Places in London that I would like to visit
When we learn English, we all read texts about the United Kingdom and London. I have read about all the famous sights of London and now my dream is to go there in order to see them with my own eyes.
My list of the sights is quite long and I would like to visit all of them, but I know it could take me weeks, so I have made a list of the top ten London landmarks. First of all, I would go to Buckingham Palace, which is the Queen's home, and I will try to get there just in time to see the Changing of the Guard. I know that if I get to London in August or September, I will have a chance to see the rooms of the palace.
From Buckingham Palace I would go down the Mall to Trafalgar Square passing through Admiralty Arch that was built as a memorial to Queen Victoria. I want to see Nelson's Column that is located in the centre of Trafalgar Square and then I would visit the National Gallery which is said to house one of the greatest collections of European paintings in the world.
The next landmark on my list is the London Eye by the River Thames. This ferris wheel is one of the most popular attractions for visitors because it gives great views over the city. After that I would walk over Westminster Bridge to Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. From there I would go to Westminster Abbey, the setting for coronations, funerals and marriages. It is the place where tourists can see graves and memorials of Isaac Newton, Robert Burns, Charles Darwin and many other great writers and scientists.
I would definitely go to explore the Tower with all its exhibitions and I would take a selfie with a Yeoman Guard, or Beefeater.
These are just a few places that I would like to visit in London. I am sure that this experience would be a trip of a lifetime for me.
Being impressed by the film of the same name, I wanted to read the source. I was already familiar with Fitzgerald from his book the Great Gatsby, which I was not happy about. Now I'm starting to think it's not my author. Can ever read it is something to him more, but not in the near future for sure.
The whole story is tied to the fact that a child is born in the family alone, but it is not so ordinary. It is not clear whether a miracle or a curse, but the kid looks like an old man. All his skin is covered with wrinkles, and a complete set of senile diseases. The mother dies in childbirth, and his father is unable to keep such a "vile" form of the son, and decides to throw it to other people. He hardly realized what was happening, and with some deviation from the norm against their faced newborn. But as the years passed, the boy grew up, and to everyone's surprise younger.
The author came up with just a great idea for the whole novel, the history of Button could be developed, but to develop, and he was only able to write that
