Welcome to My Country
Hello! Welcome to Serbia, my country, and Belgrade, my city. You must visit Serbia, and I am going to tell you why.
Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, is also the biggest city in the country. It has beautiful places where you can go for a walk or a swim, because, although Serbia does not have a sea, Belgrade has two rivers and a lake Ada. It has an old fortress Kalemegdan with a great view of the city. From the fortress, you can even see a big temple called Saint Sava which is more beautiful at night than during the day. But if you are the type of person who likes shopping more than sightseeing, Belgrade with its huge malls with cinemas and restaurants is the place for you.
I love my country, but this does not mean that I am lying, so I want you to come and see for yourself how wonderful it really is.
