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.
Dnipro is the leading business, industrial, scientific and cultural center of Southeastern Ukraine.
I really like the city, it is very beautiful, cozy and diverse with museums, fountains, very beautiful churches, theaters, parks and playgrounds. For example: Bridge City, Passage, Caravan, Our Truth, Babylon and many more. The history of Dnepropetrovsk is very rich. From time immemorial, the area where Dnepropetrovsk is now located has had ancient settlements since the Paleolithic times. After the formation of Zaporizhzhya Sich in the XVI century, these lands became actively populated, here began to appear villages, farms and cities. The most famous city of the first half of the 16th century was the city of Samar, the old name of Samar, which was located on the outskirts of the present village of Shevchenko at the mouth of the Samara River. Later, the Cossacks built the new town of Novy Kaydak, and where Samar used to be, in 1688 built the Bogorodetsky Fortress. In 1775, the Zaporozhye Cossacks were liquidated and its territory divided between the two provinces of Azov and Novorossiysk. In 1776 Catherine the Second founded the center of the Azov province, which was called Ekaterinoslav. The new town on the River Kilchen did not last long, in terms of geology it was a bad location. Only in 1784, on January 22, the second Katerynoslav was founded near the Dnieper River, it was originally planned that the city would become the "Third Capital of Russia". During the visit of Catherine, in May 1787, the city officially became known as Catherine. However, the location of the new city was also unsuccessful, with difficulties in water supply, so the city center moved west down to the Dnieper River, where the Cossack settlement of Polovitsa lived. In 1790 the city acquired its original location, and to this day it is the center of Dnepropetrovsk. Today our city is undergoing a revival. After a number of renovations, the old buildings were renovated, the city center is gradually becoming a new metropolis, and new airlines have opened, connecting the city with the world. Dnipropetrovsk is famous not only for its architecture and industry, but also as a center for new technologies and scientific thought. Noisy narrow streets, beautiful wide avenues, parks. Dnepropetrovsk is unique in its picturesque promenades and bridges. In the center of the city is the Taras Shevchenko Drama Theater, it was founded in 1919 as the first national theater in Ukraine. Like the Shevchenko Theater, the Gorky Theater has a history. In 1927, this theater first found its audience, and in 1932 the Dnipropetrovsk Russian Drama Theater was named after Maxim Gorky. The Opera and Ballet Theater was founded in 1931, in 1941 it was evacuated to Krasnoyarsk. After the war, the theater officially ceased operations, but was revived in 1974, December 26, 1974 - the first season opened. There is also a children's theater in the city, a one-act "Creek" theater. Going back to the history of the city, you can learn a lot by visiting the Jawornytsky Historical Museum. Dmytro Yavornytsky has collected thousands of unique exhibits and objects of the old life of the Zaporozhye Cossacks, from weapons to embroideries and dresses of that time. The museum can tell about the life of Zaporozhye Cossacks and Zaporozhye Sich.
