Top 10 Attractions in London

In unit 8 we are talking about transport. In London the fastest way to move around is the underground, or the tube, as Londoners call it. The most important attractions are near an underground station. But what do tourists visit in London?

Watch the video and enjoy a quick tour of London. When you finish, write a comment and tell me about your three favourite places that appear in the video.

Have a nice trip!

One last question: Have you ever travelled abroad? If you have, tell me about it. If you haven't, tell me about your last trip in Spain.

My bedroom

Look at the picture. It is my bedroom. This is the place where I study and read my favourite books. Sometimes I watch TV there too. I love my bed. It's so comfortable. There are many things in my bedroom, but it's always clean and tidy. I tidy my bedroom every Saturday morning. 

What about you? What is your bedroom like? Can you describe it? Write a short text about the things you have got in your bedroom and what you do there.

Now, play this game. What can you find in a bedroom? (Click on the picture)

Can you ...? SUPERMAN

Everybody knows that Superman is a superhero. He has got special powers and special abilities that make him an idol for us, simple human beings. Here is a short list of the things Superman can do:

• Superman can lift a car over his head
• Superman can jump a 50m building
• Superman can run faster than a speeding bullet
• Superman can see through solid objects
• Superman can emit solar energy from his eyes
• Superman can hear a conversation that takes place in another part of the city
• Superman can fly

Well, we are no superheroes but we have some abilities too. What are your abilities? What can you do?
Write a short text and tell me what you can or can't do. Then, play this game and write down your final score and the time you needed to complete the game. The faster, the better. You need to be as fast as Superman to win!
