Introduction

Arguments for living in the country

Arguments against living in the country

Conclusion

Air in the country is clean, there are many forests and fields in the country. People can spend much time in the open air. It’s very good for health. They work outside and spend their free time outdoors. That’s why country people are stronger and healthier, than people in towns and cities. They are kinder and friendlier too. People in the country know who lives the next door and can always help each other.

So it’s good to live in a village but on the other hand there are some problems.

I am an energetic and active person. I am outgoing and enjoy going to different places. It’s great to spend some time in the country in summer playing, swimming and riding a bike with your friends. In the rest of the time I prefer to live in town.

We live on planet Earth. It’s big and beautiful. There is much blue water and there is land too. People live on the continents. Some of them live in towns. Others live in villages.

But there are not many places to work in the country. There is only one school in a village. There are no buses or trams and you have to walk a lot. Sometimes it’s not very good, when the weather is rainy or cold. The roads are dirty and you can’t wear nice shoes. There are not many things to do in the country in rainy weather. It can be boring.

First it was a wooden fortress. Under Dmitry Donskoythe Kremlin was built of white stone. During the reignof Ivan III the walls of white stone were replaced by new red brick walls and towers. The Tsar invited Italian architects to construct the cathedrals. The Assumption Cathedral was built in 1475-1479 and all Russian Tsarsand Emperorswer crowned t h e r e .

The Archangel Cathedral was the burial place of the Russian Princesand Tsars. The Annunciation Cathedral was built in 1484.It is famous for the icons painted by Andrey Rublev and his apprentices.

Ivan the Great is the Bell Tower, one of the most remarkable structures of the 16-th century. It rises in the centre of the Kremlin. It unites all the Kremlin Cathedrals into a majestic ensemble.

On the stone pedestal at the foot of the Bell Towerthere is a Tsar-Bell — the largest bell in the world. N o tfar from it one can see a Tsar-Cannon.

Another fine example of Russian architecture is the Faceted Palace. It was built in 1487-91.

One of the well-known Kremlin museums is the Armoury Chamber. It was built in

1851. The famous golden cap of Monomach, the first Russian imperial crown of Catherine II, made of gilt silver and many other precious historical items are exhibited there.
