I came to Cardiff to read drama at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama and after graduating in 1985 got married and (make) Cardiff my home.
One thing I love about Cardiff is its size. It's quite small (compare) with all the other major cities in the UK, means you can cycle from one end of the city to the other in about half an hour. The city (surround) by fascinating landscapes — within 30 minutes you could be in the heart of the Brecon Beacons and just over an hour to the west you could be lying on the beautiful beaches of the Gower Peninsula.
I work as tour guide at Cardiff Castle — the most important (build) in Cardiff. It began life as a Roman Fort about 2,000 years ago. Throughout history, the castle has been owned by several royals. Between 1766 and
1947 it was owned by the Marquesses of Bute. The second Marquess of Bute was responsible modern Cardiff. The third Marquess of Bute was known as the richest man in Europe and he set about (change) the exterior (外观) of Cardiff Castle. The result was (amaze). The castle was gifted to the
city by the fifth Marquess of Bute on September 10, 1947. Well over 350,000 (visitor) a year come to admire its greatness.
