My weekend!

On Saturday I went to London by bus. I stayed in London last year, but I didn't visit the British Museum, and I spent all the day shopping. This year I visited the British Museum. It's very big and has a lot of rooms and things.
 
On Sunday I spent the morning playing football with my friends. In the afternoon I had a barbecue with my host family and other people that I didn't know, and I watched the match with them: the match was very exciting and when Spain scored I was very happy.

My weekend

On Saturday, we went to London. There, we visited the London Eye, the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palance, Big Ben, Oxford Street and Hyde Park. Then, I went shopping in shops like Abercrombie and Fitch, the coolest shop in the world, and Gap. When I was in the street I met some Spanish friends. I went to have a coffe and finally I went to catch the bus.
 
On Sunday, I went to Solihull centre with my friends, we ate there and then we went to a pub to watch the match. We were very excited and when Spain scored the goal I was very happy.

London

On my left, I had Buckingham Palace, the guards of the Queen were in front of a big door of the Palace of the Queen, and this last one was in her bedroom...Well, I didn't know where she was, but she wasn't in the terrace as in a lot of films.
 
Ten minutes later we went to "Abercrombie&Fitch". A lot of people told me that it's the biggest shop in the world. A long queue separated me from the shop, but when I entered...It was so cool! I had never seen a shop like that! It wasn't a normal shop, it was like a disco! But a long queue to pay for my new T-shirt...another time, maybe.

LONDON

On Saturday I went to London. In London I visited a lot of landmarks like Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, the London Eye, Picadilly Circus, St.Paul's Cathedral, Hyde Parl, etc. But my favourite landmark that I saw yesterday is the Tower of London and London Bridge.
 
 When I had freem time, the first thing I did was to visit Abercrombie&Fitch store, where I bought a pair of T-shirts and i took a photo with a pretty girl who works in there. Then I walked along Regent Street and Oxford Street too. I really liked them because there were a lot of shops.
 
Finally I arrived at Hyde Park, at Speakers' Corner where I had to meet with the other students and we took the coach to return to Solihull.
I had a beautiful and exciting dady in the capital of England: London.

Diary

On Saturday, I went to London. First, I saw Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, the Tower of London and then I went on the underground to Harrods, but I couldn't enter because I wore a school bag and the security guards didn't allow me to enter. So I went to Abercrombie instead but the queue was very large and I didn't have time. Then, I went to Hamleys shop. I liked it very much but it was very expensive and I didn't buy anything.

On Sunday, I woke up later and I went to a festival of cars with my father and his child. In the afternoon, I went with my mother to do the shopping in a supermarket. In the evening I went to a friend's house of my parents and we watched the match, Holland vs. Spain together. Spain won. Very good. I felt very proud.
