Read the text. Hello! My name is Nick. I have never been to London. But I have already seen a lot of documentaries about the capital of Great Britain. Now I am going to tell you some interesting facts about this wonderful city. The Romans built Londinium on the River Thames. At the beginning of the 11th century London was a very important city. William the Conqueror invaded England and became the monarch of the country. He was afraid of the English and he built the White Tower to live in. Now it is one of the most beautiful buildings of the Tower of London. There are always black ravens in it. People keep them and look after them well as they believe that London will be rich while ravens live there. My favourite place in London is Trafalgar Square. There is a tall column in the middle of it. Four bronze lions look at the square from the monument. Now mark only the correct sentences.

Firstly, this will offer you a great pet and a new best friend. Shelter animals are waiting for someone to take them home, someone to give their unconditional love to. They miss care and attention. These grateful creatures will fill your family with joy and happiness. Although some of the animals are street stray, there are also many of those who have already had a home and been house-trained. With these mature pets, you won't have to worry about toilet accidents or basic training issues. Secondly, it will cost you less to nothing. There are many shelters which are ready to give a pet of any size, colour and breed into good hands for free. By contrast, it's rather expensive to buy any animal in a shop and the pedigreed animals are quite high-priced. The shelter pets are already checked for diseases and vaccinated. Thirdly, adoption saves lives. Shelters are overcrowded with animals. In many countries, stray animals are euthanized unless they get an owner. Adopting one, you let the shelter have room for another one. Taking care of a pet, grooming, playing and walking provides you with both emotional and physical health benefits! And being proud of choice you've done makes things even better.

Still the help of professionals in organizing the holidays is very useful. A package holiday is one of the most convenient and interesting holidays one can have. To start with, the way of buying a ready trip is easy and quick. People do not need to think and worry about arranging flights, booking a hotel room. This work will be done by special agents. There are so many interesting places in the world and people can learn about them in the travel agency. Making your own holiday plans gives you more freedom of choice. One can go to any country he/she wants. Travel agencies can’t offer some tours. The accommodation cannot suit one. The hotel can be different in reality from the Internet. The service can be bad. ‘Free’ travellers can change the hotel. People who bought a ready tour cannot. But it’s often difficult to find a good hotel yourself. Making own holiday plans can be a great experience, but the use of professional help makes your travelling safe.

You can do anything you want and there are a lot of shops. I love shopping! When I go there, I always go to Buckingham Palace. I hope I can see Prince Harry or Prince William. I also think the guards are very funny with their hats. I like to go there by train or by car because you can see how green our country is: full of big fields and grassy hills. If you take the plane, you cannot see all this! Max, from Lytham My favourite place is Blackpool. I really like that town. It’s close to my city. Even if it’s not a very big city, it’s really nice. There are so many people coming here, especially in summer. Before getting married, couples often go to Blackpool for parties. There is also Blackpool Tower. I like it because it looks like a small Eiffel Tower. When I’m not at school, I play the guitar and in Blackpool there are a lot of opportunities for musicians like me! Finally, I like walking on the beach as well. Many times, you can see donkeys. These animals are so funny! Alice, from London This might surprise you but my favourite place is my room! This is the only place where I can stay alone. I can chat on my computer with my friends and I can write in my diary. I like writing what I think and what I do. I write every day! I have my private life! My room is not very big but it’s very colourful and I chose the decoration. My bed is very comfortable and from my window I can see one of the main streets of London. I like watching people walking in the street, what they do, how they are dressed. I try to imagine their lives. It’s fun! John, from Chester I like England but I prefer India! I go there every year with my family. We take the plane from London to Mumbai. Sometimes we stop in Delhi because it’s very near to Taj Mahal, in Agra. I don’t really enjoy taking the plane because I am always scared it’s going to crash. I know it happens very rarely, but I’m afraid of it anyway. So, my favourite place in India is Mumbai. I like to watch cricket there! I also love Indian movies.

The smell of chemicals was suffocating and the heat was intense. My supervisor held up the shirt I was sewing. "You have to work faster!" he told me. Everyone loves a bargain and the high streets these days are full of the latest fashions at rock-bottom prices. Many times, I would buy a dress in the morning, wear it at a party that night, and then hardly ever wear it again. Next week I might do the same again. I never thought about where it came from, who made it, and why it was so cheap. But then I saw an advert in a local newspaper for young people to take part in a TV documentary. We would be working at a clothes factory in New Delhi, India, for two weeks to find out how manufacturers could make such cheap clothes. I was studying journalism at university, so this seemed perfect. And after all, how hard could making T-shirts be? My first day in the factory began at 7:30 am. As I approached, I was immediately shocked by the dirty, rundown building. The supervisor showed me the basement where I would be working. It was a huge, noisy. boiling hot room where at least a hundred other people were already hard at work. I sat down at one of the old sewing machines. Today, I was sewing pockets on shirts and my goal was fifty an hour, but after 30 minutes, I'd finished just four. My supervisor came over and told me disapprovingly that if I continued like that, I wouldn't get paid. I felt like crying. I worked for 12 hours, with just fifteen minutes for lunch, but at the end of the day, the factory owner handed me 100 rupees about £1.50! Later, I went to buy some toothpaste but found it cost more than a day's wages. By far the biggest surprise, though, was that just like the other factory workers, I would be sleeping on the factory floor every night! That evening, I spoke with some of the young girls. "Why aren't you angry about the conditions in the factory?" I asked one of them." I am, but there is no other work here," she explained. "It's the factory or the street and if you say anything, you lose your job." The other girls nodded in agreement. For two weeks, I worked 12 hours a day for 6 days a week and slept in the factory. It was the most exhausting time of my life. I never managed to work fast enough or well enough, so my wages were lowered and I was moved from sewing shirts to glueing parts of shoes together. The chemicals in the hot glue made it difficult to breathe and strange rashes appeared on my skin. Eventually, I was demoted to the lowliest position in the factory- sewing on buttons. The only times I was happy were when I was talking to my friend Aleya after work. I started teaching her to read. Lack of education is a major problem here. Who has time for school when 12 hours' work can barely buy your family food? Back home, I refuse to go to cheap high street shops anymore because they make me feel sick. How can people spend £15 on a T-shirt while Aleya slaves for £9 a week? So I've started campaigning for ethical fashion; I write letters to governments and big stores to complain about sweatshop labour. I still like fashion, but I've found fairtrade designers online. They're more expensive, but now I just buy one quality piece of clothing every few months. I hope that when people see the documentary, they think twice before grabbing that dirt-cheap pair of jeans in the future. We all need to understand the true cost of cheap clothes.
