What is this poem about?
I love you deeply, dear land:
Your hills and rivers,
Sand on strand.
Your birds in trees,
Your beasts and fish
Your sunrise,
In a splendid sight
Which give me always such delight!

My native city Rostov-on-Don.
I would like to talk about my native city Rostov-on-Don.
It has a very interesting history. Rostov-on-Don was founded on December 15, 1749 as a
customhouse was set up on the Temernik River to control the trade with Turkey. Not far from the
customhouse there grew the fortress. It was named after Russian metropolitan Saint Dimitry of
Rostov, a bishop from the old Northern town of Rostov the Great. Later in 1806 the name was
changed to Rostov and then to Rostov-on-Don.
Rostov-on-Don is situated on the right bank of the river Don. This river is one of the largest rivers in
Europe. The works of Alexander Pushkin , Mikhail Sholokhov are associated with the river Don.
The South “capital” of Russia – Rostov with its population of more than 1 million people is a major
administrative, cultural, scientific, educational and industrial center. The city is a major
transportation hub of Southern Russia, it is called “The Gateway to the Caucasus”.
There are a lot of theatres and museums in Rostov. It is also called a green town because there are
a lot of parks here.
I love my city very much. It is very beautiful. I was born here and I am proud of it. If you have not
been to Rostov you have lost much.

Proverbs and saying about native places.
East or West home is best
There is no place like home.
Home, sweet home.
My house is my castle.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
Love me, love my dog.
A good name is better than riches.
A good deed is never lost.
An honest tale speeds best being plainly told.
As the tree so the fruit.
A sound mind in a sound body.
All doors open to courtesy.

My native city is Rostov-on-Don. It is the capital of the Don area. It was founded in
1749. It is situated on the right bank of the river Don. In the past Rostov was a small
town with small population. But now the territory of Rostov-on-Don is 380 square
kilometres and the population is more than one million people. Our city is a big
industrial, scientific and cultural centre in the South of Russia. The plant “Rostselmash”
is known not only in our country but abroad as well. The largest scientific and
educational establishment is the Rostov State University, which was founded in 1915
and now has more then ten faculties. In Rostov there are four theatres: Gorky Drama
Theatre, Musical Comedy, Puppet Show, Theatre of Young Spectators. The Gorky
Theatre is surrounded by a large park named after the October Revolution. It is one of
many parks and gardens which make Rostov a green town and where Rostovites like to
walk on a nice sunny day. During the Second World War Rostov-on-Don was occupied
twice (1941 and 1942). The war cost Rostovites huge losses in life. That is why in the
city there are a lot of monuments devoted to the war years and people who gave their
lives for our peaceful life. Rostov-on-Don is a large transport centre. It is not only a big
knot of railways and airways but it is also the port of five seas (the Baltic, the White, the
Caspian, the Black and the Sea of Asov). Nowadays Rostov-on-Don as many other cities
and villages in Russia is undergone the process of economical changes. Factories and
plants can hardly survive in the conditions of deep economic crisis. But we hope that in
some years people will be able to overpass all the difficulties and Rostov-on-Don will
occupy its place of one of the biggest industrial cities of Russia.
