IVESS20170608-London: The Crown Jewel of England 魅惑英倫 x 無與倫比(b)

Emma has just arrived in London to visit her friend James. E: Thanks for showing me around London. J: No worries. I have a great day planned for us. E: Will we visit Buckingham Palace? I’ve always dreamed of meeting the Queen. J: Sure, but I doubt we’ll get to see her. But we can watch the changing of the guard. E: What’s that? J: It’s a ceremony1 where the soldiers who protect2 the Queen change places in front of the palace. E: That sounds like fun. What will we do afterwards? J: I thought we could visit Big Ben. That’s the famous clock that is on a bunch of3 postcards. E: Of course, I know about that. I want to take a picture in front of it and post it to Facebook. J: Then, I was thinking we could take a ride on one of London’s famous red buses so you can see more of the city. E: Cool, I want to sit on the top level. I bet it has a better view. J: Speaking of4 nice views, I got us tickets for the London Eye later this afternoon. We can see the whole city from the top of it. James and Emma sit down at a restaurant after a long day of sightseeing5. E: Today was interesting. I learned a lot about London’s history. J: That’s great! Tomorrow, I’ll introduce you to some fun things about English culture. E: What’s our schedule6? J: I know you love music, so let’s start at Abbey Road Studios. E: I’m a huge Beatles fan, so I was hoping we’d go there. I want to take some funny pictures in the crosswalk▼ where the Beatles walked for the cover of one of their albums. J: Right on! In the evening, I got us tickets to a soccer match at Wembley Stadium. E: I’m not sure if I’ll like that. I don’t follow sports. J: Trust me. It’ll be fun. British people are crazy about soccer. The fans have lots of energy7. They sing songs and cheer loudly for their team. It is truly a cultural experience. E: All right. I’ll take your word for it. (The waiter comes to take their order.) E: Hmmm... What should I get to eat? J: You should try the fish and chips▼. It’s the most popular dish in London. E: Good idea. I’ll have a tall pint▼ of English ale▼ with that as well. J: That’s the spirit8! Cheers to London! E: Cheers!
