A TOUR OF LONDON
Margret: So, David, what are we going to do at the weekend?
David: I’m not sure, maybe we’ll go sightseeing in London.
What do you think?
M: That sounds a good idea. I’d really like that.
D: Well, I thought we’ll be tourist and visit all the main
attractions.
M: I’ve got a map of London here.
D: Awesome! We can plan our trip?
M: Yeah, that’ll save time.
D: Look, there’s the River Thames.
M: Oh, yes. So, it is.
D: To make the most of the day, we will need to set out early.
We will catch the 8 o’clock fast train to Victoria. We will
arrive around 9 o’clock.
M: That will leave us plenty of time to go sightseeing.
D: I hope the weather will be good.
M: So, do I. When we arrive, we can go straight to
Westminster Abbey.
D: That’s where Prince William and Kate got married.
M: And there … look, there’s Buckingham palace.
D: Yes. And we could see the changing of the Guards. But we
must get there on time. There are always a lot of tourists.
M: I’m going to take a lot of photos with my phone.
D: You know the building with the clock; that’s the Houses of
Parliament and Big Ben.
M: That’s right! And just opposite is the London Eye. You can
see the whole of London from the top. Would you like to
go on it?
D: I’m not sure it’s a good idea, you have to queue for such a
long time.
M: Well maybe instead we’ll be able to go on a boat trip
along the River Thames to London Tower.
D: Yeah, that would be great. Shall we have lunch at Borough
Market? There are lots of food trucks which sell all kinds of
different hot food.
M: Ok! And where can we go after lunch, David?
D: It depends! If the weather is good, we could go to Hyde
Park and listen to interesting people at Speaker’s Corner.
M: Couldn’t we go shopping in Harrods?
D: I don’t think we’ll have enough time to go sightseeing and
shopping. I know what you’re like when you start
shopping, you shop for hours
M: Okay! What about going to The Tower of London to see
the crown jewels or to The National Gallery, where there
are a lot of masterpieces? Which would you prefer?
D: Can we go to The Tower of London? I’ve never been
there before.
M: I’d like to do both.
D: No, Margret, either one or the other. We won’t have time
to do both.
M: All right, the Tower of London it is. And a bit of shopping!
D: We’ll see! Well, we’d better get a good night’s sleep, it’s
going to be an early start tomorrow.
