Tips for visiting London with young children

Read first, then answer the questions. Select an underlined word to see its meaning and save it below.

Original fictional learning scenario. People, dialogue and personal experiences are created for language practice.

We spent two days in London with our children. On the first morning, we tried to see too many places. By lunchtime, everyone was tired. The next day we changed our plan. We chose one museum and a park nearby. We carried water and sandwiches, so we did not need to find a café immediately. The children liked watching boats as much as visiting famous buildings. My advice from our trip is simple: leave time for breaks. A short happy day is better than a long unhappy one.
