LONDON London began life as a Roman fortification at a place where the Thames was narrow enough and it was possible to build the bridge. A wall was built around the town for defence, but during the long period of peace which followed the Norman Conquest, people built outside the walls. The building continued, especially to the west of the city. In 1665 there was a terrible plague in London, so many people left the city and escaped to the villages in the surrounding countryside. In 1666 the Great Fire of London ended the plague, but it also destroyed much of the city. Although people returned to live in the rebuilt city after the plague and the Great Fire, there were never again so many Londoners living in the city centre.
These days not many people live in the city centre. Today the metropolis of Greater London covers some 610 square miles (1580 square kilometres) and the suburbs of London continue even beyond this area. The gradual growth of the city helps to explain the fact that London does not have just one centre, it has a number of centres, each with a distinct character: the financial and business centre called the City, the shopping and entertainment centre is the West End, and the government centre in Westminster.
The City of London is one of the major banking centres of the world and you can find banks of many nations in the famous Threadneedle Street and the surrounding area. Here you can find the Bank of England. Nearby is the Stock Exchange which is like a busy market, except that here no food but shares in commercial companies are bought and sold.
The East End covers a wide area to the east of the City. There are many docks and warehouse there. It is also one of those areas of London where people from abroad have come to find work. The East End is also famous as the centre of the clothing industry in London.
The West End is the name given to the area of central London north from The Mall to Oxford Street. It includes Trafalgar Square, the main shopping areas, and the entertainment centres of Soho, Piccadilly Circus and Shaftsbury Avenue. Its name is associated with glamour and bright lights.

Як на мене, то я дуже люблю театр, особливо Театр української драми імені Івана Франка.
Я надзвичайно ціную трупу цього театру. Мені подобаються традиційні театральні декорації, майстерно зроблені костюми. І, звичайно, це дуже важливо, які п'єси знаходяться в репертуарі. Київський театр української драми завжди ретельно добирає п'єси для його репертуару.
Іноді дуже важко дістати квитки на спектакль.
Недавно я відвідав Театр української драми, де я бачив п'єсу «Благочестива Марта» іспанського драматурга Лопе де Вега.
Головні ролі в спектаклі були зіграні відомими акторами. У цілому, цей спектакль має чудовий склад.
Цього разу наші місця були в другому ряду партеру. Перед початком ми купили програму.
У цьому спектаклі багато музики. Але чим я особливо насолодився в цій виставі було почуття гумору, яке пройшло крізь увесь спектакль.
Я вважаю, це була одна з найкращих робіт, яку я побачив у цьому сезоні.

As for me I like theatre very much, especially, The Ivan Franko Ukrainian Drama Theatre.
I highly appreciate the cast of this theatre. I like the traditional scenery, skill-made costumes. And, of course, it's very important what plays are in the repertoire. The Kyiv Ukrainian Drama Theatre always chooses the plays for its repertoire very thoroughly.
Sometimes it is very difficult to get tickets to the performance.
Not long ago I visited The Ukrainian Drama Theatre, where I saw the play "The Pious Martha" by the Spanish playwright Lope de Vega.
The leading parts in the performance were played by the well-known actors. Generally speaking this production has an excellent cast.
This time our seats were in the second row of the pit. Before the beginning of the performance we bought a bill.
There is a lot of music in this production. But what I especially enjoyed in this performance was the sense of humour which permeated the whole performance.
I consider it was one of the best performances I have seen this season.
