London has a population of over 7,000,00

问题：

     London has a population of over 7,000,000. From about the year 1800 until World War Two,

London was the biggest city in the world. But now there are many cities which are much

bigger than it.

     London is famous for many things. Tourists come from all over the world to visit its famous

buildings and hear the famous clock, Big Ben.

     Like many big cities, London has problems with traffic and pollution which stop the city from

developing. Over one million（百万） people a day use the London underground, but there

are still too many cars on the streets. The air isn’t clear, but it is anyhow cleaner than it was

100 years ago.

     For me, the best things about London are the parks. There are five in the city center. But

my children’s favorite place is Hamleys, the biggest toy shop in the world.
