There are a lot of places of interest in London.
Among them there are: Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, St Paul’s Cathedral,
London Bridge, the Tower of London.
London stands on the river Thames. Crossing the river by the Tower Bridge you can see the Tower of London. It
is one of the oldest buildings of the city. Many centuries ago it was a fortress, a royal palace and then a prison. Now it
is a museum of arms.
On the bank of the Thames, not far from the Tower of London, you can see Westminster Palace, or the Houses of
Parliament. It is the seat of the British government and it is one of the most beautiful buildings in London. In one of
its towers there is famous Big Ben, the largest clock of England. It strikes every quarter of an hour.
Buckingham Palace is the Queen’s official London residence. Tourists always go to see the ceremony of changing
the Guard there.
London has many fine squares. Some of them are quiet; others are busy like Trafalgar Square. Trafalgar Square is
the central square of the city.
To the right of the square there is the National Gallery which has a fine collection of European paintings.
St Paul’s Cathedral is the biggest English church.
Another famous church is Westminster Abbey where kings, queens, and many famous people are buried.
London is also famous for its beautiful parks. Hyde Park is the most democratic park in the world, as anyone can
say anything he likes there. Regent’s Park is the home of London Zoo.

Dear Tom,.
thank you for your letter!
I'm sorry for your drain. If i were you, i would talk to my parents about this situation. Talking about things can solve many troubles.
My parents understand me perfectly, they understand that my opinion may have differ from theirs, they trust me and almost don't put pressure on me.
Any parents can be "ideal". A good parent should have patience for his child, support his ideas, and not ruin the passion to study, sport and hobbie.
With love/all best/best wishes,
<your name>.
