About five or six years ago I went to London for the first time. It was in the summer holidays and I went with my 1 .It was quite expensive by plane or train, so we 2 to travel by coach(长途汽车). We left at five in the morning and the 3 took about sixteen hours. We stayed in London for three days, in a youth hotel not far from the city centre. My friends and I 4 a big room on the top floor. The beds were not very comfortable and the bathroom was very small, 5 it had a wonderful view overlooking the River Thames.

While we were in London we went to a lot of places. On the first day, we went to see all the main sights(名胜), 6 Big Ben, Piccadilly Circus, and Buckingham Palace. On the second day, we went shopping on Oxford Street. On the7day, my friends and I went to Camden Market. You can buy all kinds of jewelry and clothes there. I bought a silver 8 for my sister. It was really sunny in the afternoon, so we went to watch a football game. Unluckily, I think the ring fell out of 9 pocket during the game, and I had to buy another one.

I really enjoyed visiting London, although the youth hotel was not 10 . Next time, I will stay at a wonderful hotel, but I guess I will never feel as excited as I did that first time.
