A group of classmates and friends are on an end-of-year trip to London to do sightseeing. They take a double-decker bus to Buckingham Palace. They also visit Trafalgar Square and its monuments. They ask for directions to the London Eye Ferris wheel and enjoy the views of London from the top. They see landmarks like Big Ben and Tower Bridge from the London Eye. They take a boat tour on the River Thames past landmarks like the Tower of London. After a long day of sightseeing, they take the Tube back to their hotel, tired but glad they enjoyed exploring London.

1. A Trip To London
(______________) Hi, we are in London.
We are classmates and friends and we are doing our End of Year trip.
We don’t live in London, we are just sightseeing.
(______________) London is the capital city of the United Kingdom.
It’s very big and there are many things to do and see here.
Can we get a taxi?
(______________) No, we can’t. We are many and taxis are very expensive,
so let’s get a bus, a double-decker bus.
(______________) Well, let’s get that one.
It’s number sixty five.
It’s goes near Buckingham Palace.
Hey, mates, each ticket is one pound fifty.
Let’s sit upstairs!
(______________) There are lots of famous shops in London.
Harrods is a big department store.
Hamleys is a toy shop
(______________) Here we are!
That’s Buckingham Palace. The Royal Family lives there.
It’s a big and beautiful palace.
(______________)Now let’s go to Trafalgar Square. We can go walking.
Nelson Column is a famous monument in it.
Trafalgar Square is in the middle of London and there is an art gallery in it, the National
Gallery.

2. (_______________) Where are we going now?
(_______________) We are going to the London Eye, but where is it?
(_______________) I’m not sure.
(_______________) Excuse me, Sir. Is the London Eye near here?

your left. You can’t miss it.
(_______________) Thank you! Let’s go!
Hey, look, there it is! That’s the London Eye!
The London Eye is a big Wheel. It’s one hundred and thirty five metres high.
You can see all of London from the top.
(_______________) Look, there’s the Big Ben.
Most people think Big Ben is the name of the tower, but actually it’s the name of the bell
inside the tower.
… And, look, there’s the Tower Bridge.
(_______________) Can we go by boat, please?
(_______________) Yes, sure! And, we can see all the bridges over the river Thames.
This Bridge, the Millennium Bridge is in the movie of Harry Potter.
(_______________)There is a Castle next to the bridge;
It’s the Tower of London, it was a prison but now it’s a museum where you can see the
Crown Jewels.
(_______________) What a great day! I love London!
But I’m very tired. We can go back to the hotel.
Let’s get the Tube!
(______________) Let’s get it!
