I was in London last April and was lucky enough to witness the famous London Marathon. As far as I know, this is one of the biggest marathons in the world. Each year about 30,000 people start the race and about 25,000 finish. Some people take part in the marathon to raise money for charity, for example, children’s hospitals or needy people. I saw some runners wear funny and original costumes. It was averyun al race. And there was also a competition for people in wheelchairs.

I was in Britain in summer. Naturally, the first place we visited there was London. On the second day of our stay our guide took us to Noting Hill. Noting Hill is an area in west London and the place where the annual carnivals are held. People who take part dress up in fantastic costumes. Musicians play dance music and people dance. It’s like a carnival in Brazil, only not so big.

During one of my early visits to Britain I visited Chelsea Flower Show. Since that time I can’t forget it and still see it in my mind’s eye. This is Britain’s most important flower and garden show. You may know that British people love gardening and often take it up as a hobby. Some of them grow plants of breathtaking beauty and bring them to the show. The best flowers get prizes. It’s a great honour to get a prize at Chelsea Show. Thousands of people come to see prize flowers and specially built gardens.

English people are believed to be great animal lovers. Animals in Britain are usually treated with a lot of respect and care. As I also love animals and keep a dog as a pet, I decided to go to a dog show in London. I had heard about it before my visit to Britain. It’s an international event. Dog breeders from all over the world bring their valuable dogs to take part in Crufts. That s the name of the show. There are prizes for most breeds and one prize for the best dog, who is given the title Crufts Supreme Champion. It was an unforgettable experience for me.

I’d like to tell you about a very beautiful tradition called Trooping the Colour. I watched it when I was in London several years ago. It takes place on the second Saturday in June and celebrates the Queen’s official birthday. Her real birthday is in April but the weather in April is too changeable. So the ceremony is held in early summer. The Queen watches the parade of hundreds of soldiers dressed in colourful uniforms We heard some military music too. I brought home very good pictures and later showed them to my friends.

I was in Britain in December, before Christmas. I liked the tradition of showing pantomimes. Pantomimes are plays put on before Christmas for children, but grown-ups enjoy them as well. Pantomimes are always funny and colourful. They are based on popular fairy tales, such as Cinderella, The Red Riding Hood or Aladdin. There is usually a lot of singing and dancing in pantomimes. These features make pantomimes enjoyable. I can easily understand why so many people watch them.
