90、 weeks in London last year. We went there in autumn. We thought it was the best season to visit England. The weather was usually quite good and there were not too many tourists in October. We stayed in a small hotel in the West End. We did most of our sightseeing on foot. We went shopping and spent

91、a lot of money. What we liked most was going to the theater. We dont have a lot of chances to see such wonderful plays at home. A lot of people said English food was very bad, but we didnt think so. It was true that most of the restaurants were French, Italian or Chinese, but we had some very good meals. In fact, we enjoyed our holiday so much that we have already decided to go there again next year. We are going to take our umbrellas, though. Im sure we will need them sooner or later.
