My Place in the World

Hello! My name’s Alex. I’d like to tell you about my place in the world. I live in ~~the~~ Minsk. This is my house. My address is house Number 90, Kalinovsky Street. My house is new and very beautiful. It is very clean around my house. The whole city of Minsk is clean and beautiful. There are lots of blocks of flats in my neighbourhood, a few shops and a post-office. We have a very kind and generous neighbours.

My classmates are great too: helpful and cheerful. I usually go to school on trolley-bus. I love my city! Minsk is famous of its sports palaces and the library. Tourists from all over Belarus and from other countries come to Minsk to see them.

My country is beautifull! Thick forests and green meadows covers Belarus. There are many blue rivers and lakes in my country. I would also like to see so many places in the world: hot and dry deserts, green grasslands, high mountains and wet and dark rainforests! I’d like to look at koalas in the wild: they are cute and funny! They munch leaves so slow! Koalas are my favourites.

Belarus is an European country. If you look at the map, to the east of Belarus you can see Russia. Ukraine is to the south of my country. To the north we can find Latvia and Lituania. Poland is to the west of Belarus.

The people of Belarus are hard-working and friendly. They speak Russian and Belarusian. There are more and more people in Belarus who can speak English good too. They use English language when they work, travel and talk to their friends from other countries. The people of my country like to travel a lot. Belarus is in the Europe, so many Belarusians go round the continent of Europe on holidays. They like visiting Lithuania, Latvia, Ukraine, Russia, Italy, Germany, France, Spain and other countries. Connections between people make the world a happy place.
