Melissa: Hi, Lili!

Lili: Hi, Melissa!

Melissa: Ah, you look great!

Lili: You do, too.

You look very well rested.

How was your trip to London?

Did you have any free time between meetings?

Melissa: London was great.

We were very busy all week, but I had some
free time on Saturday and Sunday morning.

I flew back on Sunday evening.

Lili: Did you take any pictures?

Melissa: Better than that.

I have videos.

Lili: Excellent!

Melissa: I can't wait to show you.

You're going to love this.

Lili: I can't wait to see them.

Melissa: I did a lot on Saturday.

First, I went to the London Eye.

Here it is.

Lili: Did you go on it?

Melissa: Yes, I did.

The views were fantastic.

Then, I went on a boat on the River Thames.

Lili: What was the weather like?

Doesn't it rain a lot in England?

Melissa: The weather was OK.

It didn’t rain all the time
Lili: That’s good.

Melissa: The boat ride was really interesting.

I saw Tower Bridge and the Tower of London.

Lili: Did you go in the Tower of London?

Melissa: No, I didn't have time.

Then, I visited Buckingham Palace.

This is where the queen lives when she's in
London.

Lili: Was she there when you visited?

Melissa: No.

Her flag wasn’t on top of the palace.

That means she’s not there.

Lili: Oh, is that a guard?

Melissa: Uh-huh.

Lili: I like his hat.

Melissa: Yes, it looks heavy.

The guards are very intense.

Their attention is one hundred percent on
their duties.

They never move or speak.

They ignore all the tourists around them.

Lili: Did you take a tour?

Melissa: No, I didn’t.

I didn't have time.

Lili: That’s a shame.

Melissa: I know.

Lili: What did you do next?

Melissa: Then, I took a bus to St. Paul's
Cathedral.

Lili: Wow.

That looks amazing.

Melissa: Yeah.

They built it on the highest point in the
city.

So, that way, you can see the dome from almost
anywhere in London.

Lili: It’s really beautiful.

Melissa: Yeah.

So that’s everything I did on Saturday.

Lili: You did a lot.

Melissa: Yes.

Then, on Sunday, before I went to the airport,
I walked around.

I went to Westminster Bridge.

I walked across it.

I saw Big Ben and Parliament and Westminster
Abbey.

Lili: Did you go inside?

Melissa: No, I didn't have time.

I had to go back to the airport.

I only spent a day and a half in London, but
it was great.

I went on the London Eye.

I went on a boat ride on the River Thames.

I saw Tower Bridge and the Tower of London.

I visited Buckingham Palace and St. Paul’s
Cathedral.

I walked across Westminster Bridge, saw Big
Ben, and visited Westminster Abbey.

It was wonderful.

Oh, but what about you?

Did you have a good weekend?

What did you do?

Lili: Me?

I had a great time.

I cleaned my apartment.

I did laundry.

I went to the pharmacy.

I took a subway ride and saw my brother's
baseball game.

And I visited a lovely supermarket where I
bought groceries.

It was wonderful.

And I have video, too.
