When you visit london, go and see speaker`s corner in hyde park. you can hear people discussing all kinds of problems there. last year when i got there one day, i saw a man on top of a high box. he was speaking out the government in a loud voice. there were a lot of listeners around. his voice was becoming louder with every word. some people began to laugh at him. the atmosphere was growing worse with every minute. it looked as if there was going a fight soon. the big policeman, who had been watching the crowd for quite a long time, came nearer. he rose high above the crowd. the supporters of the speaker and his opponents were told to make two groups on the right and on the left from the box. the people did it and the conflict was over.
