What big cities do you know

  There are many big cities. Among them are

• London,
• Paris,
• Moscow,
• Washington,
• New York,
• Yerevan,
• Rome 
• Kiev.

Cities, like people, have their faces. They are recognized by their landmarks. I want to tell you about Washington and New York.

Washington DC

  Washington is one of the biggest cities in the world. It is the capital of the USA. Washington is quite a young city. It was founded in the 1796 in the District of Columbia on the Potomac River and since 1800 it has been the federal capital. It is one of the few capital cities founded mainly as a seat of government. Washington was named after the first USA president George Washington. He selected the place for the city, and Pierre LEnfant, a French engineer, designed it.

In the center of the city on Capitol Hill you can see an impressive building. It is the Capitol, the seat of the government. This is the highest building in the city. There is a law in Washington against buildings higher than The Capitol. That is why you will not see skyscrapers in Washington.

Northwest of the Capitol stands the residence of the American president, the White House.

At every corner, in every street and square in Washington you are reminded of American history, the War of Independence and the Civil War.

New York

   The Big Apple, as New York City is nicknamed, is the biggest city in the USA. New York is situated at the mouth of the Hudson River. It is one of the largest ports in the world. The city consists of five boroughs, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens and Richmond. The heart of the city is Manhattan a rocky island, thirteen miles long and two miles wide. Manhattan is linked with the others part of the city by numerous bridges.

One of the most famous places in Manhattan is Wall Street. It is the financial centre of the USA and even the most important banking centre in the world.

Hi, its really nice to get a letter from you again. I hope you are doing very well and I want to answer your interesting question. Actually, I know a lot of big cities such as Moscow, London, Paris, but favorite one is New York. I have been there once in my life and I really like it. I would say that my favorite place is Time Square because there a lot of shops, coffee bars, and places to have a chill. There I met many friends and they were really happy to show me the city. I think Ill come to this city again and stay there longer to watch more sights. I am looking forward to your next letter. Good bye.
