A trip to the UK

Ваш друг вернулся из поездки в страну изучаемого языка. Расспросите его о поездке: где он был,что произвело на него наибольшее впечатление и почему.

S: Hello, ......? What a nice surprise! It`s great to see you!

T: Hi, ......! I haven’t seen you for ages. Where have you been?

S: I’ve just come back from Britain.

T: Have you? How did you like it there?

S: I enjoyed it greatly! I can’t say I’ve seen a lot, but I liked the places I visited: London, Stratford-upon-Avon, Windsor and Oxford.

T: How long did you stay there?

S: For a week. I wouldn’t mind staying there longer. You know, you need lots of time to see all British landmarks.

T: Sure. You visited Stratford, Windsor, Oxford and London within a week! How did you manage?

S: Stratford and Oxford are small towns; it took me a day to go sightseeing there. Another day for Windsor – all the other time I went sightseeing in London. And I can’t say I was able to see much of London. So, I have an excuse to come back there some day.

T: You are right. What impressed you most?

S: The Tower of London. I’ve read a lot about it beforehand, so I have already known that it was built by William the Conqueror. Once it was a fortress, then a royal palace, a zoo and even a prison for the nobles. Now it’s a museum guarded by the famous “Beefeaters”. And that legend about the ravens living in the Tower… Do you know it? The legend says that without ravens the Tower and the British monarchy will fall. That’s why their wings are cut back and they are carefully guarded. It has always been my dream to visit the Tower and to see everything with my own eyes. And now my dream has come true!

T: And what about the weather?

S: About the weather? Unfortunately, when I was in London, it rained the whole time, but it didn’t prevent me from enjoying the sights. I liked everything I saw there. Have you ever been there? If not, I definitely advise you to take the first plane to London and have the time of your life!

T: Thanks a lot. I will.

S: Well, ......., I’m afraid, I have to go. Goodbye.
