A:It's interesting that as a financial center London looks so different from New York.

B:Indeed it does. By the way,what do you think has impressed you most in London?

A:I don't think I can say for sure. There are so many things that have left a deep impression on me. Yes,there is one thing worth mentioning at least. Although the buildings here seem old-fashioned,they have a peculiar flavor of their own.

B:Look at the nameplate on the wall of the corner building. We're getting near to Trafalgar Square now.

A:It's interesting where the British people place the road signs,but what's Trafalgar Square?

B:It's a busy road junction with Nelson's statue.

A:Oh,yes,I know something about British History. He's the admiral that defeated Napoleon.

B:You're right. There may not be much to see on the square itself,but it's easy to get from there to many interesting places in London.

A:Can you mention a few so that we can decide where to go this morning?

B:Sure,it's not far from here to the Thames. If you like,we can take a walk on the embankment.

A:What if we go to see Buckingham Palace first?

B:That's not far away either. Indeed you've got a very good idea. We can walk down the Mall which is wide and clean with quite a number of beautiful statues. It's so pleas ant to have a walk there.

A:Then let's walk down the Mall.

B:You'll see on one side of the Mall a beautiful park and ifwe have enough time,we may also visit the Houses of Parliament today.

Dialogue B

A:We're lucky today.

B:Yes,there aren't any clouds in the sky and we're got such a beautiful view here. Look!This is St. James Park. And there's Buckingham Palace.

A:Where's Hyde Park?

B:It's on the other side of the Palace.

A:That's the place where people make speeches on Sundays,isn't it?

B:Yes,you're right. Politicians of all kinds,religious people,and one or two madmen.

A:Well,are we going there today?I want to take some shots there.

B:Sure. I can see you're enjoying your trip today.

A:Of course. Everything's so striking and fascinating.
