                                             THEATRE IN LONDON

   Most British cities have a theatre, but London has the greatest number. There are over 50 theatres in London’s West End, the area in London with the most theatres, and about 35 smaller fringe theatres.

   In recent years musicals have been very successful. About 5.5 million people, many of them tourists, go to see a musical every year in London. The best-known contemporary composer of musicals is Andrew Lloyd Webber. His musical Cats is the longest-running musical.

   Going to the theatre in Britain is not only popular but also expensive. Not many young people can afford to go. It is possible to get cheaper tickets by going to afternoon performances called matinees or by buying stand-bys, half-price tickets which are sold half an hour before a performance starts.

2) EDINBURGH M.Vinchinskiy

👉Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland and one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. It lies in seven hills and goes down those hills to the sea. The highest hill is three hundred metres above the sea. From the street in the centre of the city, you can see ships coming to Edinburgh from different countries of the world.

   👉 the « old town » the streets are narrow. The tall houses with narrow windows go up the hills to Edinburgh Castle, which is one thousand years old. The modern town lies at the foot of the hills. 

   Robert Burns, the great Scottish poet, published his first book of poems in Edinburgh. There is a monument to him in the city. Edinburgh is also proud of Walter Scott, the father of the historical novel in world literature, and Robert Louis Stevenson, a famous English writer.

This city is a great educational centre, there are three universities. For example, Alexander Bell, the inventor of the telephone, also lived and worked in Edinburgh.

   The Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh is another official residence of the Queen beside Buckingham Palace. This Palace is a museum with many museums inside it. 

It seems that past and present live in Edinburgh side by side, and it gives a special charm to the city. But in fact, Edinburgh is a busy town.
