The carpet sped towards the mountains. At last it began to slow down. "I hope it knows how to land," said Kipper. "It looks a long way down." The carpet landed safety. When the boy's mother saw him, she couldn't believe her eyes. She looked at the carpet and she looked at Biff and Kipper. "My son is safe," she said, "thank you."(pp.22-23)

BR3-London-

November is also the month of the Lord Mayor’s Show. It happens on the second Saturday, and Londoners can see their new Lord Mayor. The Mayor travels from his home at Mansion House to the Strand in a 200-year-old coach. (p.9)

Today, I read London. It is in the Oxford Bookworms Library and written by John Escott. This book consists of 10 parts.

London is the biggest city in Britain, with more than seven million people, and millions of visitors come to London every year. However, two thousand years ago, London was a small village by the River Thames.

The plague often came to London, but 1665 was the worst year of all. In the hot summer that year thousands of people were ill, and 100,000 of them died. 1665 was called the Year of the Great Plague. Then a year later, in 1666, there was a big fire – the Great Fire of London. Most houses were built of wood at that time, and fires love wood. The Great Fire of London went through street after street, and it did stop for four days. More than a quarter of a million people lost their homes in the fire.

London’s oldest and most famous church is Westminster Abbey. English kings and queens always have their coronations here – from the time of William the Conqueror in 1066 to today in the twenty-first century. London have the London eye, a big wheel 135 meters high. It was built in 2000 and celebrates the Millennium. It never stops moving, but it moves very slowly. Visitors travel in the capsules on the wheel for 30 minutes, and when the weather is good, we can see for 40 kilometers across London.

The British Museum in Great Russell Street is the biggest museum in Britain, and the oldest museum in the world. It opened in 1759. There are 94 galleries (it is a four kilometer walk through all these galleries), a reading room, and bookshops. At the center of the building is the beautiful Great Court.

I went to London last summer and visited many places where was on the book. When I read this book, I felt very nostalgic. I want to go there again.

San Fransisco

When you stand on the Golden gate bridge, and look east across San Fransisco you can see an island, it is very small but everybody knows the its name, 'Alcatlaz'. Every year more than 1.4 million visitos visit this place.

Alcatraz island first became an important prison in1907. At this time, it was only a prison for soldiers. Then, in the 1930s, the U.S. government needed a place for the most dangerous people in the country - people from wild cities like Chicago or New York. They thought nobody would be able to escape from the island of Alcatraz.
