Walking in the Center of the City Today I went to the downtown of the city and were surprised how strongly it changed. It became much more comfortable and developed. Lots of cafes, restaurants and pubs settled around the pedestrian zone. Those to which I was accustomed, on the contrary, disappeared. Today was also a sunny day, and people were very cheerful. The World Cup has just started, and Saint-Petersburg is also one the cities which host football teams all over the world. Unluckirly, I'm not a football fan. However, I'm pleased that people have such a great sports festival.

Walking in the Center of the City

Today I went downtown and was surprised at how much it had changed. It has become much more developed, with lots of comfortable apartments/houses/flats. With many more cafes, restaurants and pubs around the new pedestrian zone. Those which I knew have disappeared.

Today was also a sunny day, and people were very cheerful. The World Cup has just started, and Saint-Petersburg is also one of the cities which host football teams from all over the world.  I'm not a football fan. However, I'm hoping that people have a great sports festival.

Yes, some words were weird, and others were not correct for the context. And you cannot be pleased that people have a great festival.

pleased is past tense, have is present tense. You have to match the tenses.

Thank you for your corrections! "Pedestrian zone" is a literal translation from Russian. We use this term to call those streets where traffic has been banned, and where people walk not only along the sidewalks, but also along the road.

"Today I went to the downtown of the city and were surprised how strongly it changed." => Today I went downtown and was surprised by how strongly it changed. (Strongly is a weird word to use in this context, imo. You can try "heavily." "Lots of cafes, restaurants and pubs settled around the pedestrian zone." "Settled" is a strange word here, as well but I think you can get away with that as long as you say "were settled." And I'm not sure what pedestrian zone is. Sidewalks? "The World Cup has just started, and Saint-Petersburg is also one the cities which host football teams all over the world." => The World Cup has just started, and Saint-Petersburg was one of the cities hosting international football teams. "Unluckirly, I'm not a football fan. However, I'm pleased that people have such a great sports festival." => Unfortunately, I'm not a football fan. Nonetheless, I'm pleased that such a great sports festival exists. Well, you spelled "unluckily" wrong. :) But I think a better word is "unfortunately." "Nonetheless" would also be better than "however." Good luck! Great job! *yikes, it won't let me add spaces in between my paragraphs...let me know if this is difficult to read*
