city and why you chose this option? (The Underground (fast, cheap, Bus (good

not forget the introduction, for example “Next month we are going to
London, I am so excited”
Example conversation:
Alex:
Next month we are going to London! I’m so excited!
Emma:
Me too! Where should we go first?
Alex:
Let’s visit Buckingham Palace. We can see the Changing of the Guard!
Emma:
That’s a good idea, but I also want to see the Tower of London. The Crown
Jewels are there!
Alex:
Okay! We can go to Buckingham Palace in the morning and the Tower of London
in the afternoon.
Emma:
Great! And maybe we can go to the London Eye in the evening?
Alex:
Yes! The view of the city will be amazing!
Emma:
How should we travel around the city?
Alex: Let’s take the Underground. It’s fast and cheap.
Emma:
That’s true, but the bus is better for sightseeing. We can see the city from
the top deck!
Alex:
Good idea! We can take the Underground in the morning to save time and the
bus in the afternoon to see more of London
Brexit
Brexit is a word that combines
"Britain" and "Exit." It means that the United Kingdom (UK)
decided to leave the European Union (EU).
The European Union is a group of 27
European countries that work together. EU members can trade goods(things that
people buy and sell) easily, travel without visas (A document allowing
someone to enter a foreign country), and follow shared rules. The UK was part
of the EU from 1973 to 2020.
In 2016, the UK had a referendum (a
national vote) to decide whether to stay in the EU or leave. The results were:
- 52% voted
to leave
- 48% voted
to stay
People who wanted to leave thought the UK
should make its own rules, control immigration, and stop paying money to the
EU. Others wanted to stay because trade, travel, and working in Europe would be
easier inside the EU.
The UK officially left the EU on January
31, 2020. Since Brexit, new rules for trade, travel, and immigration have been
put in place. Some businesses have found it harder to sell goods to Europe, and
UK citizens now need visas to work in EU countries.
Some people believe Brexit was a good
decision because the UK has more control over its own laws. Others think it was
a mistake because it has made travel and business more difficult.
