World Book Day falls on April 23 every year. It was set up by UNESCO(聯(lián)合國教科文組織) in 1955 to encourage people, especially teenagers, to find the pleasure of reading.

Many countries celebrate World Book Day. Take the UK as an example. On that day, millions of school children can buy books of special price, much lower than usual in any bookshop. It has been done every year since 1998.

We all know that it is difficult to learn everything in the classroom, for example, the ways English people are speaking and writing. Reading helps us. "Reading makes a full man." Books, magazines, newspapers and other kinds of reading materials can help to know more about the outside world and perfect us.

Therefore, it is necessary for us to form the habit of reading every day.

What does traveling mean? Visit, enjoy and discover.

Every year hundreds and thousands of people come to the UK. And London, the capital city, is usually their first stop. What can they see? What can they experience!

Getting around in London is not difficult. There is the underground train, the oldest in the world, or the traditional double-decker bus. A boat trip along the River Thames takes you to the Tower of London.

Going around the city center on foot is easy. The maps in the streets will show you what is around you in five-minute walk. You can get a great view of the city from 135 meters up on a huge wheel, the London Eye. Look across the river and you will see the Houses of Parliament and the famous clock tower, Big Ben.

There are over 240 museums in the capital, but the two most popular are in South Kensington and cost nothing to get into. In the Natural History Museum, the key word is Big. Next to it is the Science Museum. It has those great British inventions, the history of flight and exploration (探索) of space.
