The name London comes from the Romans.(p.2)

 Every year, more than nine million people come from countries all over the world to visit London. London is famous for a sightseeing spot. There are a lot of famous and fascinating spots to visit in London. For example, Oxford Street is famous to look at the shops, museums are famous in London and it's said that two million visitors go to the Tower of London.  Next theme is the beginning of London. The name London comes from the Romans. The Romans came to England in AD 43. They built houses and other buildings and they called the town Londinium. It's the beginning of London. A year later, in 1666, there was a big fire. It's The Fire of London. IT began in a house in Pudding Lane, near London Bridge. More than a quarter of a million Londoners lost their homes in the fire. It destroyed some precious buildings but it also destroyed most of the worst buildings. Additionally, some new houses were built and they were very comfortable for people to live in.  Next, let's visit the city London! A quick and easy way to get different places is to use an Underground train. The trains run all day and most of the night. After that, shall we go to some places! IN August and September, we can usually visit some of the rooms in Buckingham Palace. At half past eleven most mornings the soldiers at the Palace change the guard. We can enjoy watching the show for thirty minutes. After enjoying watching the traditional showing, let's eat something. We can find food from nearly every country in the world in London. In Soho, the west side of London, we can eat food from Italy, India, China, Japan, Greece and lots of more places. In addition, there are a lot of pubs in the city. We can eat as well as drink in many pubs and it's good idea to eat some English fish and chips. At last, go shopping. Some people say the most famous shop in the world is Harrods. It opened 1849. Oxford Street has many big shops. The street is always crowded with many people. Most beautifully, at Christmas, many people come to see the wonderful Christmas lights. Like this, we can enjoy London from many view. I want to go to London and see the Christmas lights someday. Please visit London with your friend, family and so on.
