倫敦是一座歷史悠久的城市。本文作者游覽了倫敦塔、五大皇家公園、特拉法加廣場和博物館。特別是在博物館，游客們可以從中了解到更多的英國歷史。同學(xué)們，若有機會也去倫敦參觀一下吧！

My first visit to London was one and a half years ago. It was a wonderful trip. I stayed in the city for three weeks， and I had many impressions（印象）. I visited all the fam?

ous places. Id like to tell you about some of the places I visited in this beautiful city.

First， I went to the Tower of London， and I want to say that it is a very interesting and historical place. I found out that a long time ago， it was a prison（監(jiān)獄）. And now its a castle （城堡） for the royal （皇家的） family.

In London， you can also enjoy nature. There are many parks such as Regents Park， Hyde Park， Green Park， St. James Park， and Holland Park. These parks are wonderful， green and quiet places. In the parks， you can relax and get away from the noise of the city.

Trafalgar Square is a popular place for students and other young people. You can find lots of pigeons（鴿子） there. If you have time， you can feed them and they will be very happy. You can buy special food for them， but be careful！ Tons of birds will sur?round you if you feed them.

I was also impressed with the museums in London. Theyre very popular. I think they are interesting and you can learn more about the history of England.

I enjoyed myself in London. I really like it because it is a city with the rich history.

典句賞析

1.First， I went to the Tower of London， and I want to say that it is a very interesting and historical place. 首先，我去了倫敦塔，我想說它是一個非常有趣的歷史古跡。

本句中的動詞want后的動詞不定式短語作其賓語;從屬連詞that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句作動詞say的賓語。

2.Tons of birds will surround you if you feed them. 會有很多鳥上來圍著你，如果你喂它們（食物）的話。

本句是一個復(fù)合句，其從句為if引導(dǎo)的條件狀語從句。在本復(fù)合句中，當(dāng)主句是一般將來時，那么條件狀語從句常常用一般現(xiàn)在時。

3.I really like it because it is a city with the rich history. 我真的喜歡這個城市，因為它是一個歷史悠久的城市。

本句中的because引導(dǎo)的是原因狀語從句;介詞短語with the rich history在此作定語，修飾名詞city。
