SOME GLIMPSES OF LONDON

1. London is one of the biggest and most famous capital cities in the world. Every year London attracts crowds of visitors from home and abroad. They come to explore its historic buildings, to see its museums and galleries, its streets and parks, and its people.

2. London is a city of great contrasts. Its western part is the richest part of the town with cosy mansions, beautiful avenues, shops, restaurants and hotels. The East End is the district inhabited by the workers and the poor. Industry is chiefly found in that part of the city, gray with soot and smoke.

3. The heart of London is the City – its commercial and business centre. Here we can see the Tower of London that comes first among the historic buildings of the city. The Tower of London was founded by Julius Caesar and in 1066 William the Conqueror rebuilt it. First it was a fortress, then a royal residence. Now it is an armour’s museum and also the place where Crown Jewels are kept.

4. A twenty minutes’ walk from the Tower will take you to another historic building – St. Paul’s Cathedral. This greatest English church is a fine specimen of Renaissance architecture. Not far away there is Westminster Palace, the seat of the British Parliament. Its two towers stand high above the city. The higher of the two contains the largest clock in the country and the famous bell Big Ben that strikes every quarter of the hour.

5. There are several large museums in London. The Victoria and Albert museum has a magnificent collection of fine and applied arts, ceramics and metalwork. The biggest museum of London is the British museum. It contains a priceless collection of ancient manuscripts, coins, sculptures, etc. The British Museum is famous for its library – one of the richest in the world .

6. London is full of parks and green spaces. Hyde Park was originally a royal hunting forest. Now it is the largest park in London. In Hyde Park there is Speaker’s corner where everyone can go and air their views to anyone who will listen. In summer the Serpantine canal which flows through the park is always full of swimmers, rowers and sunbathers. Beyond Hyde Park lies another royal park, Kensington Gardens. Children gather by the statue of Peter Pan, James Barrie’s well-known story-book character.

VII. Прочитайте 6-й абзац текста и письменно ответьте на вопрос:

What is Speaker’s corner?
