If ifs exercise you want, you can go walking or cycling through the forest. There are also adventure sports like windsurfing.

1 When?

The Eurovision Song Contest takes place in May every year. Before the final competition, people in each country choose the song they want to represent their country.

2

The idea of the contest is to promote pop music from all of the different countries and to give an opportunity to new singers and composers.

3

Dnly members of the European Broadcasting Union can take part in the competition. Singers don’t have to have the nationality of the countries they represent. For example, in 1963 the singer Nana Mouskouri represented Luxembourg, although she is Greek. Since 1986, singers must be over 16, after a 13-year-old from Belgium won the competition the year before.

4

In the first years of Eurovision only the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Malta could sing in English. Now there are no rules about languages, so groups can sing in their own language, or in English if they want to. Today almost all countries sing in English.

The competition is always in the country where the last year’s winner came from. The country with the most winners is Ireland, and many Eurovision singers have become very famous, for example Abba and Julio Iglesias.

1 Oxford Street is the best area — there are over 300 shops there. You can find more exclusive designer stores in Regent’s Street and Bond Street. Knightsbridge and Sloane Square are also good areas, and there are hundreds of little shops in Covent Garden market.

2The most famous, of course, is Harrods with its incredible food hall, but it is not the only one. Selfridges, in Oxford Street, sells a wide range of designer labels, and Liberty mixes the traditional with the modern.

3All shops open between 9.00 and 10.00 a.m. and they close at 6.00 p.m. It’s unusual for shops to close for lunch, and at least one night a week they stay open late, until 8.00 p.m. In Oxford Street, late night opening is on Thursdays.

4You can’t leave London without going to one of its many street markets. The best ones are in Covent Garden, Portobello Road, Camden, and Petticoat Lane. You don’t have to buy anything here, because it’s fun just to look at the variety of things for sale.

A Where are the main shopping areas in London? B Are there any street markets?
