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 about 200,000 people. There is a cathedral and a university. There are five bridges over River Tyne, which link Newcastle to the next town, Gates head, where there is one of the biggest shopping centres in the world. A few years ago, the main industries were shipbuilding and coalmining, but now the chemical and soap industries are important. I moved to London ten years ago but I often return to Newcastle. I miss the people, who are very friendly, and I miss the beautiful countryside near the city, where there are so many hills and streams.
