I come
from Cambridge, a beautiful city in the east of England. It is on the River Cam and has
a population of about 120, 000. My hometown is especially famous for its university. Many famous people studied here, such as Isaac Newton and Charles
Darwin. There are lots of old buildings and churches to visit. Students and tourists enjoy
trips along the river by boat.
Cambridge
is 80 kilometers from London. London is in the south of England and it is on the River Thames. It has a population of about
seven and a half million, so it is bigger and busier than Cambridge. It is about 2, 000 years old, and it is famous for Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and Tower
Bridge.
England
itself is part of an island, and you are always near the sea. The small villages and beaches
on the coast are popular for holidays. Tourists like the areas of low mountains and beautiful lakes in the
north, and the hills and pretty villages in the south. Everywhere in England, you will notice how green the
countryside is.
It is never very hot in summer
or very cold in winter. So come and see England any time of the year, but bring an umbrella with you. It rains a lot all year round. You will need it most days.
