Novopolotsk is famous for its industry. There are four large industrial enterprises here: the Chemical Works “Polymir”, the Refinery Plant “Naftan”, the Protein Vitamin Works and the Measuring Devices Plant. Novopolotsk is a student town. There is Polotsk State University, the Oil-Training College, some vocational schools in our town. Every year a lot of young people from Belarus and foreign countries come to Novopolotsk and study here.

Novopolotsk has several micro-districts. Some of them are new and have multi-storey buildings and modern shopping centers. Others are rather old and have five-storey buildings. But they are green and quiet. There are four policlinics, two swimming pools, several sports centers and a hospital at disposal of our residents. In the centre of the town there is a central square – the Square of Builders. It looks modern with its beautiful fountains, comfortable benches, wonderful flower-beds and a large screen. It is the venue of different meetings, festivals, concerts and demonstrations.

There is a town hall here too. Opposite the square there is a beautiful park. Our residents and guests like going for walks and having a rest there.

As our town is young there aren’t many monuments and historical sights here. But there are some interesting statues in its streets and parks. I like Novopolotsk and I am happy to live and study here.
