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 which does not belong to any one state but to all the States. The district is named in honour of Christopher Columbus, the discoverer of America. It is very interesting that Americans never say simply «Washington». They always add «D.C». as the indication of the location. It is important because there are many towns with the same name all over the country and even one large^state in far north-west.
Washington was founded in 1791 as the capital of the United States of America. Washington is quite a new city. The population of the city is nearly one million people. It is not a very large city, but it is very important as the capital of the USA. There is a law in Washington against building structures higher than the Capitol.
Washington has many historical places. The largest and tallest is the Capitol, where the Congress meets. It is a very beautiful building with white marble columns. Not far from the Capitol is the Library of Congress. It holds five million books.
The White House, the residence of the president is the oldest public structure in the capital and one of the most beautiful. It was built in 1799. It is a two storied white building. Not far from the Capitol is the Washington monument, which looks like a very big pencil. It rises 160 metres and it is empty inside. A special lift brings visitors to the top in 70 seconds, from where they can enjoy the view of the city.
The Jefferson Memorial was built in memory of the third President of the USA Thomas Jefferson, who was also the author of the Declaration of Independence. The Memorial is surrounded by cherry trees.
The Lincoln Memorial is devoted to the memory of the sixteenth President of the USA, the author of the Emancipation Proclamation, which gave freedom to Negro slaves in America.

Вашингтон был основан в 1791 году, как столица Соединённых Штатов Америки. Вашингтон - город достаточно молодой. Население его - около одного миллиона человек. Это небольшой город, но крайне важный, поскольку является столицей США. В Вашингтоне действует закон, запрещающий строительство зданий, превосходящих по высоте здание конгресса США. В Вашингтоне много исторических мест. Самое крупное и высокое - это здание на Капитолийском холме, где заседает Конгресс. Это очень красивое здание с белыми мраморными колоннами. Рядом с Капитолием находится Библиотека Конгресса, которая насчитывает 5 миллионов книг.
Белый дом, резиденция Президента, - одно из самых старых и красивых зданий столицы. Оно было возведено в 1799 году и представляет собой двухэтажное белое строение. Неподалёку от Капитолия находится монумент Вашингтона, который выглядит как очень большой карандаш. Он поднимается в высоту на 160 метров и является полым внутри. Специальный лифт поднимает посетителей на самый верх сооружения за 70 секунд, откуда им открывается вид на весь город.
Мемориал Джефферсона был возведён в честь третьего Президента США Томаса Джефферсона, который также являлся автором Декларации о Независимости. Мемориал окружён вишнёвыми деревьями.
Мемориал Линкольна посвящён памяти шестнадцатого Президента США, автора Прокламации об освобождении, которая подарила свободу рабам-неграм Америки.
