Every person has a homeland. In the broadest sense of the word, this is the country in which we were born and live. For each of us, it starts small: a home where we are surrounded by loved ones. A hometown where we met our first friends and learned to value friendship. The home street on which we go to school. The hometown that KARAGANDA has become for most of us.

My favorite city is Karaganda. I grew up and was born here. I really love my city for its beauty. There are many beautiful places in our city. The main avenue of my city is Bukhar-Zhyrau. There are many sights of the city: the Bukhar-Zhyrau monument at the station square, the city circus, the Akzholtai ice palace, the Nurken Abdirov sports palace and the monument to the same hero. In the center of the city there is the Miners' Palace of Culture. The miner's work is very hard. My grandfather was a miner. It is a dangerous but honorable profession. Karaganda is famous for its coal. Our city is a city of miners' labor. The history of our city is inextricably linked with the history of the development of the Karaganda coal basin. The formation of Karaganda took place in very difficult conditions. Back in the 19th century, there was nothing on the site of the city. The wind drove feather-grass waves across the wide endless steppes. In 1833, a young shepherd Appak Baizhanov found pieces of coal in the Karagandybasy tract, south of the Nura River. Hunger, disease, lack of equipment, poor living conditions did not prevent the heroic builders of our city. He grew, got stronger and developed.

Now Karaganda is a modern and beautiful city. There are many parks and squares, many buildings and residential buildings are under construction. The city is growing and developing.

Every time I am far away, and it is at such moments that you begin to miss your beloved city, I remember Karaganda. When you return back to your hometown, you experience pleasant, joyful feelings from meeting him. I love my city!
