London is the capital of Great Britain. London was founded by the Romans in 43 A.D. and was called Londinium.
The heart of London is the City - its commercial and business centre. Here is situated the Tower of London that comes first among the historical buildings of the city. St. Paul's Cathedral, the greatest of English churches, is situated not far from the Tower.
London is one of the most famous capital cities of the world, and every year it attracts crowds of visitors from home and abroad. They come to explore its historical buildings, to see its museum and galleries, its streets and parks, its people.
Big Ben is one of the famous buildings in London. Everybody, who has ever been in London, has seen this beautiful tower with the big clock.
I read a lot of books. I especially like the works of adventures and magic, any čarodeâh, fairies and magical things. My favorite book is "volshebnik izumrudnogo goroda". Wrote Alexander Volkov. More specifically, I love the whole series of books about the adventures of a girl Ellie in the magic country. This includes "Urfin jus and his wooden soldiers, Seven underground kings".
I like books about the magic of the imagination with which they are written. They come alive, even inanimate objects. Tin Woodman walks and said wooden soldiers go to war. Even stuffed Scarecrow, crowded with straw, is very intelligent and resourceful.
Flying Monkeys heard the owner of the Golden Hats, and the Queen of the mice is the sound of a magic whistle. In the finale of "the wizard of the Emerald City," a wonderful Silver shoes carry Ellie airlifted back home to Kansas.
