(слайд 9) Buckingham Palace is the official residence (home) of the British Queen Elisabeth II. (слайд 10) She is living there most of the time. When she is at home the national flag is flying over the palace. The queen has got her own guards.

G.: Yes, some of your answers are correct. First of all it was a castle. But then it was a palace, a prison and even a zoo. And now it is a historical museum. (слайд 13) The guides there are Yeomen Warders or Beefeaters. They have different responsibilities and only one of them is named Raven master. He must feed the ravens in the Tower. It is believed that if the ravens leave the Tower the monarchy will fall. And now we are going to watch the Ceremony of Keys which takes place in the Tower every night. Watch it and answer my questions:

P.: (variants of answers)

G.: It’s like two towers on the stone ships in the middle of the Thames. It is one of the most beautiful bridges not only in London but in the world. It was opened in 1894.

And we are returning to the Westminster Palace. Across the Thames opposite the Palace there is the London Eye. (слайд 17) 

The London Eye (слайд 18) is a 135-metre (443 ft) tall giant Ferris wheel. It was erected in 1999. It is the tallest Ferris wheel in Europe, and the most popular paid tourist attraction in the UK.

Do you want to ride on such a Ferris wheel? Why have the passenger cars got such an unusual form?

P.: (giving answers)
