  2. MY CITY NOVOSIBIRSK Novosibirsk- the capital of Siberia Novosibirsk is one of the biggest cities in Russia and the third largest city after Moscow and St. Petersburg ,and it is the biggest city behind the Ural. It’s situated right in the middle of Russia. The city is on bank of the Ob river. Day, when the bridge across the Ob river was started, it is considered as day when Novosibirsk was found.

The Youth Theatre Globes is situated in the centre of Novosibirsk. It isn’t far from Chapel. The Globe today is a huge building, it has two halls. Andrey Bondarenko

  3. MY CITY NOVOSIBIRSK At the end of 19th century the builders of the Trans-Siberian Railway were gradually pushing through the boundless steppes and trackless forests of Siberia towards the East. At the banks of the mighty Siberian River Ob, they came to a halt, for it had to be bridged. Nikolai Garin-Mikhailovsky, the leader of the surveying group, himself both a great engineer and a novelist, was the man who selected the site for the huge railway bridge to be built. He was the founder of Novosibirsk and today one of the finest squares in the city bears his name. Novosibirsk is a young city and perhaps the most outstanding aspect of its short life is its rate of growth. It took 750 years for the population of Moscow to reach the million mark, Kiev 700 years and New York about two hundred, but Novosibirsk has been in existence only sixty years. Now population of Novosibirsk is 1,5 millions people. Novosibirsk is the third city in Russia. In Novosibirsk are many famous sights: Railway Station, the Siberian Theatre of Opera and Ballet, the Institute of Rail Transport Engineers, the Administration of Siberian Railway, the little Railway in Zaeltsovsky park, Zoo, the square of Heroes of revolution and Chapel. Railway Station is situated on the square of Nikolai Garin-Mikhailovsky. The first performance of the Siberian Theatre of Opera and Ballet was given on Victory Day in 1945 to celebrate the surrender of Nazi Germany. Novosibirsk Zoo is one of the biggest and famous zoos in the world. The general street of Novosibirsk is Red Aveue. There is the city’s Chapel. This place is the center of Russia. RomanSpitsin

The architectural shape of Novosibirsk varies every day: individual projects of buildings, apartment houses and cottages. All lanterns and all lamps, which are in the street, switch on at night. Signboards are decorated by small multi-colored bulbs. I love my city very much! Novosibirsk is in the center of Western Siberia. The city is situated on the fast and wide river Ob, which divides him on two parts. In the winter the river freezes, and there is an ice small town at the coast. There are many children in the river bank and they have fun. In the summer everyone go to a beach to bathe and sunbathe. It is possible to go by the steam-ship to Small Island.

  11. MY CITY OTTAWA Parliament Hill By Matt Grenander Parliament Hill is located in downtown Ottawa, Canada. The best known building is the Centre Block, with the Peace Tower, a national symbol. It is decorated in the inside very richly. The total area of all the buildings (there’s quite a few) measures 112,360 square metres. The structure started construction in 1867. The current Parliament Buildings were built between 1865 and 1927. The West Block was built in 1865 and the East Block in two stages in 1867 and 1910. The Library of Parliament was opened in 1876, and the original Centre Block completed in 1878. In spring of 2006, major inside and outside renovations of the Library of Parliament were completed. The renovations, which began in 2002, are the first ones since quite a while. The reading room of the library is open to the public and is considered, by some, to be the most beautiful room in Canada. The Great Fire of 1916 The Center Block burned in 1916; the edifice was entirely destroyed except for the Library of Parliament, whose treasures were saved by a librarian who was able to close its massive doors. The Centre Block was immediately rebuilt, being completed in 1920, with the Peace Tower, commemorating the end of the First World War, being completed in 1927. The new structure was designed by John Pearson. The Peace Tower is the most outstanding part of the buildings. It replaced the Victoria Tower, which got burned in the 1916 fire. Like the entire interior and exterior of the building, the tower is decorated with approximately 370 stone carvings, including gargoyles, grotesques, and freizes.)

  12. MY CITY OTTAWA Ottawa By Nicholas Molinari Ottawa is the capital of Canada, the fourth largest city in Canada and second largest city in the province of Ontario. In 1858, Ottawa was named capital of the confederated provinces by Queen Victoria. It was chosen because it was more easily defendable, a concern at the time as the American Civil War was taking place. It was also close to the two cultural centers, Toronto and Montréal and easily accessible to western trade routes via water. There are many bike paths in Ottawa. Everyday, there are rollerbladers, bikers, joggers or families walking. We (Ottawans) have the longest outdoor skating rink in the world. It is the 202 km long Rideau Canal. 18 kilometers of it was manmade. Construction began in 1826 and was completed in 1832. This is Ottawa’s flag since 2000. The “O” in the middle symbolizes both the maple leaf (representing Canada) and the peace tower (symbolizing Ottawa). In 2005, the population of Ottawa was estimated at 859,704. Canada’s national languages are French and English. It is particularly important to learn both languages in Ottawa because it is a government city.

  13. MY CITY OTTAWA In the city of Ottawa there are a lot of places to visit. Hear are some of them: Parliament hill, Rideau Canal, the Canadian museum of nature, the Rideau hall, the national art gallery, the royal Canadian mint, the chateau Laurier the national archives and the Canadian virtual museum. Parliament Hill: This is the most important building in Canada. This is where all the debates take place. The debates take place in the House of Commons. This is also the place where deputies (people that work in the House of Commons) propose laws. After the deputies propose a bill they debate on it then if the supporters of the bill win they send it to the senate. Then the bill is passed to the Governor-General and the bill becomes law. A library is located in the central block of the building. It is used by the MPs and Senators. A few years ago in 1916 a devastating fire destroyed parliament hill. The only part that survived the fire was the library. When a librarian detected smoke he ordered the massive iron doors that separated the library from the rest of the building closed. The library survived the fire, but a few weeks later they had to repair it because the fire had done quite a bit of damage. The library now is once again opened to tourists who would like to visit it. The Canadian Museum of Nature: This museum contains different animals such as reptiles, birds, fish and amphibians. They also have a nice stock of insects that includes wasps, beetles and butterflies. This is a place where tourists can learn what lives and lived in Canada. They have exhibitions that take you back billions of years ago to when dinosaurs roamed the earth and to the ice age where mammoths lived. They have exhibitions on plants in Canada and Canadian food. This museum would be a great place to learn about life in Canada. The National Art Gallery: This is the most famous art gallery in Canada. There are a lot of different varieties of artwork: abstract paintings, portraits and sculptures. Some of the paintings stand out a lot and some don’t stand out at all. Some paintings use happy colors like red, yellow, orange, and bright green. Some paintings use sad colors such as purple, blue, and grey. This is a place where you can learn a lot about art and artists Canadian and worldwide. Chateau Laurier: This is a very famous and nice hotel/restaurant. It is located downtown Ottawa next to parliament Hill and overlook the canal. The restaurant has very high ceilings and comfortable seating, and serves gourmet meals. The service is superior.

  20. MY CITY OTTAWA Terry Fox Terry Fox was born in Winnipeg and raised in Port Coquitlam. He liked sports a lot and he won many medals. When he was 18, he was diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma, also known as bone cancer, so he had to have almost his entire leg amputated in 1997. While he was in the hospital, he was emotionally touched by the other people with cancer, just like him. Many of them were only children. He decided to run across Canada, and to get money for the unlucky ones with cancer. There was a rock path at his house. He ran for 18 months at his own house on the rock path, and in total he ran for over 5,000 km at his house, but he knew he would be running much more when he actually ran to get money for Cancer Research. He called this run The Marathon of Hope. Terry started running in St. Johns, Newfoundland on April 12, 1980, and there was a little fanfare to celebrate his leave. At the beginning of his run, it was difficult to get any attention (they had no idea he was running for cancer research). He ran 26 miles a day on average, which is 42 km. That’s about a marathon a day! He ran through the Atlantic provinces of Canada, Quebec and finally Ontario. On September 1st, after he had run long and hard for 143 days (which is a total of 3,339 km) Terry Fox had to postpone his run forever. He postponed his run just outside of Thunder Bay. He died on June 18, 1981 when he was 22 years old. His death saddened many Canadians. Up to now, which is the 21st century, we have collected 400 million $ for cancer research. Cha-Ching! $ $ that’s a lot of money. Terry would be so proud. We could soon find out a cure for cancer, other than the current radioactivity and others.

  22. MY CITY OTTAWA FAMOUS PEOPLE Terry Fox was born on July 28, 1958 in Winnipeg, Manitoba a province in Midwestern Canada. Fox liked many sports since he was a young boy and his favourite was diving. As a teenager he won numerous medals in diving and swim competitions and impressed many with his stamina and endurance. At the age of 18, he was a victim of cancer and had to have his leg amputated. Realising that we needed more money for cancer research Terry decided to make people aware by creating the “Marathon of Hope”. His goal was to run across Canada, 42 kilometres a day, spreading the word. Terry raised over 100 million dollars and ran for 18 months. His friend Doug was in a van beside him the whole run. Unfortunately he could not finish his run. On Sep. 1st 1980, the cancer spread to his lungs. He was rushed to a hospital. Terry Fox is still remembered for his achievements and will be for many years to come. Each year students across the country participate in mini-runs or walks raising money for cancer in his name. Terry Fox By Nicholas Molinari

  23. MY CITY OTTAWA Emily Carr By : Thomas Ham Emily Carr was a famous Canadian painter. She was born in Victoria, British Colombia 1871. As a young girl, she discovered that she liked walking in the woods more than playing with other children. It seems like she liked animals because she had ducks and chickens, and she even domesticated a crow. Later on she had several dogs and a pet monkey too! As she became a woman, Emily began to go on longer and longer trips into the uncharted forests to paint and draw what she saw. Some of her paintings reflect the fact that she admired the First Nations people. When she first tried to paint totem poles, she thought she wasn’t good enough, so she went to France to get more training. The one problem with the training in France was that it made all her paintings unpopular because of the bright colors. That was a problem because she was trying to sell her paintings as documentary work. When she couldn’t get money from the government for her paintings, she decided to run a boarding house, raise sheepdogs, make pottery, and give art lessons. By the late 1930s, when she was in her late 60s, she began having heart attacks. This caused her to stop traveling but she stayed at home and wrote books of her life and travels. Her best work was between 1928 and her death. She died in Victoria, British Colombia 1945.

  24. MY CITY OTTAWA Famous Canadians Wayne Gretzky: He is one of the most famous hockey players in the NHL. He became a very successful hockey player at a young age. He lead the Edmonton Oilers to the Stanley cup. He is now retired and no one is allowed to wear the number 99 because it was his number and they want to keep it to remember Mr. Gretzky. He now is the owner of the hockey team the Phoenix Coyotes. Alexander Graham Bell: Mr. Bell was the inventor of many inventions: metal detector, photophone, hydrofoil; but the most famous one is the telephone. The year after he invented the telephone, he started the company Bell which became the most powerful telephone company in the world. Terry Fox: He is probably the most famous Canadian hero. He became famous by running across Canada with one leg because he lost his other leg to cancer. He tried to run across Canada to raise money for cancer research but he didn’t finish. When he reached Thunder Bay Ontario, the cancer struck again at his lungs and he died. However, his courage and effort has succeeded in bringing awareness worldwide Page1
