A. TEXT

My Native Town*

I was born very far from Moscow, in the city of Vla­ divostok. My native town is said to be the Eastern sea gateway to Russia. It is situated on the Japanese sea shore,

on the edge of a long and

narrow peninsula.

The

city

houses are running up from

the water brim to

the

tops

of a few hills Thus one has

to climb the streets while

going up and descend them while walking down.

the

The city looks yery fine

if you gaze at it

from

Gold Horn Bay1. It forms a natural amphitheatre decorated with snow-white buildings.

The town was founded in 1860. In those days there

had been a taiga everywhere and a

lot of

beasts of prey

in it.

 

 

 

Up to now there is in the city the Eagle Hill2, the

Tiger Hill3 and so on. You may be sure

that

no eagle

flies down to town any longer and

tigers

can

sometimes

be met with only in the depths of the Ussuri Taiga. Vladivostok is a bustling city nowadays. Its streets,

shops, cinemas are full of people from early morning till

late

at night. The population has already grown

up to

450,000. Among its residents there are lots of

Russians

and

Ukrainians. Formerly it had been populated

by

quite

a number of Chinese and Koreans.

 

 

 

The city thoroughfare is Lenin Street running parallel

to the seashore. Lenin Street is lined with nice

fourand

five-storied houses. The best stores, the city drama theatre and a few cinemas are also here.

* See Vocabulary pp. 23— 25,

The transport facilities4 are good enough: there are a number of tramlines, buslines, passenger launches5 taking people across the Gold Horn Bay and a suburban electric train.
