The Tower of London
I' d like to give a talk about London. London is the largest city and the capital of the United Kingdom. It is situated on the bank of the river Thames. Millions of tourists visit this city every year because it is, firstly, an old city which has seen a lot of historical events and, secondly, it is a modern city with a lot of attractions and world's famous shopping centres. Though it is an old city, it has become the world's leading business, financial, and cultural centre. In fact, it is a global city. Besides, London has got some famous tourist attractions, such as the Palace of Westminster, Westminster Abbey, the Tower of London, London Eye, St. Paul's Cathedral and many others. If you are going on a tour of London, you should visit the Tower of London first. It is one of the most famous fortresses in the world. It has been a fortress, a palace, a prison, a mint, a zoo. Now it is a museum. Another worth visiting attraction here is the London Eye. It is the world's highest observation wheel and offers exciting views of over 55 London's most famous places. Moreover, London has got a large number of parks and gardens. Hyde Park is one of them. As for me, I would like to visit the National Gallery which houses the greatest collection of paintings in the world. And, naturally, I would like to ride on the London Eye. Finally, I would like to do the shopping at Oxford Street, which is the longest shopping street in the world.
That's all I wanted to say. Thank you for listening.
