R EAD I N G
1 Read Marias diary. Tick () A, B, or C.
Saturday 18 July
We left home early in the morning, but our flight was
delayed and we didnt arrive at Heathrow until late in the
afternoon. We were really tired, but we took a bus to
our hotel because taxis in London are very expensive.
When we got to the hotel, we had a rest and then went
out to explore the city. We had a quick sandwich in a
small caf and then headed for Oxford Street.
I bought a jacket and some T-shirts. I wanted to buy a bag
as well, but I couldnt find one that I liked. In the evening,
we ate in an Italian restaurant and went to a typical
English pub in Covent Garden. We met some really nice
English people and had so much fun that we didnt get
back to the hotel until very late!
Sunday 19 July
We got up late and had breakfast in a caf. I had a full
English breakfast, and then I had some fruit. Anna just
had toast. After breakfast, we went for a walk around
the city. We saw Nelsons Column in Trafalgar Square,
Buckingham Palace, and St Pauls Cathedral. In the
afternoon, we had a pizza and then took a bus to the
train station. Travelling by bus in London is a great way to
see the sights. We caught an evening train to Stratford-
upon-Avon and arrived at about nine oclock. We went
to our hotel and had an early night. We wanted to get up
early the next day and explore Shakespeares birthplace.
