The appearance of our city has greatly changed. From a dirty provincial town
with wooden houses and narrow streets it has turned into a modern city. The main
street of our city and many other tree-lined streets are always full of people and the
traffic is rather heavy (busy). In the streets we can see many cars, buses, trolleybuses,
trams, taxis.
Tula grows from day to day. Old houses and back-yards have almost completely
disappeared giving way to new high buildings. New modern-style districts have ap-
peared in the former suburbs of Tula.
The citizens of Tula are proud of their city which is becoming more beautiful
from day to day.
