课文内容 词汇: tourism 旅游
Britain is on the go-to list for tourists worldwide but, with the value of the pound reaching historic lows after the Brexit vote, a visit has became more timely.
The summer is a great time to be in Britain. The British Museum, the Natural History Museum, the Tate Gallery are all a must-see for everybody who comes to the country, but there's also a lot of interesting things to do for those who love the outdoors.
The Notting Hill Carnival changes the face of the famous London borough in the last weekend of August. It's the largest street festival in Europe. First held in 1964, it's a celebration of Caribbean culture but now includes Brazilians, Africans, Europeans and anybody else who likes to dress colourfully and feels the urge to dance to the sound of a beat.
With its popularity growing it's estimated that 50,000 performers will take part in the parade, attracting more than 1 million people over the weekend.
Outside the capital there's also plenty to do. Early in August there's the Robin Hood Festival in Sherwood Forest Country Park, Nottinghamshire. The legendary characters of books and movies – Robin Hood and the evil Sheriff of Nottingham - can be found there amid jousting tournaments and comedy acts. For those into nature, there's always the forest to enjoy.
