьи Президента. Посетители, приходящие в Белый дом на экскурсию, имеют возможность увидеть самые красивые и исторические помещения, включая Восточную комнату, Зеленую комнату, Голубую комнату, Красную комнату и Столовую для официальных мероприятий. Эти помещения используются Президентом и Первой леди для приема гостей и руководителей из других стран. В Овальном кабинете (Oval Office) Президент осуществляет свою деятельность по управлению страной – подписывает законопроекты и правительственные распоряжения и встречается со своими сотрудниками, посетителями и гостями.
Первоначально именовался «Президентский дворец» или «Президентский особняк», первое разговорное употребление термина «Белый дом» относится к 1811. Официальным название стало лишь в 1901 по распоряжению Теодора Рузвельта (Theodore Roosevelt). С 1909 рабочее место президента находится в Овальном кабинете в левом крыле здания.
