II. READING

4 Read the text silently within 1.5 minutes, then do it out loud. Pay attention to the pronunciation of the underlined words.

The place for the American capital was chosen by George Washington, the first US President. He wanted the capital to be impressive and well planned. So he invited Pierre Charles L'Enfant [lã:nˈfã:n], a young French architect, engineer and artist, to design a plan of the new city. The area George Washington had chosen for the capital was swampy, which did not discourage L'Enfant. He created a plan that was inspired by old European cities like Paris, Athens and Rome. Unfortunately, L'Enfant quarrelled with the city commissioners and was soon fired. As a result, the capital’s design that we can see today is a bit of a mixture of styles. Some of L'Enfant’s ideas were put into life, some were not.

Creating the capital from a swamp was not easy and building went very slowly. Though Washington officially became the federal capital in 1800, people didn't want to move to it. George Washington died in 1799 and didn't see the city in its full glory. Anyhow, his name was commemorated not only in the city’s name but also in a tall monument located in its centre. It is a 170-metre-high stella made of granite and marble. On the 4th of July people come to the Washington Monument to listen to the National Symphony Orchestra and watch the fantastically beautiful fireworks.
