My name is Nikita. I'm 13 years old and I'm a secondary school student. My native town is Voronezh. Every year in September we celebrate a special holiday - the City Day. It usually falls on the third Saturday of the month. The holiday commemorates the date of city foundation. In my opinion Voronezh is a beautiful city of great importance for the country. Sometimes our History teacher lectures us about the history of the city. I know that it was founded in 1586 not far from the River Don. By the 17th century it was one of the most valuable trade centers of Russia. In the time of Peter the Great the city became famous as the cradle of the navy and merchant marine. The first remarkable event took place in 1860, when the monument to Peter I was established. At the end of the 19th century there were many new enterprises, plants, libraries, and theatres built in the city. One of the main educational institutions of the country, the Voronezh State University, was founded in 1918. Hopefully, in the future I will be studying there at the biological faculty. Today, our city is actively growing and developing. Surprisingly, the world’s first supersonic passenger aircraft Tu-144 was created here. Local citizens are fond of the City Day celebrations and I’m proud to be the part of it. Every year, my family and I participate in various festive events on this day. In the afternoon we observe the cheerful processions and parades or hear the speech of municipal authorities. I especially like the evening part, which is followed by the concert, featuring popular artists, and massive fireworks.

We all know that today our environment is endangered but not everyone knows how to deal with this situation. Because of our careless actions there are many kinds of pollution happening around. One of the most urgent problems of today’s society is littering, which causes water, soil and air pollution. Unfortunately, there are still many people who don’t know how to cope with this problem. 
Not all the wastes are biodegradable, some of them need to be recycled. Nowadays we have plenty of factories where they recycle rubbish such as plastic, cloth, glass and so on. All we need to do is to separate glass, paper and plastic. By this we already do a great job and help our planet a lot. I know that there are some ecological organizations that arrange rubbish collection, they even make competitions in that. They are also here to teach people how to deal with wastes and make them aware how harmful it is for the environment. 
Every day people around the world use millions of plastic bags and bottles and then throw them away which is very harmful for soil. Instead of that we can use the same bags when we go shopping and not buy new ones, or refill bottles with water. People buy things they don’t need instead of giving a new life to the old ones. For example instead of buying shorts you can just cut your jeans, or you can use your old T-shirt for mopping the floor. You can give your clothes to second hand shops or buy clothes there yourself. We have so many unnecessary things at home, which then go to the rubbish bin. Instead of that everything can be given for charity or to your friends who will probably need these things. 
“Reduce, reuse, recycle” is a good rule for every person.
