London has a population of about 7000000. From about 1800 until World War Ⅱ. London was the biggest city in the world, but now there are many cities which are much bigger.

London is famous for many things. Tourists come from all over the world to visit its famous buildings and hear the famous clock, Big Ben.

Like many big cities, London has problems with traffic and pollution. Over 1000000 people a day use the London underground, but there are still too many cars on the streets. The air isn’t clean, but it is cleaner than it was 100 years ago.

For me, the best things about London are the parks. There are five in the city center. But my children’s favorite place is Hamleys, the biggest toy shop in the world!

Do you enjoy travelling and eating?

If your answer is yes, you’ll surely love visiting Macau (澳门). Join us on our exciting two-day tour!

Our tour begins at the Ruin of St Paul’s. A fire burned (燃烧) this famous church (教堂) many years ago, but one wall was still remaining. Tourists from all over the world come to visit it.

Next, we’ll visit the Museum of Macau, which shows you the history and tradition of the city. You should miss none of the exhibitions（展品）! They are all amazing!

After that, we’ll go to Macau Tower, the 10th tallest tower in the world. This is certainly the best place to see the city.

The next day, we’ll enjoy many of the best foods of Macau. Anyone who has visited Macau will tell the food is hard to keep from enjoying! One of the places we’ll take you to is Lord Stow’s Bakery—nobody should miss the egg tarts (蛋挞) there!

Finally, we’ll end our tour at Nam Van Lake, where we’ll watch an excellent laser(激光) show.

Come and join our tour! There’s something for everyone in Macau!

In China, many people are leaving the countryside to find jobs in the cities, because the countryside is much poorer than the city, and often there isn’t much work there. Services such as hospital and transport are usually much better in the city than in the countryside. They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city.

But in the big cities of Europe like London or Paris, people are moving out of the city. These rich families want to live a quieter life. They are tired of the noise and the dirt of the city, and they are tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses. They don’t want to live in the cities any more. They want a house with a garden in the countryside, and breathe the fresh air there.

So they move out of the cities. Some don’t go very far, just a little way out of the city, to the towns near the cities, other people move to the real countryside with sheep, cows and green fields. There, they start new lives and try to make new friends.

Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy. After two or three years, many people who have done this feel that it is a big mistake. They don’t make so much money and there isn’t much work to do. People in the countryside are very different and aren’t always very friendly.

As a result, quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city. “It’s wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights,” they say.
