## Exercise 1

Lees de volgende tekst, zoek de vetgedrukte woorden op in een woordenboek en schrijf de betekenis op in je schrift in je eigen woorden:

Your first day in London!

"Let’s start by getting the big ticket items done on the first day! Your friends at home will wonder what’s wrong with you if you go all the way to London and don’t see Big Ben, so let’s start there! Big Ben costs nothing to look at, so have a gawk, snap your photos, and have a look around you. Notice anything? Yep, you’re staring straight at one of the most important landmarks in the United Kingdom, the Houses of Parliament. You can tour the building, watch debates, or grab a snack.

Once you’re done admiring the architecture (and had a look at Westminster Abbey since you’re in the neighbourhood), nip around the corner to Horse Guards Parade, where hopefully you can catch the Changing of the Guards. It’s free and a great English tradition! Don't forget to have a look around the corner at Downing Street. If you see anyone famous coming out of a little black door with a Number 10 on it, lucky you! You’ve spotted the Prime Minister!

Next up: The Queen! Take a 15-20 minute walk down The Mall, and you’ve arrived at Buckingham Palace! If the flag’s up, she’s in residence. If it’s not, well, the building is pretty majestic on its own! Have a walk around, make funny faces at the guards if you must, and then hop on the Jubilee Line from Green Park and head to Waterloo Station.

Get ready to oohand ahh, we’re headed to the London Eye! Online prices for The Eye are a bit cheaper, so hopefully you’ve booked ahead. The trip around the wheel lasts for about thirty minutes, and you’re probably starving by now, so grab a quick bite at one of the vendors or restaurants that dot the South Bank and pat yourself on the back for a day well spent!

Rest up, you’ve got another big day ahead of you tomorrow!"
