Title:

My trip to London

Conversation:

Melissa: Hi, Lili!

Lili: Hi, Melissa!

Melissa: Ah, you look great!

Lili: You do, too. You look very well rested.

How was your trip to London? Did you have any free time between meetings?

Melissa: London was great. We were very busy all week,

But I had some free time on Saturday and Sunday morning.

I flew back on Sunday evening.

Lili: Did you take any pictures?

Melissa: Better than that. I have videos.

Lili: Excellent!

Melissa: I can't wait to show you. You're going to love this.

Lili: I can't wait to see them.

Melissa: I did a lot on Saturday. First, I went to the London Eye. Here it is.'

Lili: Did you go on it?

Melissa: Yes, I did. The views were fantastic.

Then, I went on a boat on the River Thames.

Lili: What was the weather like? Doesn't it rain a lot in England?

Melissa: The weather was OK. It didn't rain all the time.

Lili: That's good.

Melissa: The boat ride was really interesting.

I saw Tower Bridge and the Tower of London.

Lili: Did you go in the Tower of London?

Melissa: No, I didn't have time. Then, I visited Buckingham Palace.

This is where the Queen lives when she's in London.

Lili: Was she there when you visited?

Melissa: No. Her flag wasn't on top of the palace. That means she's not there.

Lili: Oh, is that a guard?

Melissa: Uh-huh.

Lili: I like his hat.

Melissa: Yes, it looks heavy. The guards are very intense.

Their attention is one hundred percent on their duties.

They never move or speak. They ignore all the tourists around them.

Lili: Did you take a tour?

Melissa: No, I didn't. I didn't have time.

Lili: That's a shame.

Melissa: I know.

Lili: What did you do next?

Melissa: Then, I took a bus to St. Paul's Cathedral.

Lili: Wow. That looks amazing.

Melissa: Yeah. They built it on the highest point in the city.

So, that way, you can see the dome from almost anywhere in London.

Lili: It's really beautiful.

Melissa: Yeah. So that's everything I did on Saturday.

Lili: You did a lot.

Melissa: Yes. Then, on Sunday, before I went to the airport,

I walked around. I went to Westminster Bridge.

I walked across it. I saw Big Ben and Parliament and Westminster Abbey.

Lili: Did you go inside?

Melissa: No, I didn't have time. I had to go back to the airport.

I only spent a day and a half in London, but it was great.

I went on the London Eye.

I went on a boat ride on the River Thames.

I saw Tower Bridge and the Tower of London.

I visited Buckingham Palace and St. Paul's Cathedral.

I walked across Westminster Bridge, saw Big Ben, and visited Westminster Abbey.

It was wonderful. Oh, but what about you?

Did you have a good weekend? What did you do?

Lili: Me? I had a great time. I cleaned my apartment.

I did laundry. I went to the pharmacy.

I took a subway ride and saw my brother's baseball game.

And I visited a lovely supermarket where I bought groceries.

It was wonderful. And I have video, too.
