We love London – A2 English Reading Test

We love London

Louisa

I’ve lived in London nearly all my life. I love London, but I don’t like very crowded, noisy places. I enjoy spending time in the big parks. I love the city in April when they are full of flowers. I have a café in London which I opened two years ago. I travel to work by train. It takes one hour, but I spend the time reading. And I love reading!

Josh

My parents are both from villages, but I was born in London and I’ve never left. I love being around lots of noise and people. I work for a very successful business in the centre of London. I have a nice apartment – I can see London Bridge from my bedroom window. I’m lucky because I live close to work and it’s a pleasant walk from my apartment. I know lots of people hate their journey to work.

Anita

All my family live in London. I went to university in France, but then I came back. London can be very busy and noisy, but I don’t mind that. I like big cities. Last spring I went to Tokyo. It was great. My dream is to work there one day. In London, I have a long journey to work and the train is always late. It’s the worst part of my day – it’s awful! Trains are better in Japan.
