oral presentation, london

Slide 1:
Hi guys! Let’s get started. Good morning ladies and gentlemen.
We are Neus and Marina as you know.
In this oral presentation we are going to talk about London.
We have prepared a different kind of exposition.
Why? Because all people, who have gone in London, have had the opportunity to record their oral presentation there.
That’s why we have had this idea. First of all, we will show you TV news, and then, a London documentary.

Slide 2:
Good morning! We’re TV37’ and my name is Neus Pagès. We have a last-minute news item /àitem/ in London. Marina Julià is there and she will tell us what is happening.
Marina, are you here?

Slide 3:
(…)
Well, we have an error /èra/ connection.
Oh, do we have an error?
Marina?
(…)
Let’s try again
Neus?
Now! Marina, can you tell us the Harrods’ news?

Slide 4:
Harrods is a department store located on London. It was established in 1834 and as you know, you can find expensive and cheap products there. Nowadays, there is a strong crisis economic what impact on stores. We can see an example in Harrods.
Last year, one of the most expensive dress, that you can find in Harrods, cost 3.000 pounds. This year, it costs 1.500 pounds, it’s incredible but a lot of Harrods’ products go down their valor.
In the other hand, the cheap products also go down their cost in Harrods, but in the exchange with other countries, the Harrods companies lose profit (benefici) because the pound is more expensive than euro and dollar, and the foreign companies prefer to buy the cheap products make outside the United Kingdom.
Nothing more to say.

Slide 5:
Now, we’re going to tell you something about London:
London is the capital of the United Kingdom. It has a recorded history that goes back over 2,000 years. During this time, it has grown to become one of the most significant cultural capitals of the world. A lot of schools go there to visit it.
London is so big; London is formed by a city and 32 districts. Nowadays, the city keeps the tradition of before. There you can see the big red bus, the black taxis...
It’s so well-known, for that reason, it has a lot of museums like: Madame Tussauds, Nation Gallery...
London has a metro, of course. The metro in London is also known as “the tube”. How do you spell tube? It’s “T-u-b-e”
We have focus in 2 important cultural places. The first is Westminster Abbey and , the second is Buckingham Palace.

Slide 6:
In my case, I’m going to explain you an important Gothic church in Westminster. First I want to describe a little bit this fabulous construction. In the middle of the two towers you can see a triangular construction typical of gothic. The meaning in Catalan is “gablet”. Also typical of gothic are the pinnacles, you can see in top of the towers. Finally the big windows predominate in all of the balding and for that the light in.

Also we know that English and British monarchs have been crowned in the Abbey since the coronations in 1066.
Nowadays is an important architecture to visit in London.

Slide 7:
First of all, Big Ben is the nickname for the great bell (CAMPANA) of the clock that you can see in the tower of Wedminster. The Tower is gothic like Wedminster Abbey, It measures 96, 3 miters.
It was created by Charles Barry time ago. It celebrates its 150th birthday this year. Nowadays, it’s an important tourist attraction.
Moreover, the clock has become a symbol of the United Kingdom and London. Every year, it’s in the Big Ben where the English people celebrated the New Year Eve.

Slide 8:
The last point in our documental is that. I’m going to tell you some interesting things about Buckingham Palace. It is the official London residence of the British monarch, Elisabeth II! It’s located in the City of Westminster, known as "The Queen's House.
Moreover is the major tourist attraction. Its history started in 1703. It was built for the Duke of Buckingham!
What’s more? The palace contains 77,000 square metres of floorspace. The principal rooms of the palace are contained on the piano nobile. The piano nobile is the principal floor where contains the most important reception and bedrooms of the house.
