Imagine that you took the tour of London. Write a diary entry of about 70 words

Suggested answers:
The tour of London began at 9:30 a.m. First, we went to Buckingham Palace. We
visited the Queen's Garden and saw her collection of artworks. At 11:30 a.m. we
watched the Changing of the Guard. We then went to Big Ben. We took a lot of
photos there. At 3:15 p.m., we took a boat ride on the River Thames. We saw
many historic attractions along the river. I enjoyed the tour very much.
