Tell where he and others are from and give a basic description of his city.
London
London is a famous and historic city. It is the capital of England in the United Kingdom.
The city is quite popular for international tourism because London is home to one of the
oldest-standing monarchies in the western hemisphere. Rita and Joanne recently traveled
to London. They were very excited for their trip because this was their first journey
overseas from the United States.

Among the popular sights that Rita and Joanne visited are Big Ben, Buckingham Palace,
and the London Eye. Big Ben is one of London’s most famous monuments. It is a large
clock tower located at the northern end of Westminster Palace. The clock tower is 96
meters tall. Unfortunately, Rita and Joanne were only able to view the tower from the
outside. The women learned that the tower’s interior is undergoing renovations until
2021.

Fortunately, the London Eye, the city’s famous Ferris wheel, was open to the public. The
London Eye is situated along the southern shores of the Thames River. This attraction
stands 135 meters high. It is one of London’s most well-known spots for gaining aerial
views of the city. Each capsule of the Ferris wheel can hold up to 25 passengers. When
their capsule stopped at the top of the Ferris wheel, the women took spectacular
panoramic photographs of the beautiful cityscape below.

The last place that Rita and Joanne visited was Buckingham Palace, the home of the
Queen of England. The women were impressed by the palace’s incredible architecture
and historical value. Both Rita and Joanne enjoyed watching the Queen’s guards outside
the palace. These guards wore red tunic uniforms, shiny black boots, and bearskin hats.
Despite the women’s attempts to catch the attention of the guards, the guards are
specifically trained to avoid distractions. Because of this, the guards ignored the women
completely.

Joanne and Rita had an amazing time visiting the city of London, and they are inspired to
seek more international travel destinations in the future.

Talk simply about family and colleagues, describing their appearance and personalities.
