Additional task

I. Read the text and find answers to the following ques­tions:

1) In which country is this city located?

2) What is the population of the city?

3) Who was the founder of the city?

London

London is the capital city of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. With a population of over nine million London is a major global city, world's leading center of business and finances, culture and art, media and fashion. As many as three hundred languages are spoken in London.

London is crossed by the Thames River from the south­west to the east. The river played an important role in the city's history. Its waters were deep all year around. This permitted cargo ships to travel far distances and trade with other parts of the region and Europe.

Sometimes Londoners divide the city into North and South London. But there are the following areas or districts of London: the City, the West End and the East End. The City is the oldest and the central area of London. Here financial and commercial businesses are located. The West End is the main shopping and entertainment area attracting numerous tourists, fashion designers, artists, and lovers of luxury life. Here one may find modern buildings, squares, monuments and mansions which are unique samples of architecture. The East End is known for its high immigrant population. Build­ings here are rather simple. It is also the most industrialized district of the city. The port and railway terminals are located here. In 1863 the world's first underground system was cre­ated in London. It is the London underground, also known as the tube.

London is the best place to visit because there are so many attractions: Tower, St. Paul's Cathedral, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus, the famous Oxford Street, Dawning Street, and many others. London street buses are called omnibuses and are also a vivid symbol of London.
