- What are your plans for today?

- Nothing special. Why?

- I want you to show me round. You have been living in London for almost ten years so you know better what is worth seeing.

- All right. I'll show you some of the sights.

- It will be very kind of you.

- What would you advise me to see?

- It depends on your tastes and interests. What are you keen on?

- History and culture.

- Then I'd recommend you to start with the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square. It has a fine collection of European paintings. The Tate Gallery in Westminster also has a collection of paintings. Agreed?

- Sure.

- The National Portrait Gallery and Madame Tussaud's Museum are also worth seeing.

- I'd love to.

- And as you are interested in history, I'll show you the Tower of London. It is associated with many important events in the British history. It has been a fortress, a palace, a prison, a mint.

- Оh, yes, I know. The Tower of London is famous for its prisoners, like Sir Thomas More and Guy Fawkes.

- The White Tower was built by William the Conqueror to protect the city.

- I'm looking forward to visiting all these places.
