TRAVELLING AROUND THE WORLD The best city to visit in Britain Here are some places that you may interested in: The Thames The Thames runs through London. It is about 205 miles long and it divides the city into two parts. It's very interesting to take a trip on the river. This way, you can see almost every landmark (地标) of London. | |
| London Eye The London Eye opened in 1999. It stands on the banks of the Thames. You can see the whole city from it. The London Eye has 32 capsules (舱). It's open from 10 am to 9.30 pm from Monday to Saturday. The big wheel goes around very slow. It takes about 30 minutes to travel one revolution (旋转). | Big Ben Big Ben stands at the north of Westminster Abbey, next to the river Thames. It is over 96 meters tall. It was made in 1859 in London and the great clock started on May 31st. Every hour, it "bongs" the number of hours to tell the time. It's the largest four-faced chiming clock in the world. It had its 150th birthday on May 31, 2009. |
Tom was eight years old. He was a good boy, but he could not get up early. He slept till nine or ten o'clock in the morning. He was often late for school. Tom's mother didn't want him to be late for school, so she bought him an alarm clock (闹钟). She said to Tom, "You must get up when you hear the clock ring." "Yes, Mum," said Tom. After that Tom got up at seven thirty when he heard the clock ring.
One day his mother forgot to make the clock get ready to ring. And the next morning Tom didn't get up at seven thirty. It was time for breakfast. Mother went to see him. Tom was in bed and his eyes were open. "Why didn't you get up?" Mother was angry. "You told me to get up when I heard the clock ring, so I am waiting for the bell."
Some families live in small towns, others live in big cities. What happens when a family moves (移居) from a small town to a big city?
Joe's family lives in a big house with a garden in a small town. The house is on a quiet street with lots of trees. There's only one school in the town. Joe's family usually walks to some near places because the town is so small. Joe's mother gets a new job in the city, so the family moves there.
Now they live in a tall building. There's no garden. They usually drive every day because the city is too large. They can also choose to go by bus. But the streets are busy. At weekends, Joe is very busy. He often reads books in the library and goes to the park. There's a large zoo. He can see many animals with his new friends.
Joe's life in the city is very different from the life in the small town. He sees more (更多的) people. He goes to more places. But some things are the same. He is with his family. He still goes to school and helps his mother do housework.
Dinosaurs (恐龙)，mummies (木乃伊) and spaceships…you usually only see these things in movies. But if you visit a museum, you may get to see them for real!
A museum is a wonderful place. You can always find something new in different museums. It helps open up your mind. For example, how fast can a velociraptor (迅猛龙) run? How do astronauts (宇航员) land when they come back to Earth? Did you know that Leonardo da Vinci was not only a great artist, but also a great inventor?
Many of you may come across something new in the museum. You can go home and look it up online or in books. Has this ever happened to you?
What's most interesting is that there's a museum for almost everything. There is a museum for cats, Teddy bears and even hair! And there's almost always one close by. Does a trip to a museum sound fun to you?
