Last December my mother and I     1    (fly) to London. The first thing we did was to go on a bus sightseeing tour.

This is the best way to see all the sights and learn all about the history of a city. By the time the tour was over it was dark. The Christmas lights were very colorful. And     2     really impressed me was how so many people made     3    (they) way home through the heavy traffic on bicycles. I was looking forward to spending the next day in Oxford Street with all its     4    (amaze) shops. And what     5     experience that was! We bought a ticket for the underground and could go everywhere very quickly.

We spent all morning shopping and admiring the Christmas displays inside the shops and out in the streets. Then we went to a wax museum     6    (call) Madame Tussauds (杜莎夫人蜡像馆), which had a lot of wax     7    (figure) of famous people. My mother took a picture of me     8    (stand) between Prince Charles and Prince Harry. From there we took a taxi to Buckingham Palace, the home of the two princes, to watch The Changing of the Guard but     9    (fortunate) we couldn’t really see well as there were thousands of tourists waiting     10    (take) photos of the ceremony.
