I live in Taraz. It is one of the largest cities of Kazakhstan. It lies at the junction of the Talas River and the Turk-Sib Railway.

Taraz is one of the oldest cities of Kazakhstan. The first settlement appeared in the Talas River valley about twenty centuries ago. The ancient city of Taraz flourished as a stop along the Silk Road until it was destroyed by Mongol armies in the 13th century. About five centuries later, a new town called Auliye-Ata was established here. During its long history the town had different names and the last change was made in 1997 when Zhambyl became Taraz.

Now the population of the city is about 350,000 people. The modern city has large phosphate-processing works; a large power station; sugar, leather, and footwear factories; and a wool-washing plant.

I think Taraz is a beautiful city and an interesting place to visit. There are mosques, mausoleums and museums here. We have three universities and a lot of colleges and schools. There are also sports clubs and a large stadium, cinemas and one of the most beautiful buildings of our city – Regional Drama Theatre.

I love my city.

                                                       Мой город

Я живу в Таразе. Это один из крупнейших городов Казахстана. Он расположен у пересечения реки Талас и Туркcиба.

Тараз - один из древнейших городов Казахстана. Первое поселение появилось в долине реки Талас около двадцати веков назад. Древний Тараз процветал как город-остановка на Великом шелковом пути, пока не был разрушен монгольскими войсками в 13 веке. Спустя пять веков здесь был основан новый город под названием Аулие-Ата. За свою долгую историю город имел разные названия, и последнее изменение произошло в 1997 году, когда Жамбыл стал Таразом.

Сейчас население города составляет около 350 000 человек. Современный город имеет крупные фосфатоперерабатывающие заводы; большую электростанцию; сахарный завод, кожевенный завод, обувная и шерстомойная фабрики.

Я думаю, что Тараз - красивый город и интересное место для посещения. Здесь есть мечети, мавзолеи и музеи. У нас есть три университета и много колледжей и школ. Есть также спортивные клубы и большой стадион, кинотеатры и одно из самых красивых зданий нашего города - Областной драмтеатр.

Я люблю мой город.

Everything or almost everything has a beginning, a middle and an end. Nobody will argue with this. However, when starting to do something, we often start from the middle (or even from the end), completely forgetting about the beginning. Why?

Because, as a rule, both the beginning and the end are a ritual that carries no meaning other than symbolic. The meaning of the action usually lies in the middle. And the rest is like a wrapper, like a packaging container, so that it doesn't "break" ... We, not respecting the ritual, not seeing any benefit in it, like in a packaging container, we often go straight to the middle of the case. We believe that performing the ritual is not necessary at all.What is the ritual of the beginning and the end? This is usually: 1) greeting, 2) gratitude, 3) appeal for invisible help to the Higher powers ... Are there any more examples? These are enough for now.

You can, of course, shout from the doorway: “Give me money! (information, goods) "... And you can first ... say hello, or something. You can, having received money (information, goods), immediately run on about your business, or you can ... thank and say goodbye properly.

This is also understandable and primitive. But in fact, we often neglect even this.

We do not have time, we save time - we immediately go "to the heart of the matter." However, a proverb was created especially for such "time-saving" ones: "If you hurry, you will make people laugh!"
