Sometimes I meet him after school
He isn't jogging now
Miss smith is driving taxi
John and I are going to school
They never work on computer after dinner

to biggest cities of the world, such as New York, London or Moscow, my native
town is rather small. It is difficult to find it on the map, but it has a great
meaning for me because it is the place where I was born, where I’ve got my
first impressions of life, its beauties and sorrows.
I was born in Sergiyev Posad, a town with population of 110,000 in the
North-East of the Moscow region, in the very heart of the Russian Federation.
It takes about an hour to get from my town to Moscow by bus or by train.
Sergiyev Posad has a long history. It grew in the 15th century around one of
the greatest of Russian monasteries, the Trinity Lavra which was established by
Saint Sergius of Radonezh in 1337. The Lavra is undoubtedly the major local
sight.
Town status was granted to Sergiyev Posad in 1742. Its name, alluding to St.
Sergius, has strong religious connotations. That’s why the Communist
authorities changed it first to just Sergiyev in 1919, and then to Zagorsk in
1930, in memory of the revolutionary Vladimir Zagorsky. The original name was
restored in 1991.
In spite of all the misfortunes, most old houses in its centre, including the
Lavra and some other Christian Orthodox temples, have been preserved.
International and domestic tourism, associated with the Golden Ring, plays a
key role in the local economy. There are also an important factory and a museum
of toys in Sergiyev Posad.
The Lavra is the site of the Moscow Theological Academy, which includes the
Moscow Theological Seminary, the Regency School, and the School of Iconography.
Yet Sergiyev Posad has no university.
It was hardly possible to find high-quality private tutors in the town or
somewhere nearby, so I had to work hard at my English and prepare to exams all
on my own. I still hope I'll successfully pass them all.
Wherever I study, live and work, I will always remember my home Sergiyev Posad
and come to see my family as often as possible.</span>

As you you know Moscow it the capital of Russia and there are a lot of our interesting places which show our tradition. First of all I want you to tell about "The red square" in the center of Moscow.
