Teacher Diana spoke very well, professional and meticulous, completely immersed, unknowingly for 3 hours, the teacher&#39;s knowledge is particularly wide, can be side-by-side to induce thinking, the vivid image of the language can cause strong empathy and thinking, this explanation is too worth it, I will recommend friends and colleagues who come to the British Museum to ask about the explanation of teacher Diana.

Did not get the chance to go in or close, as it was getting late and had some other places planned to visit. But it was a great achievement unlocked.

London Eye

Night view

M42***41

The city is beautifully overlooked from the London Eye. The Thames flows like a silver ribbon through it. Old buildings and modern skyscrapers are interspersed with unique charm. Under the clear sky, the scenery is more clear and charming, and it is refreshing. It is an unforgettable experience and it is a lingering experience.

Windsor Castle

The Queen&#39;s favorite palace is very luxurious, but it is not allowed to take pictures. It can only be taken outside. When entering, a photo was taken and was stopped by the staff. Knowing the life of the royal family, Windsor Castle is generally very quiet.
