Cambridge, London and England By Tony SmithI come from Cambridge, a beautiful city in the east of England. It is on the River Cam and has a population of about 120,000. My home town is especially famous for its university. Many famous people studied here, such as Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin. There are lots of old buildings and churches to visit. Students and tourists enjoy trips along the river by boat.Cambridge is 80 kilometres from London. London is in the south of England and it is on the River Thames. It has a population of about seven and a half million, so it is bigger and busier than Cambridge. It is about 2,000 years old and it is famous for Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and Tower Bridge.England itself is part of an island, and you are always near the sea. The small villages and beaches on the coast are popular for holidays. Tourists like the areas of low mountains and beautiful lakes in the north, and the hills and pretty villages in the south. Everywhere in England you will notice how green the countryside is .It is never very hot in summer or very cold in winter. So come and see England any time of the year, but bring an umbrella with you. You will need it most days.剑桥、伦敦和英格兰托尼 史密斯 我来自剑桥， 一个位于英格兰东部的美丽城市。它位于康河河畔，有大约120，000人。我的家乡尤其因它的大学而闻名。许多名人曾经在这里学习过，比如艾萨克 牛顿和查尔斯 达尔文。 有许多古老建筑和教堂可以参观。 学生和游客喜欢乘船沿河旅行。剑桥距离伦敦有80公里。伦敦在英格兰南部、泰晤士河畔。它有大约七百五十万人， 所以它比剑桥更大、更繁华。它有大约两千年的历史， 因大本钟，白金汉宫和塔桥而闻名。英格兰本身是一个岛的一部分，而且在这里你总是离海很近。沿海的小村庄和沙滩在假期很受欢迎。游客们喜欢的低矮的群山和美丽湖泊，以及南部的山丘和漂亮的村落。在英格兰的每个地方你都会发现，农村地区的植被是那样的繁茂。夏天从来不很热，冬天也从不很冷。所以在一年的任何时间来英格兰游览都可以，但是要随身带一把雨伞。大多数日子你都会需要它的。
