My name is Marina. I’m fourteen years old and I’m a pupil of the state secondary school. The city where I was born and raised is Krasnodar. It’s a regional capital and administrative center, situated in the south part of Russia. The city is rather big. It houses hundreds of enterprises and factories. The population is very close to one million. I’m sure when it approaches this number the city authorities will build a metro. In my opinion, subway stations would be very helpful in such city as Krasnodar. At the moment we’re having heavy traffic on the roads. If this problem would be solved, my city on the whole is very beautiful and comfortable for living. It is full of large malls, cinemas, theatres, galleries and exhibitions. When I want to spend my weekend pleasantly I go with my friends to the city center to one of the pizza places or cinemas. Another good place for friendly party is a bowling alley. My favourite part of the city is Krasnaya Street. It is the oldest and the most beautiful central street of Krasnodar. Full of interesting monuments, alleys and sights it attracts thousands of tourists. The street is very convenient for evening and weekend walks as it’s partially closed. I should mention that Krasnodar is rather multinational. Many southern nations inhabit my home city, including the Russians, the Armenians, the Georgians, the Circassians, the Greeks, etc. That’s why there is a wide choice of restaurants with national cuisines. For those who visit the city for the first time I’d recommend to visit the Theater Square with splash fountains. Держи топик. Как пример!
