In the process of getting to know each other, one way or another, there comes a moment when the interlocutors, having finished with pleasantries, talk about what worries them.

The British are then concerned about a person’s origins, namely, where he is from, what country he is from, and even from what city. Therefore, before traveling abroad, it would be a good idea to remember the basic phrases that will help you write a description of the city in English. right moment. If this topic is necessary only for writing an essay, it doesn’t matter. The logic for constructing the description remains the same in both cases.

• A beautiful introduction is half the success

In the case of school essay The more beautiful and flowery the introduction is, the higher the chances of success. To do this, you can use both and quotes from famous writers about the house. The most famous - “An Englishman’s home is his castle”. You can use others, for example: “There’s no place like home”, “East or West – home is best”. In live communication this is all unnecessary. You can and should start with the most banal introductory words “Well”, “And so...” and so on. Considering that beautiful turns of phrase are highly valued by the British, one can say something sublime, for example, “Ever since I was a child I’ve thought that my town is the best place on Earth. It is the birthplace of many famous people and is a true cultural center of our region”– “Since childhood, I thought that my city was the most best place on the ground. Many famous people were born here, and our city is a real cultural center.”

• Description: simple and tasteful

As with any storytelling, we start by voicing our own opinions. It's obvious that you love your city, but it's worth saying. The more personal assessment in the story, the better.

A description of a city in English is a kind of presentation, so be sure to mention famous people who lived or worked in your city. Don't remember any? It’s okay, limit yourself to a general phrase about the many poets who created and continue to create in the city. For example:

“I like my town and I think it’s quite natural. In my opinion, everyone loves his place just because it gave him the best hours in life – hours with his family. I am not an exception as you see. My town is not very big, but a lot of famous people lived and worked there. Among them there are local poets and actors” – “I love my city and I think it’s natural. It seems to me that everyone loves their home first of all because they spent their time there best watch– hours with family. As you can see, I am no exception. My city is small, but many people lived and worked in it famous people. Among them are many local actors and poets.”

• Don't go overboard with details!

When describing the city, do not overdo it with embellishment. It will be enough to say about the size of the city, about its characteristic features and attractions. In some cases, it is possible and necessary to point out that the city is quite old, with its own history and traditions.

“My town is not very special but it has its own traditions and a long history. It was built 200 years ago and is named after ……. We have many flowers and fountains in the center of the town. The streets are wide and clean. You can see a lot of shops there. There’s also an old house where……lived and worked” – “My city is the most ordinary, but has its own long history and traditions. It was built 200 years ago and named after...... The city center has many trees and fountains, its streets are wide and clean. There are also many shops in the city. Among the attractions we can highlight the old house, where... lived and worked."
