Алтай — волшебный, сказочный край. Впервые попав сюда, даже самый чёрствый человек не сможет остаться равнодушным к красотам природы. Каждый здесь найдет то, что придется ему по душе. Снежные пики, устремляющиеся в облака или бескрайние равнины, звонкие ручейки и реки или грохочущие водопады.
Altai is a magical, fairyland. Having come here for the first time, even the most callous person cannot remain indifferent to the beauties of nature. Everyone here will find something that will please him. Snowy peaks, rushing into the clouds or endless plains, ringing streams and rivers or thundering waterfalls.
MY STREET
I live in a big city. I like living in such a big industrial and cultural centre. There are a lot of interesting things here that you can find only in a big town.
And I am also happy that the street I live in is not a central one. We live in a new residential district. We moved to a new flat 3 years ago. It's very nice to live here because our street is rather quiet. The street is wide. It is not so busy and noisy as central streets. You can not see so much traffic here. Though there are enough trolleybuses and buses to get to the Underground station if you wish to go to the centre of the city or to the Central Park.
The street is very green. It is lined with a lot of trees. And near the houses you can see flowers and bushes which decorate the yards so beautifully.
In our street you can find any shop you need. There are greengroceries, baker's shops and even flower-shops in the street. Not far from my house there is a nice department store.
I like my street. It's so nice to have a walk here in the evening after a busy day and we often do so with my friends. каккто так
