WONDERS OF THE WORLD

Students (6^th level) have to create a brief description of several wonders of the world, such as: The Tower Eiffel in Paris (France) or The Opera House in Sidney (Australia)

Here they are some examples using London:

• London is the largest city in Great Britain.
• No other British city has as many inhabitants as London.
• The London underground, the tube, is the oldest underground in the world.
• The Tower of London is one of the most famous London sights.
• Another sight is the London Eye. With its 135 metres, it is taller than any other big wheel in the world.

Here you are the pictures they will use. Good luck!!! Regards, Christopher.

Welcome to London!!!

Hello again dear friends!

Here you are a video about the capital of England: LONDON.

London is the capital of England and of the United Kingdom. It was founded by the Romans in 43 A.D. Its name derives from Londinium.

Today it represents a very important centre for culture, business and tourism. There you can find many shops, banks, insurance companies and some of the best theatres and museums in the world.

It is a cosmopolitan city, many people from different nationalities live and work there. London has got a population of 6.5 million inhabitants and is the biggest city in Britain and in Europe.

I hope you like it, because it is very interesting. Maybe, in a future, you travel to London and you can visit: The Tower Bridge, St. Paul Cathedral,

Trafalgar Square
