WASHINGTON

1. Washington, the capital of the United States, is situated on the Potomac River in the District of Columbia. The district is a piece of land ten miles square and it doesn’t belong to any one state but to all the states.

2. Washington is not the largest city of the United States. It is not as large as New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit or Los Angles. It has a population of 601,000 people.

Washington is a one-industry city. That industry is government. Other American cities exist for a variety of reasons: New York is a centre of finance; New Orleans deals with cotton; Chicago will sell you wheat. But Washington is to be the seat of the government of nation.

3.  Washington has many historical places. The largest and the tallest among the buildings is the Capitol with its Hall of Representatives and Senate Chamber. It rises in the very centre of the city – a big white dome standing on a circle of pillars. Washington is the most unusual city of America. There are no sky-scrapers here because no other building must be taller than the Capitol.

4. Not far from the Capitol is the Library of Congress, the largest library in the States. It contains more than 13 million books, more than 19 million manuscripts, including the personal papers of the USA presidents. In Washington there is the White House, a two-storey white building, home of the president. All American presidents except George Washington had lived in the White House.

5. There are some important museums and places of interest in Washington. For example the Washington Monument, which looks like a very big pencil, the Jefferson Memorial and Lincoln Memorial. A. Linkoln was the sixteenth President of the USA, the author of the Emancipation Proclamation, which gave freedom to Negroes in America.

There are five universities in Washington. Thousands of tourists visit Washington every day to see the capital of the United States of America.
