Hi, Linda!
Thanks for your email. How are you? I’m doing my
homework. How boring!
All the family are here and are busy too. Mum’s in the
living room. She’s making some phone calls. Dad’s
working in the garden. It’s hard work. My little brother,
Tom, is helping him. He’s planting some flowers. My
sister, Zoe, is having a good time though. She’s playing
games with her friend.
What are you doing? Any plans for Sunday? Write back
soon.
Love,
Rosie

Big
Ben
Bell
What’s this?

14.

Every year, millions of
tourists come to see
London to see Big
Ben, what exactly is
Big Ben?
Most people think that
Big Ben is the tall clock
tower that stands above
the Houses of
Parliament. Well, no!

15.

Big Ben is not the clock
tower. It is one of the
four huge bells inside
the tower.
Its name comes from
the bell’s commissioner
of works, Sir Benjamin
Hall, or Ben.

16.

Each of the four clock
faces is 7 metres wide.
The hour hands are
about 3 metres long.
The tower is 98
meters high. The bell
inside the tower is 14
tons. The clock on the
tower is also huge.

17.

Perhaps one day you can go to London and see
this amazing tourist attraction.
