The Town Where I Live

1. My native town is situated in the Kursk Region. 2. It is an hour ride from Kursk. 3. Some people can't imagine their lives without theatres, multistoried houses and broad avenues all that's typical of every big indus­trial city.

4. There are no theatres, multistoried houses and broad avenues in my town, but still I do like it be­cause I was born here, my parents live here and I've spent here almost all my life. 5. You may think that the life in provincial town is rather dull and far from being interesting. 6. Perhaps, you are right. 7. But I'll try to prove that this life has got quite a lot of advan­tages,

8. Every morning you get up and breathe in fresh air full of various scents which depend on a season: in summer it is a smell of fresh grass and flowers, in winter it is a smell of frost and snow which covers everything with its white thick duvet.

9. My native town becomes espe­cially beautiful in early spring when there is a great many rose-shrubs in flower-beds and everything is in blos­som. 10. This time I like to tramp down the streets lined with chestnuts, moun­tain-ashes and limes. 11. Those who want to have some entertainment can go to the Recreation Park that is famous for its carrousels and all sorts of side-shows. 12. Those who prefer dancing may go to a disco. 13. It's rather popular with young people es­pecially teenagers.

14. It's a pity we have no concert-halls or theatres but you may go to the cinema and watch film there. 15. We have lots of opportunities to go in for sports because there are two big sta­diums in the town. 16. I quite forgot to tell you that there are some good ca­fes in my town, you can call at any of them. 17. I am sure you'll like it there if you want to have some ice-cream or coffee or just have a talk with your friends.

Now I have 5 al­bums full of stamps, it is more than one thousand of them. 16. I like to sit at a table in the evening and arrange new stamps in the albums, or write in the names of the countries, or just look through the stamps.

17. Each stamp has a story to tell about distant countries and new people. 18. I see pictures of people, birds and animals which I have never seen. 19. Kings and presidents pass before my eyes and I can follow the history of whole nations. 20. My hobby is not only wonderful but very useful, too.
