London is a capital of Great Britain

London is the capital of Great Britain. The full name of the country is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. London is an ancient city. It grew up around the first point where the Roman invaders found the Thames narrow enough to build a bridge. They found a small Celtic settlement then known as Londinium and by A. D. 300 they had turned it into a sizeable port and an important trading centre. Over 8 million people live in London. The city dominates British life. It is the home of the nation's commerce and finance, the main centre of its legal system and the press. It has the largest university and the greatest possibilities for entertainment and for sport in the country. London is one of the most famous capital cities of the world, and every year it attracts crowds of visitors from home and abroad. They come to explore its historic buildings, to see its museums and galleries, its streets and parks, and its people. London is a city of great contrasts. Its western part is the richest part of the town with its cosy mansions, beautiful avenues, shops, restaurants and hotels. The East End is the district inhabited by the poor. Quite an army of people live from hand to mouth in its slums and miserable houses lining dreary narrow streets. Industry is chiefly found in that part of the city, grey with soot and smoke. The heart of London is the City — its commercial and business centre. Here is situated 4 the Tower of London that comes first among the historic buildings of the city. St. Paul's Cathedral) the greatest of English churches, is situated not far from the Tower. Not far away, in Westminster, where most of the Government buildings are situated, is Westminster Abbey. Many English sovereigns, outstanding statesmen, painters and poets are buried here. Walking around London one can also see and admire Westminster Palace, Trafalgar Square, Whitehall, the British Museum and many other places in the city.

На английском языке Перевод на русский язык My Work Моя работа My name is Denis. I’m 15 years old. I study in the 9th form of the state secondary school. At the moment we are having summer holidays. It’s one of the best times of the year. It would be boring if we had to stay at home for all three summer months and do nothing. So our school organized a summer working camp, where we have to take care of the city parks, squares, woods and other natural areas. This work is only at the weekdays, from Monday till Friday. I wake up early on these days, at about 7am. I take a shower, have a quick breakfast, wear something comfortable and leave for work. Every day we have different tasks. One day, for example, we have to clean the area around our schools. On other days, we plant trees and flowers at the city park. Once we even had to clean one of the nearest woods and I was surprised to see that there was so much rubbish. I wish people would recycle their empty bottles and cans, and they should definitely use the garbage bins for litter, but not the woods. I must say that I quite enjoy my current work. Many people may think that it’s tiring to do such work every day. However, it’s much more interesting to spend your time in the open air with your classmates and friends, than to stay at home for the whole day. Besides, when I think of how beautiful the parks will soon look with new plants, I feel proud.
