Стор.94 18. Imagine you are having a rest in London or any other city/town of Britain. Write an e–mail to your parents telling about your stay there. Write about 80—90 words. Hi! Mom and dad! I’m having a wonderful time in London. It’s the city of contrast and I’m really amazed by it’s architecture and majesty. London is situated in southeastern England and stands on the River Thames. London is the largest urban area of the United Kingdom, that covers an area of 1,579 square kilometres. London is full of popular and world–famous attraction, both, educational and entertaining. This wonderful city is famous for it’s museums and galleries, such as British Museum, National Gallery, the Natural History Museum, Tate Modern, the Science Museum and well–known Madam Tussaud’s Museum. And what is important to admit – most of these museums are free to enter! The city of London was founded about 2000 years ago so there are a lot of interesting historic and architectural sights. Big Ben, the House of Parliament, the Tower of London, St. Paul’s Cathedral are the top “sights to see!” As for the entertaining, it is impossible to get bored in London. The best places for quiet relaxation are traditional English parks and gardens. The tourists favourites are Hyde Park, Green Park, Regent’s Park and Kensington Gardens. I’ll be back soon and show you a lot of beautiful pictures of this amazing city. I just fell in love with London and its atmosphere! Best regards, (твоє ім’я)
