My Home Town.
I came from Newcastle, a city in the Northeast of England. Newcastle is on the bank of the river Tyne. It is quite big, with a population of about 200,000 people. There is a cathedral and a university. There are five bridges over the river Tyne, which link Newcastle to the next town, Gates Head, where is one of the biggest shopping centers in the world, the Metro center.
A few years ago, the main industries were shipbuilding and coalmining, but now the chemical and soap industries are more important.
I moved from Newcastle ten years ago, but I often return. I miss the people who are so warm and friendly, and I miss the wild, beautiful countryside near the city, where there are so many hills and streams.
People who are born near the River Tyne have a special name. They are called “Geordies”. I am very pleased to be a “Geordie”.
