Washington

1 Washington, in full Washington, D.C. (District of Columbia), is city and capital of the United States
of America. The city is located on the banks of the Potomac River, which separates it from Virginia to the
southwest. Washington is not the largest city in the United States but in the political sense it is the most
important city.
2 Washington is one of the few capital cities of the world founded expressly as a seat of government and
as a centre for international representation. Washington has one major business and that business is
government. Many people living in Washington work for the federal government. At 1600 Pennsylvania
Avenue there is the White House where the President lives and has his office.
3 The Capitol (Капитолий) with its great Hall of Representatives and the Senate is the highest building
in Washington. There is a law against building structures more than 90 feet high in the capital. With its
beautiful buildings and its tree-lined avenues Washington attracts a lot of visitors.
4 Nearly every significant national organization has its headquarters or a major branch in the District.
The city is the main point of the nation for sightseers and for seekers after the spirit of the American past and
present.
5 The modern city also has the nation’s most sacred monuments and the most meaningful artifacts of its
history, and an impressive collection of the national art treasures. The capital has world-known art galleries,
museums and monuments. One of the most interesting museums in Washington is the National Art and Space
Museum. The museum has aircraft and spacecraft that were important in aviation history. There even rocks
that the astronauts brought to the Earth after their Moon landing.
