Sightseeing in Leicester

Haymarket Memorial Clock Tower
The Haymarket Memorial Clock Tower is a major sign in Leicester City Centre. It is in the middle of the city centre. It was constructed in 1868. It is in order to commemorate four people: Simon de Montfort, William Wyggeston, Thoms White and Gabriel Newton. There are four statues at each corner. Every weekend, some people act in front of the Clock Tower.

New Walk
New Walk is about 1100 metres. It is known as Queen’s Walk. It is from city centre to university. The road is made of cobblestons. Many different kinds of trees and flowers on the both sides of the road. If you walk on this road in spring, all the flowers are bloom. You can see many beautiful flowers around you. When you walk on this road in autumn, all the fallen leaves are on the road. Everything is golden, you can feel relax.

Castle Gardens
Castle Gardens are situated in the west of city centre. It is beside the Grand Union Canal. Castle Gardens include Castle Hall, John of Gaunts Cellar, and The Church of St Mary de Castro. The building was originally the Great Hall of Leicester Castle, which was erected in the 11th or 12th century. Some people said: "this is the one of the finest Norman Halls in England...” The timber roof is possibly 14th century. The Professor Horn said it was the earliest residential timber roof of Europe.

The day after tomorrow is one of my favourite films. I saw this film with my parents in the cinema five years ago. I think it is a very good film.
The day after tomorrow is directed by Roland Emmerich. Dennis QuaidJake, Gyllenhaal, Emmy Rossum starred this film. It is a disaster film. This film is said that Sam whose father is an environmentalist travelled to New York City for an academic competition. Because of the greenhouse effect, many counties have been unimaginable a natural phenomenon such as Hail, tornadoes and sea level rise. The rapid rise in sea water quickly flooded the New York City. Sam and his friend had to stay in the New York Public Library. It is colder and colder outside. Eiffel Tower, and the Statue of Liberty became into the icicle. They had to burn the books to keep warm. At that time, Sam’s father and his colleagues are going to New York City to look for them. On the way that looking for Sam, one of the colleagues in order to save others at the expense of its own. At last, they rescue Sam and his friends. And the weather became better than before, the sun came out again. There were many people survived in this disaster. It has a happy ending.
After I saw this film, I think protecting the environment is very important. It is more important than economic development. We can’t as the Vice President of the film, only focus on the economic development. The better environment is, the better economy is. If we only focus on the economy, then the cost of rapid economic development will be this film that emerged. Although the movie will not happen to us, but we should think about our generations.
This film has many thrills, the special effects are superb. When you see this film, you will feel that you are as a character in the film. The photography of the film is very good. In the film, we saw the tornado and frozen as same as the truth. And the story is very good, too. I think it is terrific.
The revenue of this film is $542,771,772; it is a very large number. So many people like to see this film, I think you will like it, too.

BIRMINGHAM

This Saturday, I went Birmingham with my friends.
At 9 o’clock, we got on the train to Birmingham New Street. After about one hour, we arrived at Birmingham. Firstly, we went to a big store. But I didn’t buy anything. Then we went to Chinatown to eat hotpot. In the afternoon, I bought a watch.
I felt very happy at Saturday, but the only bad thing is that it was rainy.

GOSSIP GIRL

I see American television series such as Prison Break, Sexy and the city, Supernatural and some other series. Now I would like to recommend a TV series, Gossip girl.
Gossip Girl is inspired by the popular novel series of the same name. The story happens New York City’s Upper East Side where lives a lot of the rich. The drama occurred in speaking of the students which in an aristocratic school and family matters. The drama includes sex, drugs, jealousy, and other teenage issues. Now it has two seasons. I think you will like it.
