Dan: I’ve just come back from London. Andrew: Gool! London is an amazing city indeed ! How did you like it there? Dan: I enjoyed it greatly. I can’t say I’ve seen a lot, but I liked the attractions I visited: Trafalgar Square, The Houses of Parliament, the Tower, the London Eye, Hide Park, St. James’s Park, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Buckingham Palace, British Museum, Madame Tussaud’s museum, the Tate Gallery and others. Andrew: Wow, so many sights! How long did you stay there? Dan: For 7 days. I wouldn’t mind staying there longer. You know, you need lots of time to see all attractions. Andrew: Sure. What impressed you most? Dan: I liked everything I saw there. But I was short in time. In my opinion, if you want to see all of London, you need to stay here at least for a month. Andrew: Please, tell more detailed about some places of interests. For example, about the London Eye. Dan: Well, it is considered to be one of the biggest Ferris wheels in the world. Its structure is 135 meters. All in all it has 32 capsules, each holding up to 25 people. It was opened to public in March of 2000. Andrew: Sounds interesting. And, who was the architect of this gigantic construction? Dan: There were several architects who designed the London Eye, among them Frank Anatole and Nic Bailey. Andrew: All right. Can you tell me a bit more about the Tower? Dan: It’s a historical castle, which has played a prominent role in English history. It has served as a royal palace, prison and place of execution, fortress, arsenal, jewel house and even a zoo for exotic animals. This is where Anne Boleyn was beheaded. Andrew:How interesting! And what do you know about the Tate Gallery? Dan: It was founded in 1897 and contains the largest collection of British art. Besides, it has a large collection of international contemporary art. Until 1932 it was known as the National Gallery of British Art. Then the gallery was renamed after Henry Tate who was a sugar magnate and one of the people who laid the foundations for the collection. Today people call it Tate Britain. Andrew: Did you visit the official London residence of modern English monarchs - Buckingham Palace? Did it impress you? Dan:Awesome! I’ve always wanted to see Changing of the Guard ceremony at the Buckingham Palace. And I saw it! This ceremony usually takes place at 11.30 am and continues till 12 pm. It was rainy and I was afraid the ceremony will be cancelled. But , the rain stopped and I could admire it. Andrew: Great! And is Hyde Park worth visiting? Dan: Of course! My hotel isn’t far away from this place, it took me 10 minutes to walk there. Andrew: Oh, I’ve read about it. As far as I know, everybody can make a speech there. Dan:Yes, you are right. Only you can’t speak about the King and Queen. I was lucky, I heard an Englishman making a speech there. Andrew: Wow, and what he was talking about? Dan: Hm, as far as I understood, something against migrants from Syria and Iraq. Andrew: Cool! Thanks a lot. It’s a fantastic city.
