Hi,
Alex.
I am very glad to hear from you again. I have not written to you for ages
because I wasn’t in. I was in London. I would like
to tell you about my travelling that was really magical. At first we visited Big Ben one of
London’s famous landmarks and
then we saw Westminster Abbey. As you know it
was built by King Edward in 1065. The coronation of all British Kings and
Queens takes place here. Famous
English people are buried here. It’s an amazing place.
I was happy to visit The Tower of
London because I’ve read that throughout its 900-year history the Tower has
been many things: a palace, a fortress, a prison, a place of execution, and
even a zoo. Now it’s a great museum! I couldn’t believe my eyes!
Well,
we ever went to St Paul’s
Cathedral which was built after the Great Fire of 1666 by Sir Christopher Wren,
a brilliant mathematician and engineer, who designed many famous buildings in
London. I wish you were there with me! It’s unforgettable sight!
Our teacher is fond of detective stories that’s
why we went to The Sherlock Holmes Museum which was opened in 1990 and we
could see the world’s famous house of
real detectives.
Finally, we went to the Buckingham
Palace the history of which began in 1702 when the Duke of Buckingham had built
it as his London home. Now it's a home of the Queen Elizabeth II. It’s really a majestic building.
It is all for me
for today. I have to go to the swimming pool now.
Write soon.
I am always pleased with your letters.
Best regards to your family and friends.
Yours,
Nick
