WASHINGTON, DCWashington is the capital of the United States of America. It is situated in the district of Columbia and is like no other city of the USA. It’s the world’s largest one-industry city. And that industry is the government. The White House, where the US President lives and works, the Capitol, the home of the US Congress, and the Supreme Court, are all in Washington. Washington was named after the first US President George Washington. He selected the place for the capital and Pierre L’Enfant, a French engineer, designed the city. Washington was first settled in 1790 and since 1800 it has been the federal capital. Washington is one of the most beautiful and unusual cities in the world. In the very center of it the huge dome of the Capitol - a big white dome standing on a circle of pillars rises. The 535 members of the Congress meet here to discuss the nation’s affairs. It’s easy to get lost in this huge building, full of paintings and statues. The library of Congress, the largest library in the States is not far from the Capitol. It contains more than 19 million books, more than 19 million manuscripts, including the personal papers of the US presidents. The White House is the official residence of the US President. He works in the Oval Office. One can hardly find a park, a square or an open area in Washington without a monument or a memorial. The most impressive and best-known ones are the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument. There are some important museums in Washington where you can see all kinds of things: famous paintings and sculptures, the original of the Declaration of Independence, the largest blue diamond in the world, etc. There are five universities in Washington. There are no skyscrapers in the city, because they would hide the many monuments from view. No building in the city may be more than 40 meters high. Thousands of tourists visit Washington every day.
