iil OK, well I'm from Londonand maybeI'm a bit
r i
biased,but for me, it'sthe bestcity in the world.
What makesit so great?There'sso manythings
that it's difficultto know whereto staft.
To start with, I think Londonis a very historic
city,a lot of significantthingshappenedhereand
thereare lots of greatplacesto visit if you want
to know more about London'spast.Two places
I'd reallyrecommendare the Towerof London,
wherethey usedto imprisonand then execute
famoustraitors,and Shakespeare's Globetheatre
wherethere'sa fascinating exhibitaboutlifein
'16th
the century.
But London'salso a very moderncity, it's been
the hometo manynew trendsand fashionsin
the 20th and 21st centuries,for examplethere's
some amazingmodernarchitecture, as well as
greatclubs and venuesif you want to listento
the latestsounds.
AnotherreasonI love Londonis that it's a
verycosmopolitan city - the peoplewho live
in Londoncomefrom all overthe worldand
some districtsare stronglyinfluencedby other
cultures.You can also try food from many
differentcountries.
I alsothink Londonis a brilliantplacefor
tourists- thereare so manyfantasticmuseums
and famous placesto visit,and of coursethe
shopping'sgreat.Go shoppingin the department
storesin OxfordStreetor visitthe marketat
CamdenLock.
Are thereany negativepoints?Well,if you don't
likethe busy,fast-movingrhythmof a big city,
then Londonmay not be for you, and likeany big
city thereis quitea lot of congestion,streetcrime
and some placesit's betternot to go.
But for me, there'sno placelikeit. As the English
authorSamuelJohnsonsaid,'Whena man is
tiredof London,he is tiredof life.'And I simply
haveto agree.

Audioscript, exercise 1,

Good morning,and welcome.I'm AliceHo'.',:
your headteacher,and I'm heretodayto gi.3 ^'ti*
some adviceabout study skillsas you starl - :-':
sixth form.
One of the maindifferences is that in the six:-
form you havefewer subjects,but hopefully
these are thingsthat you personallyare mor3
interestedin and havechosento study,You'
havemoretime to spendon eachof them,b;
you'llalso haveto work moreindependently.
This meansthat time management- is ever-,:'-;
clearwhat I meanby time management? - is
very important.Make a note of deadlinesanc
planyour work accordingly, Use liststo tick c=
assignments- homework,exercises,essayS3-'l
so on - whenyou finishthem,and remembe'
that it's betterto study and reviewon a regua'
basisthan to leaveit all to revisionjust befor-e
the exams.lt's easyto leavethingstillthe las:
minute.Rememberthat in the sixthform you'
also haveopportunities to do otheroptional
activities,get a part-timejob or learnto drive-
as well as havinga busy sociallife.The bette'
you organizeyour time,the morethingsyou' :*
a b l et o d o .
Effectiveresearchis a very importantskill.Nc",
what do I mean by effectiveresearch?Well.\i-a
l'm talkingabout is organizedstudy.lt's easy'
to waste a lot of time, and it's also easyto ge:
distractedwhen usingthe internet.Try not to
downloadpage after page- be selective.lt's a s:
impodantto rememberthat not everythingor :-
internetis true - pageslikeWikipediaare crea:3:
throughcollaboration, and no one checksthe
contents.Tryto read,thinkcriticallyand then
take notes.lf you do this,you'llbe expressing
your own ideasratherthan someoneelse's.
Note-takingis in itselfa very importantskill.
There'sno one correctway to do this - you
haveto find what suitsyou. Some peoplewrite
detailednotesusingfull sentences.Others
note key words or writethe most impodant
information usingbulletpoints.Morevisual
learnersmay preferto use mind maps. lt does- :
matter.The importantthing is that it works
for you and providesa summaryof the main
information whichyou can usefor revision.
