I’m nineteen years old. I live in Rostov-on-Don and study in Rostov Pedagogical University. I’m fond of reading. Most of all I like stories by Adgar Alan Poe. I think his novels are very exiting. I also like to listen to the music. My favorite group is The Beatles.
I live in Rostov-on-Don. It’s a large city situated on the right and left banks of the river Don. Rostov stands on the border line between Europe and Asia.
Rostov was founded on December 15, 1749. Not far from the customhouse grew the fortress that got the name of a Russian metropolitan Dimitri Rostovsky. Later the name was changed to Rostov and later to Rostov-on-Don.
Rostov-on-Don is an administrative, cultural and industrial centre of the Rostov Region.
The city has rich cultural traditions.There are four theatres in the city: the Drama Theatre named after Maxim Gorky, the Musical theatre, the Theatre of Young Spectators and the Puppet theater.
