According to historical records, Moscow was founded back in 1147. And thanks for that, we must say to Yuri Dolgoruky. The name of the city comes from the name of the river that flows through it. Over the centuries-old history, the city was conquered more than once, burned to the ground, but it rose from the ashes and rebuilt again. And today, its beauty literally enchants the eye, striking the country's inhabitants and numerous tourists.
It cannot be said that Moscow is rich in art galleries, museums, unusual temples. Glistening with domes in the bright sun, churches pour a melodious bell ringing around, causing delight in the soul. But when I want to relax and enjoy nature, I go to the parks. Fortunately, there are a lot of them in the capital: Gorky Park, Krasnaya Presnya, Izmailovsky, Lianozovsky, etc. It is so nice to sit next to a fountain or a pond under the canopy of green crowns and watch the graceful white swans.
Moscow is a wonderful city, forever remaining in the heart of any person who was lucky enough to be born, live or just visit it. And I really want him to live forever, decorating our vast world.
Незаметно для себя я увлёкся чтением. Но читал я лишь про путешествия, книжки по школьной программе мне читать было нисколько не интересно. Они неизбежно загоняли в строго определённые рамки мои фантазии. Ложась спать, я не мог уснуть, не помечтав хоть чуть- чуть. Мечтал я всегда об одном — не сегодня-завтра отправиться в путешествие, и непременно по воде. Неоднократно я представлял себе, что неторопливо плыву на лодке по реке. Лодку плавно покачивает и… на этом месте я засыпал. А то мечталось мне, что я капитан парохода. Шторм. Я стою наверху, на мостике, и неустрашимо отдаю приказания. Какие приказания, я не совсем представлял. Постояв немного наверху, я уходил в каюту и… засыпал. Береговая жизнь была мне неинтересна — меня в мечтах тянуло на воду.
