1. LONDON

This is a map of Europe. England is in Europe. England is on the east side of the Atlantic Ocean.

This is a plan of London. London is in England. Nearly nine million persons live in London. It is a large city on both sides of the Thames. The Thames is a river in England. The river Thames is very wide. Bridges connect the two parts of the city.

The large building with towers is the Houses of Parliament. The building is near the Thames. It is on the right-hand side of the river, near a bridge. They call it[2] Westminster Bridge. We see a large clock near the top of the tower on the left. They call it Big Ben.

The white building with two square towers in front of the Houses of Parliament is Westminster Abbey. At the other end of Westminster Bridge, on the left-hand side, we see a big square building with a curved front. On the right-hand side we see six or seven square buildings. They are a large hospital.

Listen! Big Ben strikes the hours:one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve. Good night!
