I was born in Yekaterinburg. It is my native city. And I think I'm very lucky, because it is a great city!
Yekaterinburg is the fourth-largest city in Russia. Its population is almost 1.5 million.
Yekaterinburg has been a major industrial center since its foundation. And now it is one of the largest financial and business centers in Russia as well.
Yekaterinburg is a modern city. There are skyscrapers, expocentres and malls here. Many buildings have amazing night illumination. The tallest building in Yekaterinburg is Iset Tower with a record height of 212.8 metres. It has 52 stories!
There are a lot of tourist attractions here such as Yekaterinburg Circus or B. Yeltsin's museum. There are many historic buildings, churches and temples.
Citizens have a great opportunity to be fit thanks to 400 gyms and 45 swimming pools. There are also modern stadiums. In 2018 Yekaterinburg hosted 4 matches of the FIFA World Cup.
What concerns me is the ecological situation in the city. City industry gives jobs and provides income, but it damages the environment. I hope the technologies of the future will help to solve this problem.
One more thing to mention is that our city definitely needs more than 9 metro stations.
I love my native city and I hope that in future it will be not only beautiful and prosperous but also clean.
Объяснение:
Я родился в Екатеринбурге. Это мой родной город. И я думаю, что мне очень повезло, потому что это отличный город!
Екатеринбург - четвертый по величине город России. Его население составляет почти 1,5 миллиона человек.
Екатеринбург с момента основания является крупным промышленным центром. А сейчас это один из крупнейших финансово-деловых центров России.
Екатеринбург - современный город. Здесь есть небоскребы, выставочные центры и торговые центры. Многие здания имеют потрясающее ночное освещение. Самым высоким зданием Екатеринбурга является Башня Исеть с рекордной высотой 212,8 метра. В нем 52 истории!
Здесь много достопримечательностей, таких как Екатеринбургский цирк или музей Б. Ельцина. Здесь много исторических зданий, церквей и храмов.
У горожан есть прекрасная возможность быть в форме благодаря 400 тренажерным залам и 45 бассейнам. Есть и современные стадионы. В 2018 году Екатеринбург принимал 4 матча чемпионата мира по футболу.
Меня беспокоит экологическая ситуация в городе. Городская промышленность создает рабочие места и приносит доход, но наносит ущерб окружающей среде. Я надеюсь, что технологии будущего решить эту проблему.
Еще стоит отметить, что нашему городу обязательно нужно более 9 станций метро.
Я люблю свой родной город и надеюсь, что в будущем он будет не только красивым и процветающим, но и чистым.
