Read the dialogue. Then read the questions and choose the correct answers. «Queen’s presents»
― Olga: What’s that, Stephen? Have you got a new camera?― Stephen: Yeah. Just what I’ve always wanted. It’s a Christmas present from my
parents.― Olga: Really? I’m so happy for you. I love presents. I wish I were a queen, then I
would get presents every day.― Stephen: Believe it or not, Olga, but this is what happens in real life. I’ve read a
magazine that for Queen Elizabeth, for example, every day is Christmas day. ― Olga: You’re kidding!― Stephen: Not at all. And some of the presents are very unusual. Once an American
hot-dog firm sent her a big box of hot-dogs with mustard. ― Olga: Oh, no! What did she do with them?― Stephen: I have no idea. But it’s clear that presents can be a big problem. Once,
when the Queen returned from Canada she brought home a mink coat, a large statue of a horse, a pair of snowshoes, a motor-boat, a piece of iron, a silver jug and a large painting of a power station.
― Olga: What does the Queen do with these presents? Where can she put a large statue?
― Stephen: There are 775 rooms in Buckingham Palace and the Queen tries to use all of her presents. And she gives many of her presents to museums, especially the British Museum.
― Olga: I’d so much like to go to London one day and visit the British Museum and see Buckingham Palace and Hyde Park and Big Ben.
― Stephen: I hope your dream will come true.

The City
The West End
The East End
The City is the oldest part of London, its
financial and business centre. There are many
offices, companies and banks in this
part of the capital. The Tower of
London and St Paul’s Cathedral
are situated in the City.
Westminster is the most important part of London,
where Parliament and most
government offices are located.
Westminster Abbey is regarded as the centre of this area.
The East End used to be a purely
working district where working-class families
lived. We still can find a great number of factories,
workshops and docks there. But
now the docks are being renovated.
The West End is a symbol of
wealth and luxury. The
best hotels, the most expensive
restaurants, clubs, theatres, cinemas, shops
and supermarkets
are located here.
