Souvenirs from
Britain
What do visitors to Britain take home as a souvenir? We visited twenty souvenir'shops in London, and this is what we found...
Tea and biscuits
The British love their tea, and tourists seem to love it too. You can buy it in tins and boxes, and in many different varieties. And why not buy a 2
or a mug with a picture of the Houses of Parliament at the same time? And to have with your tea - what
about some 3 |
|
|
from Scotland, or some |
|||
traditional sweets and chocolate? |
|
|||||
Postcards and pictures |
|
|||||
Postcards and pictures of famous sights are very |
|
|||||
4 |
|
|
souvenirs. Big Ben? The Tower of |
|
||
London? Piccadilly Circus? You can 5 |
|
all |
||||
these, and a lot of other places too! Tourists also buy paintings and photos of the beautiful British countryside, especially the Scottish Highlands.
The royal family
The royal family have their problems, but tourists still
6 them. Souvenir shops are full of royal mugs, tea towels, postcards, teddy bears, T-shirts, and teapots.
bUnderline five words or phrases you don't know. Use your dictionary to look up their meaning and pronunciation.
If you want breakfast in bed, sleep in the kitchen.
