阅读理解

Last month, I went to London with my mom and dad. Firstly, I had a picture in my head of Big Ben, cute taxi, River Thames, and so on.

London is as good as I know it! As soon as I stepped off the train into St. Pancras Station, I found I was in heaven. You can see lots of people from every culture. The taxi drivers spoke in this city’s English, which was almost like another language. And there were many of the “old” London taxis, just like the ones you see in the movies.

I found the people to be really friendly, for the most part, and the city was clean and exciting. I saw a show and which was popular in the country.

I took many pictures of the interesting places. Big Ben sat tall over the River Thames, just as I saw in all the pictures and movies. London is truly one of the most magical cities in the world.
