Му name is Tom Austin. I live in a small town of Durham in the north of England.

This story is about the day when I went to London with my dad for my 12^th birthday. I woke up at five o’clock in the morning. When I got downstairs and said goodbye to my mum, Dad and I got into the car and drove to the train station.

On the train, we were talking about what sights we wanted to see. When we arrived at St Pancras Station, we went in search of something to eat. We found a subway cafe and had lunch there. Then we set off walking around London. Some of the sights we saw were Nelson’s Column, Big Ben, the Tower of London and Westminster Abbey. But the main attrac­tion of the day was a flight on the London Eye. I was really looking forward to this and it didn’t disappoint me. At last, we got on the train home. On our way back, my dad and I were discussing what we had seen and done during the day. We both decided that we had really enjoyed our day.
