I wish I were in London now. If I were
there I would organize an excursion
and would give you a good idea about
this wonderful city.
As we know, London is the capital of
Great Britain and one of the largest
industrial and cultural centers in
Europe.
I suppose you will share the opinion
that in this historic city modern rules
shoulders with the old, the present
arises from the past, the great and the
small live side by side in mutual
tolerance and respect and in every part
of its noisy and complex life there is to
be found a great affection for old
traditions and history.
I don’t know if you have had a
possibility to visit this exciting city but
I insist that you should do it. And I will
give a piece of advice how to plan your
tour of the city.
The best starting point for all the
excursions is well known Trafalgar
square with Nelson’s Column in the
center. The square was named to
commemorate the victory of British
vice-admiral Nelson at the battle of
Trafalgar in 1805 and the Column is
surmounted with his statue. I have
managed to see this monument and it
has made a great impression on me.
Then I recommend you to see the
Houses of Parliament on the north
bank of the river Thames. It also has
another name – the Palace of
Westminster - as in the past here lived
kings and queens.
This ensemble is a remarkable example
of Gothic architecture: the buildings
seem to be directed high into the air
and of course are worth seeing. And
here you will find the famous Clock
Tower, called “Big Ben”.
The next stop is Westminster Abbey. It
is a big church and a national shrine, a
place, where English kings and queens
are crowned and famous people are
buried. It’s well known for its’ Poets’
Corner with memorials to English poets
and writers who were buried here.
Everybody has heard about Saint Paul’s
Cathedral. It is the largest Protestant
Church in England and a remarkable
architectural masterpiece. It contains
the unique Whispering Gallery where
you can hear the whisper of the person,
standing at the other end of the gallery.
And at the end you should see the
majestic and dreary Tower of London,
which has an abundant history. It was
one of the first and most impressive
castles built after the Norman invasion
of England in the 11th century. It has
been used as a royal palace, an
observatory, and arsenal and, finally,
as a state prison. And now it’s a
museum where you can see the Crown
Jewels - the finest precious stones of the
English nation and a great collection of
armour.
No doubt that in London there are
many other sights – Tate Gallery, City,
Hyde Park and others, and everyone
will find a preference according to his
taste.
You should only remember that in this
city you will get fresh impressions, take
great delight in viewing monuments
and discover the history of England.
I think it necessary that every person
should visit London!

Verse writing is very popular, especially when it is funny. One of the best things about limericks is that they nearly always give you a giggle.
A good limerick is not an easy thing to write. When you read them, you might think they are simple to invent, but they are not, because there are rules you have to stick to. Limericks always have five lines and they are always nonsensical. The secret is to have a story in your limerick, to get a good couple of rhymes and always to have a funny last line.
Limericks are certainly not a modern invention. In fact, they are so old, nobody is quite sure how they started, but something most people agree about is that they began in Ireland. As long ago as the year AD 800, Irishmen were writing verses in this rather peculiar way. They did not have jokes in them in those days but they all had five lines and they all went with a swing when you said them. So much so, that scholars called the rhythm of the verses the "swinging metre".
Nobody knows for sure why a limerick is called a limerick, but it is also the name of one of the most famous towns in Ireland.
As the years passed, limericks spread to England. In 1820 a set was written called "Anecdotes and Adventures of Fifteen Young Ladies"; then another one came out called "The history of Sixteen Wonderful Old Women". There were sixteen separate limericks, each one about a different old woman, and they were certainly were a very peculiar lot!

There was a young lady
Whose nose was so long
that it reached to her toes;
So she hired an old lady
Whose conduct was steady,
To carry that wonderful nose. There was an old person of Fife,
Who was greatly disgusted with life;
They sang him a ballad,
And fed him on salad,
Which cured that old person of Fife.

One of the first complete books of limericks to be published was called "A Book of Nonsense". It was published in 1846 and the author was Edward Lear. He was actually a painter, so book, but it all started when he was working in the country mansion of the Earl of Derby.
Edward Lear had been asked to do some coloured paintings of the Earl's collection of parrots. As well as parrots, the Earl had a lot of grandchildren, and Edward Lear somehow had to keep them amused as well. So he started writing his limericks, and to go with each one, he drew a little sketch.
There was an old man of the North,
Who fell into a basin of broth;
But a laudable 2 cook
Fished him out with a hook,
Which saved that old man of the North.The earl of Derby's grandchildren thought these were great fun, and when "A Book of Nonsense" was published, so did everyone else. Limerick writing became very popular, and many great authors turned their hand to them.
But it was in 1907 that the craze for limericks really caught on. Each week two famous London magazines ran competitions for the best limericks and hundreds of thousands of people used to enter. Since then people have never stopped writing limericks.
