ПРИЛОЖЕНИЕ 2
HYDE PARK covers an area of 360 acres. Beneath Hyde Park there
is a car park for 500 cars and also a tube station. On the north of Hyde Park there is a
very famous place called ‘Speaker’s Corner’ where, only on Sundays, any person can
talk on any subject. One of the most famous speakers there is Lord Soper who is a
politician. Here you will see what we call “hecklers”. They are people who try to
upset the person speaking. It is well worth a visit on Sunday from 10.00 until they
finish.
TRAFALGAR SQUARE is a very famous square where on New Year’s
Eve people gather to celebrate. At midnight people jump into the fountains fully clothed
and enjoy themselves. In the middle of the square there is a very famous statue
“Nelson’s Column” which is over 170 feet high. The statue on the top is in memory of
Lord Horatio Nelson who won the most famous sea battle at Trafalgar. This column is
cleaned once every seven years. It is a very difficult job as they have to climb to the
top and clean all the mess the pigeons have made on the statue. Trafalgar Square has
become famous as a rallying point for all kinds of demonstrations, marches and political
meetings.
NATIONAL GALLERY. The whole of the north side of Trafalgar
Square is dominated by the National Gallery. It houses one of the finest art collections
in the world. It includes paintings from British, Italian, Spanish, French, Dutch, Flemish
and other famous schools. It has a priceless collection of paintings by the famous artists
Van Gogh, Reubens, Constable and any other painter you wish to name.
THE TOWER OF LONDON is a very old building, – nine hundred
years old! In the early days of England the English kings lived in the Tower. Then it was
a prison where many people died. Black ravens had much food near the walls of the Tower in
those days. Now the Tower of London is a museum housing the National Collection of Armour
and Royal Regalias, and many tourists from other countries come to see it. They see the
dark stone halls with small windows and thick doors. Something that should not be missed
is the Crown Jewels, a priceless collection of every jewel known. The Tower is still
guarded by the Yeomen Warders, the famous Beefeaters, who wear a traditional
sixteen-century uniform.
TOWER BRIDGE was opened in 1894. It takes its name from the
Tower of London. The hydraulic mechanism can raise and lower the bridge in about one and a
half minutes. The covered walkway between the two towers is open to the public and offers
a spectacular view of London.
ST. PAUL’S CATHEDRAL. The City’s greatest monument, St.
Paul’s Cathedral was built by Sir Christopher Wren between 1675 and 1710 to replace the
old Cathedral that was largely destroyed in the Great Fire of 1666. The Cathedral is
second in size only to St. Peter’s in Rome. Between the two west towers rises the famous
dome. It is 365 feet high and beneath it is the celebrated “Whispering Gallery”.
Unfortunately Christopher Wren died before its completion. He is buried there. Among the
many memorials to famous men within the Cathedral are the tombs of Wellington, victor of
Waterloo, and Nelson, hero of Trafalgar.
BUCKINGHAM PALACE is the official residence of Her Majesty the
Queen and her family. It isn’t open to the public. The first monarch who took residence
there was Queen Victoria. When Her Majesty is in residence the Royal Standard flies over
the east front of Buckingham Palace. It has 600 hundred rooms, a swimming pool, a cinema,
a ballroom, a nuclear cellar and a garden, which is like a private park. In summer the
Queen gives three garden parties for about 9,000 guests. The ceremony of the Changing of
the Guard at Buckingham Palace is a great tourist attraction. It take place daily in the
forecourt at 11.30 a.m. and lasts half an hour. To the sound of music, the guardsmen in
their traditional bearskins arrive and pass the palace keys to another group.
THE THAMES is not a long river. It is three hundred and thirty
kilometres long and it flows into the sea. The English people call it “the Father of
London”. London began on the Thames. When we go in a ship up the Thames we pass under
London Bridge, the Tower Bridge and others. There is a museum of old ships on the Thames.
These ships are from the history of Great Britain. One of these ships, the
“Discovery”, went to the South Pole from 1901–1904. If we go down the Thames we pass
the Port of London and arrive in Greenwich – a very old town. We can see the place where
the Greenwich Meridian passes.
WESTMINSTER ABBEY is a symbol of English tradition at its best.
The coronations of nearly all English kings and queens since William the Conqueror have
taken place here. Many of them are buried within the Abbey. Beneath the roof of this
Gothic building there are also the graves and memorial slabs of statesmen, philosophers,
men of letters and other distinguished people. Here you can see memorials to Isaac Newton,
Charles Darwin, Geoffrey Chaucer, Alfred Tennyson, Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy.
BIG BEN. The Houses of Parliament is a very large building which
stands near the Thames. There are two tall towers at the corners of the building and one
of them is the Clock Tower. It is 320 feet high and is famous for its immense hour bell.
The English people built the tower and the clock in 1858. The clock has four faces and
five big bells. The biggest bell is known as Big Ben. The bell weighs 13 tons. Originally,
the man in charge of the building was Sir Benjamin Hall. He was very tall and the workers
and his friends called him Big Ben. So they called the bell Big Ben too. Sometimes people
call the clock and the Clock Tower Big Ben. The people of London who live near the Houses
of Parliament can hear the sounds of the bell every hour. On New Year’s night people
come to the Clock Tower to see in the New Year.
THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. Once a royal palace, the Houses of
Parliament are now the seat of the Government. In 1834 it was destroyed by fire. The new
building was built between 1840–1852. It contains 500 apartments. Among them are the
Central Hall, Clock Tower (St. Stephen’s Tower), the House of Lords, the House of
Commons. The Houses of Parliament stretch for nearly 1000 feet along the north bank of the
Thames. When the House is in session a Union Jack flies from the tower by day, and a light
burns in the Clock Tower by night.
