OurStreet
I live in Sosnova Street.
It is a very quiet street on the outskirts
of our city.
It’s very green in spring and summer.
There are a lot of trees in it.
The sidewalks are lined with limetrees.
There are also many fruittrees and li
lacs in the people’s gardens.
In May the whole street turns into
a blooming garden.
There isn’t much traffic in Sosnova
Street.
The air is fresh, it isn’t polluted with
gases.
I like to come back to our street after
a day spent in the centre of the city.
My Home Town
I live in Poltava.
Poltava is quite an old town.
It was founded in the middle of the
12th century.
The Most Beautiful Place onearth
onearth
I know some English proverbs and
here is one of them — “There is no
place like home”.
Really, the best place is our own town
or village.
We never forget it when we leave it.
There are many beautiful places
where people live.
They are near forests or woods, rivers
or seas, lakes or ponds and even in
the mountains.
Very often we think that such places
are the most beautiful.
By the way, I think that other places
have no fine parks and buildings.
The Town Where I Live
My native town is situated in the
Kharkiv Region.
It is an hour ride from Kharkiv.
Some people can’t imagine their
lives without theatres, multistoreyed
buildings and broad avenues — all
that’s typical of every big industrial
city.
There are no theatres, multistoreyed
buildings 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 almost all my life here.
