Dear Alex,

How are you? I am in the capital of England, in London. My parents and I have always dreamed of visiting this beautiful city.

There are many beautiful old buildings. We have already visited Westminster Abbey, Big Ben (now called Elizabeth Tower), the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, St. Paul's Cathedral, London Bridge, the Tower of London and  Madame Tussaud's wax museum. In this museum there are figures of many famous people from pop stars to prime ministers, made of wax. They look like real thing. It's so interesting.

My parents and I are now walking to Trafalgar Square. At its centre there is Nelson's Column, which is guarded by four bronze lions. By the way, I sent you this postcard with a picture of Trafalgar Square.

The weather today is a bit foggy and rainy. But this does not spoil our walk.

We took a lot of photos. Next week we'll be home and I'll show them to you.

Do not miss the opportunity to visit England and London.

Best wishes,

Diana

Дорогой Алекс,

Как дела? Я в столице Англии - в Лондоне. Мои родители и я всегда мечтали о посещении этого прекрасного города.

Здесь много красивых старинных зданий. Мы уже осмотрели Вестминстерское аббатство, Биг Бен (теперь это называется башня Елизаветы), здание Парламента, Букингемский дворец, Кафедральный собор Св. Павла, Лондонский мост, Лондонский Тауэр и музей восковых фигур мадам Тюссо. В этом музее есть фигуры известных людей от поп-звезд до премьер-министров, сделанные из воска. Они выглядят как настоящие. Это так интересно.

Мои родители и я гуляем сейчас по Трафальгарской площади. В ее центре стоит Колонна Нельсона, которую у основания охраняют четыре статуи львов. Кстати, я послала тебе эту открытку с изображением Трафальгарской площади.

Погода сегодня не очень, туманно и дождливо. Но это не портит нашу прогулку.

Мы сделали много фотографий. На следующей неделе мы будем дома, и я покажу тебе их.

Не упусти возможность посетить Англию и Лондон.

С наилучшими пожеланиями,

Diana
