In 2000 a temporary ferris wheel was constructed in London and it was going to be dismantled in 2005. But tourists and the Londoners liked it so much and it fit right in the city environment that it was decided to keep it permanently. For those 5 years the wheel had become one of the main sights of the city and over 4 million visitors come see it every year. London eye was called the Millennium wheel at first because it was open in 2000.I understand why tourists like it so much, this wheel is one of the highest in the world and the view of the whole city of London from so high is remarkable, in addition you can see all the main sights from there. It took them 6 years to build it and several architects and designers were working on it at the same time. The wheel is 135 meters high and it take approximately 30 minutes to complete one ride. There are 32 booths each of them is 10 tonnes. The booths are locked from outside and cannot be open from inside. Up to 25 people can fit in one booth.London eye can be seen from different parts of the city. At night time it’s illuminated. Tourists love taking photos of it because they come out so pretty. The attraction is very popular and there is always a queue of people willing to ride it.

Dear Sue, Thank you for your letter. I was glad to get it. Sorry for not writing for so long, I was busy with my school. I want to tell you about my weekend. I had a great day on Sunday. I woke up at 10 o’clock and the sky was blue. I met George and Mike at 11 and we left for the cinema. The film was wonderful. In the afternoon we went for a walk in the park. We found very good sports ground there, so we did a lot of exercises and took pictures. It was cool! I’m going to visit an art gallery next Sunday. I think it’s going to be a very interesting walk. I hope I’ll know a lot of new things. That’s all for now. Hope to hear from you soon. Best wishes, Kate
