When you are tired of buildings, you can visit one of London's beautiful parks.
Hyde Park first opened to the people of London in the seventeenth century. It is not far from the shops of busy Oxford Street, but it is nice and quiet. In the center is the lake called the Serpentine, and you can take a boat out on the water.
There are usually a lot of people at Speakers' Corner. Some people come here because they want to tell the world important or interesting things—about the government, science, or "the end of the world". They stand at the Corner, and call out to all the people around them. Other people stand and listen, and sometimes laugh too.
Kensington Gardens is next to Hyde Park. Here you can see a statue(雕像)of Peter Pan, the famous boy in the book Peter Pan written by J. M. Barrie. There is also a playground here, called the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Playground. And the playground has lots of exciting things for children.
Regent's Park is the home of London Zoo. The zoo opened in 1828, and it has animals from all over the world. There is also a theatre in the park. On a summer's evening, you can sit out and watch a play created by Shakespeare. Or you can see the park from the water—take a boat along the canal(运河)from Camden Lock to Little Venice. In the summer, you can listen to music in the park.
St James's Park is next to the Mall. It is a small park, but very beautiful, and it is the oldest of the royal(皇家)parks. Lots of birds live on and around the lake in the centre of the park.
Now apps play an important role in our lives. Here are some popular apps.

When you are under pressure(压力), this app may be useful. You can use it to make music by yourself and share what you make with others. It gives you a great sense of satisfaction. | |
