I was born in Newcastle, a city in the North East of England. Newcastle is on the bank of the River Tyne. It is quite big, with a population of about200,000 people. There is a cathedral and a university. There are five bridges over the River Tyne, which link Newcastle to the next town, Gateshead, where there is one of the biggest shopping centres in the world. A few years ago, the main industries wereshipbuilding and coalmining, but now the chemical and soap industries are important. I movedto London ten years ago and I often return to Newcastle. I miss the people, who are very friendly, and miss the beautiful countryside near the city, where there are so many hills and streams. 11.Newcastle is ____________.
