​​Добрый день, дорогие друзья! Сегодня я подготовила задание для тех из вас, кто хочет понять, способен ли он воспринимать английский текст на уровне a2. Если вы все прочитали и встретили не более пяти незнакомых слов, то вы прошли испытание. 🔵Well done!

THE TOWER OF LONDON is a large castle in the center of London. It is very old and has a long history. The tower was built in 1066 by
WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR ['kɔŋk(ə)rə].

Over the years, it has been a royal palace, a prison, and even a zoo! It is now a museum and a very popular place for tourists in the United Kingdom.

One of the most interesting things about the Tower of London is the Crown Jewels [ˈʤuːəlz]. The Crown Jewels are very beautiful and valuable. They include crowns, sceptres [ˈsɛptərz], and other items used by kings and queens of England. People from all over the world come to see the Crown Jewels.

The Tower of London is also famous for its ravens. Legend says that if the ravens ever leave the tower, the kingdom will fall. That's why there are always at least six ravens at the tower. They are taken care of by the Ravenmaster.

Another important part of the Tower of London is the Yeoman ['jəumən] Warders, or Beefeaters ['biːfˌiːtə]. They are the guards of the tower and also give tours to visitors. They wear red and gold uniforms and know many stories about the tower's history.

In conclusion, the Tower of London is a place full of history and legends. It is a great place to learn about the history of England and see some amazing treasures. I hope you can visit it one day!

Итак, дорогие друзья, на этом всё на сегодня. Надеюсь, что материал был полезным и интересным. Учитесь с удовольствием!
