Astana is the capital of Kazakhstan. It is located in the Central part of Kazakhstan, on the Yessil river. The population is over 800 thousand people. The capital Astana is famous for its modern buildings. The most popular are the monument of Baiterek, the circus, and the Duman entertainment centre. Astana has a problem with roads. There are a lot of cars on the streets. That's why this city is noisy and crowded.

Astana is not a centre of tourism, but is a cultural centre and business centre but it is visited by many tourists. There are many cinemas, theatres and museums. Most of the wide streets are located in the city centre.

In Astana, I'm going to go to the most exciting places Baiterek and the Duman. Also I'm going to visit the Nur Astana mosque and I'm going to go to the Palace of Independence.

I would like to visit Astana again and again.

Астана-столица Казахстана. Он расположен в центральной части Казахстана, на реке Есиль. Население составляет более 800 тысяч человек. Столица Астана славится своими современными зданиями. Самые популярные из них-памятник Байтереку, цирк и развлекательный центр "Думан". В Астане есть проблема с дорогами. На улицах очень много машин. Вот почему в этом городе так шумно и многолюдно.

Астана-это не туристический центр, а культурный и деловой центр, но ее посещают многие туристы. Здесь есть много кинотеатров, театров и музеев. Большинство широких улиц расположено в центре города.

В Астане я собираюсь поехать в самые интересные места Байтерек и Думан. Кроме того, я собираюсь посетить мечеть "Нур Астана" и посетить Дворец Независимости.

Я хотел бы снова и снова посещать Астану.

Many young people can and do dress so that sometimes they are slightly different from each other. I don't like to blend in with the crowd. But I don't like to stand out too much. I have my own style. I dress in what I like. I don't really care what people think about my clothing style. I believe that people have the right to choose what to wear. And no one can blame them for that.
