Progress of the lesson
At the beginning of the lesson, the teacher gets to know the children.
Educator: Children, what city do you all live in? What are we all called - residents of Abakan? (Abakan people.) Do you know that Abakan is the capital of the Republic of Khakassia? This is our small Motherland. What do we call Motherland? (The place where we were born, we live, we go to kindergarten, where our fathers and mothers, friends live.) Right. Listen to the poem and to the Motherland.
What do we call Motherland?
The house where you and I grow up.
And birch trees by the road,
Which way we are walking.
What do we call Motherland?
The sun is in the blue sky.
And fragrant, golden
Bread at the festive table.
What do we call Motherland?
The land where you and I live,
And ruby stars -
Stars of the world over the Kremlin.
(V. Stepanov)
Children, what country do you live in? Russia is our big Motherland, it is what unites all people living in one country. We are all Russians, we all speak the same language. We love our Motherland dearly.
Children, we received an SMS message on our cell phone. Let's read it. It says that guests are coming to us from the capital itself, from Moscow. They really want to get to know our city and the interesting sights of Abakan. We need to help them. Do you know what a landmark is? (These are beautiful, memorable places that adorn our city.) Are there places in our city that we are proud of and are happy to show to residents of other cities and countries? I think the main attraction of our city is the people living here. After all, we have people of different nationalities living here. Can you name them? (Russians, Khakassians, there are Germans, Tuvans, Ukrainians, Chinese, Kyrgyz and many other peoples.) They all live together in our beautiful and cozy city.
We always meet our guests on the main street of our city. What is it called? (People's Friendship Street.) Why do you think it is called that? (People of different nations pass here.) On this street there is a huge hotel “Druzhba”, where guests stay.
Children, what sights would you like to introduce our guests to? (Zoo, Skazka Theatre, Orlyonok Park, Transfiguration Cathedral, Abakan Youth Palace.) Yes, children, in our city there are indeed a lot of interesting places where you can have a good rest and learn a lot of new and interesting things.
The teacher invites the children to tell a little about each attraction one by one, looking at the slides.
A didactic game “Recognize in the photo” is being conducted.
The slide opens. Did you find out what it is? Yes, this is a stele that greets all guests at the entrance to our city.
Then the children look at photographs of the Skazka Theater. People enjoy visiting theaters. Children, why do they come here? Children already know the Skazka Theater from an early age, where they come with their parents to watch fairy tales. This theater is famous all over the world and it has many awards. We should be proud of our actors.
The children's favorite place is the Mishutka entertainment center. You were here? What is interesting or noteworthy here? (There is a toy store here, various attractions for children are offered, and there is a children's cafe.)
What kind of place is this in our city? (Montenegro Park.) What is he famous for? Yes, here we see a monument to the soldiers who died in the Great Patriotic War. We will tell guests that in summer it is very beautiful here: lawns, flower beds. In the middle is the eternal flame of military glory of the heroes who died for their Motherland. Behind the eternal flame rises a sculptural composition of two figures - a Russian and a Khakass warrior. This idea of the joint struggle of the Russian and Khakass peoples against the Nazi invaders.
You will recognize these photographs immediately. (Eaglet Park.) What interesting things can we offer our guests here? They will probably take their children with them. What attractions await them here? Have you been here? Have you ridden the carousel? Children, do you want to remember summer now and ride the carousel?
The outdoor game “Carousel” is played.
At the command “One, two, three, take the ribbon,” children run in a circle with a ribbon in their hands.
Barely, barely, barely, barely
The carousels are spinning
And then, then, then
Everybody run, run, run
Hush, hush, don't rush,
Stop the carousel.
One - two, one - two
So the game is over.
Educator: Did you enjoy riding the carousel? I think the guests will really like it too.
After such a vacation, we will remember one more of your favorite corners of our city. Did you recognize him? (Zoo.) What can we tell our guests about it? What animals do we meet? There are a lot of exotic animals here that we can only see in a zoo: snakes, crocodiles, monkeys. Many city residents are unfamiliar even with animals such as cows, horses, and goats. For this they go to the zoo.
And this is the youngest and most beautiful corner of our city, which is full of interesting sights. Which of you has been here and can tell us? You are right, this is the Transfiguration Cathedral. What is he like? For what purpose do the townspeople visit this cathedral? Probably some of you went there for baptism or to light a candle for the health of your loved ones. We very often hear the ringing of bells that call believers to service. Religious festivals are also held here. Near the cathedral there is a youth palace. What interesting things can you tell about him? That's right, concerts are held here, and every child can find activities to their liking: dancing, sports clubs, theater arts and much more. Many Abakan residents and guests of our city relax in Preobrazhensky Park. After all, all the conditions have been created for this: a beautiful fountain, a park of exotic plants “Gardens of Dreams”, flowering alleys and even a children’s corner. It is imperative to take our guests to this park.
I think that there are a lot of beautiful places in our city. Please choose your favorite corner in your favorite city. Maybe we didn't name him. I will ask you, as a gift to our guests, to draw with sticks in the boxes where the cereal is poured, that corner of our city that, in your opinion, is the most interesting and beautiful. Our guests will definitely like it. We will leave these drawings until our guests arrive. We will also send them these photographs, which will introduce guests to Abakan in absentia. I will send an SMS message that we are ready to meet our guests.
Children, I am very glad that you know your city well. You talked about him with such interest that it was immediately clear how much you loved him. And now I want to hear good words from you about our city. Everyone takes turns taking a pebble, saying a word and throwing it into the jug.
Educator: Look how many good, kind and affectionate words you said to your beloved city. You really love and take care of him. After all, the future depends on you, guys, on how much you love your Motherland, what good you can do for it when you become adults.
The teacher thanks the children for an interesting conversation and treats them to sweets that are made here in our confectionery factory.
Do you like the city where you live? I like!
I live in the best city in the world. Because he is beautiful, he is dear. This is where I was born and raised. My friends and parents are here. It was in this city that I took my first steps, said my first words, and for the first time saw the dearest person on earth: my mother. Every street, every house is familiar to me here. My city has the most beautiful sunsets; they are either bright scarlet, soft pink, or variegated orange. The most charming blooms. The bluest sky, which is covered with soft snow-white clouds, similar to cotton candy. The greenest grass where my friends and I ran barefoot as children. The brightest sun, which woke me up in the morning all my life with its warm, gentle rays. If it rains here, it’s not just water from the sky, it’s the kind of weather that makes you think about the meaning of life, the rain, knocking on the windowsills of cozy houses and apartments, plays a melody that touches the soul. In my city in the morning everyone is rushing about their business, with a smile on their face, everyone is happy about the new day and, in anticipation of good luck, they walk and smile at passers-by.
There are so many memories associated with my city. It was here that I heard the school bell for the first time; it was in this city that I learned about the world. If I go somewhere, then I really miss home, school, local streets, parks, which were so much fun to walk in.
I don’t know how you can not love the city with which your entire past is connected.
Many people complain that they live in a dirty city, where there is nowhere to walk, where there are many dangerous places, they talk about this with indignation. But they don’t think about who is to blame for this. People themselves spoil the environment with their ignorance and laziness.
They don't want to fix anything, organize voluntary groups that will help keep the city clean. People simply complain about the city's shortcomings, but don't want to change anything. You just have to think about who is to blame for everything. And start correcting your mistakes before it’s too late. And only then the city will begin to flourish and delight all its residents with its appearance and good ecology.
It doesn’t matter whether your city is big or small, the only thing that matters is what kind of people live in it. And what desire they have to improve their place of residence. And if you try, then any city can be turned into the most charming, cleanest, most cheerful city in the world. It is only important to understand this and set such a goal.
No matter what they say about my city, for me it is always the best in the world. And I am doing and will do everything possible to make him better and better. But, I think that you just need to take care of what you have. And love your city not for its size and population, but for the fact that it is your native land. For those pleasant, positive, unforgettable moments that you experienced in this city. Because your family is here. For the fact that you were born here and spent the best years of your life - childhood!
Topic: My city
I live in Kirov. This is my home town. Kirov (which was known as Vyatka at the beginning of the 20th century) is located in the north-east of Russia, and it is an administrative, economic, educational and cultural center of Kirov region. My town is neither small, nor too big. Its population is slightly less than 500 thousand people.
I live in Kirov. This is my hometown. Kirov (which was known as Vyatka in the early 20th century) is located in the northeast of Russia and is administrative. economic. educational and cultural center of the Kirov region. My city is not small, but not too big either. Its population is just under 500 thousand people.
Of course, Kirov is not an ideal place to live. Most people who come to my town for the first time say that it is grey, dirty and miserable. They get irritated with narrow streets and poor roads quality. And finally, they say that life in such a place should be rather depressing. Certainly, I am well aware of all the problems of my town. And still I think everything is not so bad. Despite all the issues mentioned, Kirov has got some specific features that make me love it. And I want to tell about these features.

And in the end, they say that life in such a place must be very depressing. Of course, I am well aware of all the problems of my city. And yet I think that not everything is so bad. Despite all the problems mentioned, Kirov has some special features that I love about it. And I want to talk about these features.
Firstly, Kirov is an ancient city. Of course, a lot of new housing developments appear every year here. But most central streets have preserved their historical look. There are many ancient buildings, and each of them has its own individual style and spirit. So, Kirov is not a featureless modern city; it has got its own distinctive personality and soul. I like walking along its narrow streets, especially early in the morning, when. It seems to me that every house has its face and character.

There are many ancient buildings here, and each of them has its own individual style and spirit. Therefore, Kirov is not a faceless modern city; it has personality and soul. I love walking along its narrow streets, especially early in the morning when there are few people there. And it seems to me that each house here has its own face and character.
Secondly, in my town there are many parks and other green zones. Unlike “concrete jungles” of modern metropolises, Kirov is relatively clean and quiet. Even if you live in the very center of the town, you can reach the nearest park in five-ten minutes. So, there are a lot of places to walk and have a rest here. And, to my mind, this is very important for those who have small children.

Even if you live in the heart of the city, you can reach the nearest park in five to ten minutes. There are many places where you can walk and relax. And, in my opinion, this is very important for those who have small children.
Thirdly, I like our people. Though out-of-towners often say that residents of Kirov, are too serious and unwelcoming, it is not so. Maybe they don’t smile at other people too often, but they are kind and sympathetic. In big cities people often become cold and indifferent; they don’t care of anyone except themselves. And here, in my town, you can ask for help a stranger in the street, and, most likely, he will help you.
Thirdly, I like our people. Although visitors often say that the residents of Kirov are too serious and unfriendly, this is not true. They may not smile at other people too often, but they are kind and helpful. In big cities, people often become callous and indifferent; they don’t care about anyone but themselves. But here in my city, you can ask a stranger on the street for help, and most likely he will help you.

Introduction
This is the first part of any work. An essay on the topic “My City” is no exception. The introduction should be small in size, but after reading it, everyone should understand what will be discussed next. You can write something like this: “Each of us has our own hometown. This is the place in which a person was born and spent his childhood.

We have many parks, comfortably located between entire alleys of trees. In October and November, a real fairy tale reigns here. From the trees golden, crimson, brown, brown and scarlet leaves begin to fall, covering everything in the area. They rustle very pleasantly underfoot. Sitting on a bench, you can see the autumn sun shining through the leaves that have not yet fallen from the trees. I often come here in October "Watching such landscapes, I understand why poets sang of autumn."
In the same spirit you can describe winter, spring or summer. This remains at the discretion of the author. The main thing is that the topic is eventually revealed.

A paragraph written in this spirit will be an excellent conclusion to an essay: “Almost every person loves and appreciates his hometown. Although many do not understand this in their youth. But then, returning to their native land, they realize it. The soul becomes warm, before With my eyes, pictures of past years, childhood, youth appear.

Don’t forget about using artistic means of expression. Of course, there is no need to overdo it with them either. Otherwise, the text will turn out to be overloaded, and it is very difficult to read. But the essay shouldn’t be “dry” either. In general, if you remember these basic rules, you will be able to get the job done much faster.
