We can say that it is one of the largest cities in the world , that it is one of the world’s most important ports and that it is the capital of Great Britain. But all these answers do not give any idea of London. London is more than two thousand and five hundred years old. About seven million people live there. There are more than 10 thousand streets in London. Most of the streets are not very wide and most of the buildings are not tall , but multistorey buildings have also appeared in London and almost all of them are hotels and offices. London Underground is the oldest and longest in Europe. There are eleven different lines with more than 500 stations. Although London is a crowded and noisy city you can find many pleasant parks and green squares there. Regent’s Park is the most beautiful park and Hyde Park is the largest, it is one of the most popular places of rest of Londoners on hot summer days. There are three main parts in London: the City, the West End and the East End. The oldest part of London is the City, the business centre. But the political centre is Westminster which is in the West End. The West End is famous for its rich shops , hotels, restaurants, cinemas, museums and other places of interest. Only rich people live there. The East End is another part of London. Many houses there are poor and many streets are narrow and dirty. The East End is famous for its docks but they have closed. Now people are building houses there. Already there are offices, shops and restaurants, a cinema and a large hotel for a modern traveler. By 2000 there will be a sports centre, a shopping centre, an airport and many other new buildings. There is so much to see in London that even Londoners can always find new sights . They like to say: “When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life.” B Asking the Way On the first day of his stay in London Borisov went sightseeing . He saw Piccadilly, one of the most famous streets of London. Then he decided to go to the British Museum. He asked a passer-by to show him the way there. Borisov: Excuse me , can you tell me the way to the British Museum? Passer-by: I certainly can. It’s a 30 minutes’ walk from here, but if you want to get there quickly you can go by bus from Oxford Circus. Borisov: How do I get to Oxford Circus? Passer-by: Go straight on , turn right at the traffic lights and in three minutes you are there. Borisov: What bus do I take? Passer-by: The 73 . Borisov: At what stop do I get off? Passer-by: At Great Russel Street. The bus stops at the museum. Borisov: One more thing : how long will it take me to get to the museum? Passer-by: Not more than 15 minutes. Borisov: Many thanks. Passer-by: Not at all . Задание 2.2.2 Скажите, какие предложения точно передают со-держание текстов: 1. London is the capital of Great Britain. 2.
