1 . Food festivals are a common occurrence in the UK and take place in all sorts of places and at all sorts of times. Whatever your taste, there’s a food festival to match — no matter how specialized.

1. Meatopia

This three-day, London-based festival takes place at the end of August and is a meat lover’s paradise. In addition to a range of legally sourced meat products, from juicy burgers to tender steaks, attendees can listen to live music, watch butchery demonstrations, and attend informal meat-based workshops.

2. The National Honey Show

If you have a sweet tooth, then it could be that the National Honey Show, which started in 1921 and is the largest event of its kind, is the place for you to be. This three-day event attracts many local entries who showcase their sweet golden honey, some of which is sold globally.

3. The Orange Sauce Festival

Have you heard about a festival that is devoted only to orange sauce? Held in Cumbria, this sweet, fragrant festival has been running for 3 years. What attracts people most is a competition to find the best homemade orange sauce. There are thousands of participants from over 30 different countries across the globe, bringing their local snacks to share here.

4. The Ginger and Spice Festival

If you’d prefer something with a little more kick to it, then you could attend The Ginger (姜) and Spice Festival held in Market Drayton.

My uncle and his family are living in Florida, America. Last summer, my mother and I flew see them from China. During the time, my uncle took us to many places. We visit the zoo at Dreher Park. There, we saw the number of animals. I real enjoyed the monkeys that made face at us. We went to the Florida Science Museum where there’re many interested collections. We even enjoyed windsurfing at West Palm Beach, which it was extremely amazing! To my delighted, I made a new friend who is a high school student like me and live next door to my uncle. Now they often send emails to each other to exchange our learning methods.

8 . London, with countless famous sites and all manner of food, drink, shopping, history, and culture, is definitely a wonderful city to visit.

Time Zone

Greenwich Mean Time during the winter, British Summer Time during the rest of the year(starting at Daylight Saving Time).

Best Time to Go

The best time to visit London overall is in spring, when the temperatures have warmed up, the sun has started to shine and London’s gardens and parks are looking their best. However, the reality is that the best time to travel to London depends a lot on what you’re looking for. If you’re all about taking a look inside Queen Liz’s palace, you’d better make it in summer, while winter is beautiful and festive for those looking to get their fill of Christmas markets and traditional cheer.

Things to Know

Londoners, and English people in general, have a much different manner of interacting with one another than Americans do--while an American might think nothing of smiling at a stranger they pass on the sidewalk or asking about work in the first few minutes of a conversation, Londoners might consider it impolite or strange. Don’t mistake this for unfriendliness； it’s just a cultural difference. Instead, talk about things like movies, TV shows, books, your travels, and the like, instead of work or family.

How to Get Around

Getting around London is unbelievably easy thanks to the well-maintained and extensive Underground. The Underground, unlike American transportation systems which often pay per ride or pay per length of trip, is paid in zones. Fare also varies based on time of day and the method you use to pay. It’s worth getting an Oyster card to make your life that much simpler.

9 . Many campers (露营者) love to plan their trips during autumn season. There are plenty of fun activities you can enjoy during your camping trip.     1    , autumn season offers lots of activities that make your outdoor adventure more fun! Here are some fall camping tips to make your trip more memorable.

Schedule for the cool weather. Even though summer just ended, you should be prepared for cool weather. Autumn weather is very unpredictable.     2    . You wouldn’t want your trip to be ruined because you keep waking up in the early morning because of cold weather.

    3    . An important thing to keep in mind is that the days are shorter during cool seasons. More importantly, food takes longer to cook when the weather is cold, so schedule your cooking times to make sure that you enjoy your meal times. Be sure you cook dinner and clean up before the sun goes down.

Be careful with bears. Any camper knows that it is quite important to protect themselves from bears and other wildlife. But we must be extra careful during fall season.     4    .

Go apple or pumpkin picking. There are lots of apple trees in the country where you camp.    5    , consider apple picking during the day. To get even more fun out of autumn, you can choose to go pumpkin picking. You can also bring your own pumpkins to carve around the campfire! The kids will love it.

A．Schedule your cooking times

B．Prepare your meal and enjoy it as soon as possible

C．If you’re lucky enough to have one near your campsite

D．Whether you are camping by yourself, or with your friends

E．Most animals wake up in spring and go hungry at this time of the year

F．It can be hot till the earlier afternoon, but cold once the sun goes down

G．That is because wildlife gets active around looking for food as winter nears
