Let's start our competition.

Washington stands on the Mississippi river.

Washington isn't in any state. It is in the District of Columbia. That's what the letters DC in the name of the city stand for. Washington is named after the second president of the USA. The climate is not severe here, although it can be too cool in the summer. The level of pollution is so high that it's really horrible for people.

The White House is the home of the President and the First Lady. It is not possible for an ordinary people to go inside it. All the Presidents of the USA have lived here. There is four-sided stone structure which honours the "Father of the Country", General, and the President of the USA-George Washington. The Jefferson Memorial can be seen from the White House. It's a very wonderful place, surround by cherry trees. It was dedicated on the 200th anniversary of Jefferson's birth so it was opened in 1903. There are a lot of museums here some foreign embassies are in Washington and some in New York.
