WASHINGTON, D.C.

Washington is the capital of the United States of America. It is situated in the District of Columbia. It's the world largest city. The population of the city is 900,000 people. Almost every public building, art gallery or government office you may want to see is in the North West quadrant; the other-quadrants are largely residential.

Washington was named after the first US president George Washington. He selected the place for the capital. It was founded in 1790. Since 1800, Washington D. C. has been the federal capital. The French engi¬neer, Pierre L'Enfant, designed the city.

Washington is humid year round because it, sits between two rivers, the Potomac and Anacostia. Washington shares the sweaty summers of Louisiana and the windy cold of the Northwest. One sea¬son, however, has to be seen Washington's cherry blossom time. Several thousand of these cherry-trees were given to Washington in 1912 by the City of Tokyo.

Washington was created to be the seat of government, of the USA. Washington's only industry is government. The White House, where the US President lives and works, the Capitol, the home of the US Congress, and the Supreme Court, are all in Washington, D.C. It is said that some three-quarters of the adult population in Washington, D.C., are wholly or indirectly in the administrative machine and the general process of government; they are either politicians, or civil servants, or suppliers of goods and services to such people. The city lacks a sufficiently large and sell-sustaining life of its own apart from politics.

Washington D. C. isn't like other cities of the USA. Washington is one of the most beautiful and unusual cities in the US. It has long wide avenues, gardens, beautiful parks. In the very centre of it the huge dome of the Capitol rises. The 535 members of the Congress meet here to discuss the nation's affairs. It's easy to get lost in these huge buildings, full of paintings and statues. The building got its name from the temple in Rome. The Capitol consists of a central building crowned by a great dome (a big white dome standing on a circle of pillars) and connected at each end by galleries with a large wing, one of which contains the Senate Chamber, and the other the Hall of Representa¬tives. Beneath the dome is a monumental hall called the Rotunda, adorned with works or art relating to American history.

Not far from the Capitol is the library of Congress, the largest library in the States. The Library of Congress "the biggest existing-library", you are told, contains more than 13 million books in various languages, more than 19 mi11ion manuscripts, including the personal papers of all but the more recent presidents and many other items, such as maps, prints, recordings and musical scores.

Lafayette Square is located immediately in front of the White House.

There is one more well known building in Washington — Pentagon. It is the residence of the US Military department. It is situated in the sub-urbs to the south of the Potomac.

Washington is a large scientific and cultural centre. There are some important museums in Washington, where you can see all kinds of things: famous paintings and sculptures, the dresses of Presidents’ wives, the original of the Declaration of Independence, the largest blue diamond in the world, etc. There are many theatres, re¬search institutes, five universities, the National Academy of Science there.

There are no skyscrapers in Washington, because they would hide the city's many monuments from view and because no other building must be taller than the Capitol. No building in the city may be more than 40 meters tall.

Thousands of tourists visit Washington every day. People from all parts of the US come to see their capital.
