6.Brighton:It is a seaside resort on the English Channel.Only 50miles from London,it offers a good variety of lively entertainment.It is a cheerful place,busy and crowded in the summer,but alive in every season of the year.Its royal pavilion(布莱顿皇宫)is a masterpiece of English architecture.
Durham:Whatever travelers see or don't see in England,they must see this city,in the northeast,just south of Newcastle-upon-Tyne.No one will forget the sight of its cathedral(教堂)and castle rising together on a steep hill overlooking a loop in the River Wear,which almost surrounds them.The cathedral itself is one of the great medieval(中世纪的,公元476-1500)buildings in Europe.
Liverpool:A port in the northwest of England which possesses a quality that is not found in quite the same way anywhere else in England:the quality of grandeur (壮观).Liverpool has this grandeur in its site on the broad River Mersey (more than half a mile wide) with the houses rising near it; in its great dock buildings,its broad streets,and its two enormous cathedrals.
Edinburgh:It has long been the capital of Scotland.Edinburgh Castle is Edinburgh's important building,controlling the city from its perch on a rock over a hundred meters above sea level.Another important building is the Palace of Holyrood House,begun by JamesⅢaround 1500.Between the castle and the palace is the Royal Mile,which was the center of Edinburgh life before the 17th century and is fascinating to visit now.
