BR: 2-29 London

You can see the Crown Jewels, and visit the Bloody Tower and the White Tower. Or take a walk round the wall and perhaps see one of the Tower's  famous black birds: the ravens.Tower Bridge is near the Tower of London. It is one of the most famous bridges in the city and first opened in 1894.
 

 London is a book in the Oxford Bookworms series. It's in the Facfiles sub-series, the nonfiction counterpart of the Oxford Bookworms Library. It's a Stage 1 book. The book is divided into nine chapters: This is London!, In the beginning, Visiting the city, Some places to go, Westminster, Shops... ...and eating, Going out, Museums and galleries, and Places and parades. These nine chapters are followed by a map and as with other Facfiles books, some exercises and a glossary.

 The book as a whole has 17 pages, and each chapter comprises about 2 pages. The language, as one would expect with a Stage 1 book, is very simple. For example, the 12 sentences on page 10 have the following lengths (number of words): 19, 4, 13, 34, 8, 12, 9, 18, 25, 8, 24, and 23. This yields a mean of 16.4 words per sentence.

 The chapters that appealed to me the most are Chapter 3: Home-cooked food and Chapter 6: Shops... ...and eating. The bulk of this review will be devoted to these two chapters.
 If you go to London, you can get to defferent place easily by Underground train. The trains run all day and most of the night.  It's better not to make your journey between eight o'clock and ten o'clock in the morning, or four o'clock and six o'clock in the evening. These are called the 'rush' hours. London taxis are called 'black cabs'. Most of them are black, but some are not.
 And you can find food from nearly every countryin the world in London. You can eat food from Italy, India, China, Japan, Greece, and lots more places at Soho in the West End of London.   342/9451
