Washington, DC
Washington, DC is the capital of the United States of America. It is situated in the mouth of the Potomac River, in the District of Columbia (DC), not belonging to any state. The city is unique in its own way — it was specially designed as the capital of the USA. The architect, who drew up the plan of the city, Pierre 1’Enfant, wanted it to be very convenient. The place for the capital was chosen by the first president, George Washington, and in 1800 the Government moved there.
There are a lot of Governmental offices, but probably the best known, as well as the most important for the country’s life are the White House and the Capitol. The White House is the official residence of the President of the United States. It was built in 1799. It is a three- storeyed house where the President and his family live. At the same time it is the place where official receptions are held and the administration gathers for the meetings. The Capitol is the seat of the Congress. The corner stone of the Congress was laid by George Washington in 1790. The
Congress has two chambers: the House of Representatives and the Senate.
The city of Washington, DC is rather large and very beautiful, being
at the same time different from all the other cities in the USA, because
there are no skyscrapers. According to the law, no house in Washington,
DC must be higher than the Capitol. Washington, DC has the population of about 900,000 people. Being the administrative centre of the country, it doesn’t have any industry. They say, nothing is produced in Washington, DC except wastepaper.
Thousands of documents are drafted, approved or denied in the city every day. People living there either belong to the administration, or are employed in the service industry. Besides, thousands of tourists come to see the capital of the country. There is a lot to be seen: Thomas Jefferson Memorial, the Library of Congress, the Washington Monument and much more. The Washington Monument is the most remarkable of these: it is a column rising 160 metres, and from the top of it the visitors can enjoy the view over the city. Among the attractions of the capital it is necessary to mention the museums: the National Gallery of Art, the National Museum of History and Technology, and others.

Вашингтон
Вашингтон, округ Колумбия является столицей Соединенных Штатов Америки. Он расположен в устье реки Потомак, в округе Колумбия (округ Колумбия), не принадлежащем ни к одному штату. Город по-своему уникален — он был специально спроектирован как столица США. Архитектор, составлявший план города, Пьер Л'Энфан, хотел, чтобы он был очень удобным. Место для столицы было выбрано первым президентом Джорджем Вашингтоном, и в 1800 году туда переехало правительство.
Здесь много правительственных учреждений, но, наверное, самыми известными, а также самыми важными для жизни страны являются Белый дом и Капитолий. Белый дом является официальной резиденцией президента Соединенных Штатов. Он был построен в 1799 году. Это трёхэтажный дом, в котором живут президент и его семья. В то же время, это место, где проводятся официальные приемы и администрация собирается на встречи. Капитолий является местом проведения Конгресса. Краеугольный камень здания Конгресса был заложен Джорджем Вашингтоном в 1790 году.
Конгресс состоит из двух палат: Палаты представителей и Сената.
Город Вашингтон, округ Колумбия довольно большой и очень красивый, будучи в то же время отличным от всех других городов США, потому что здесь нет небоскребов.
Согласно закону, в Вашингтоне нет дома, который был бы выше Капитолия. Вашингтон, округ Колумбия имеет население около 900 000 человек. Будучи административным центром страны, он не имеет никакой промышленности. Говорят, что ничего не производится в Вашингтоне, округ Колумбия, за исключением отходов - бумаги.
Ежедневно в городе разрабатываются, утверждаются или отклоняются тысячи документов. Люди, живущие там, либо принадлежат к администрации, либо заняты в сфере услуг. Кроме того, посмотреть столицу страны приезжают тысячи туристов. Здесь есть на что посмотреть: Мемориал Томаса Джефферсона, Библиотека Конгресса, Монумент Вашингтона и многое другое. Памятник Вашингтону - самый примечательный из них: это колонна высотой 160 метров, с вершины которой посетители могут любоваться видом на город. Среди достопримечательностей столицы стоит отметить музеи: Национальную Галерею искусств, Национальный музей истории и техники и другие.
