London for the day. I was really excited as I hadn’t been to London since I was ten. We decided to go by coach
as this was by far the cheapest means of transport that was available even though it meant that we needed to get
up very early. Once in London we decided to take a sightseeing tour as we wanted to see some of the famous
buildings. After the tour we bought some sandwiches and ate them in a small theater. We met up again at 6:30
p.m. and went to a small restaurant in Soho. The meal was really good but, unfortunately, it took much longer
than we had expected. We had to get a taxi back to the coach station. Luckily, we got there just two minutes

1. Last week I made the mistake of visiting the village where I grew up. It was a small, friendly community
with two farms and a number of old cottages round the village green. I realized very quickly that although in
many ways it appears unchanged, in reality hardly anything is the same. All the pretty cottages are there, of
course, and both the picturesque farmhouses. But none of the inhabitants are country people. All of them are
commuters. Who leave early every morning for the nearby town. Neither of the farmhouses is attached to a farm
these days; the land has been sold and is managed by somebody in an office somewhere who has little interest
in the village itself. There are a few new houses, but they have no local character; you can see the same style
anywhere in the country. The whole of the village, in fact, has been tidied up so much that it has become nothing
more than just another suburb.

2. Learning English: Every year students in many countries learn English. Some of these students are young
children. Others are teenagers. Many are adults. Some learn at school. Others study by themselves. A few learn
English just by hearing the language in films, on television, in the office or among their friends. But not many
are lucky enough to do that. Most people must work hard on their lessons to learn another language.

mathematics and English. In England, America or Australia, many boys and girls study their own language,
which is English and another language, perhaps French, German or Spanish.

studies because some of their books are in English at the college or university. Other people learn English
because they want to read newspapers or magazines in English.
