Edinburgh

Edinburgh is a beautiful historic city which is situated on the river Forth on the east coast of Scotland. Although it’s the capital city, it isn’t very big: it has only about half a million inhabitants.

I really love the old town which goes from the Castle to Hollyrood Palace. There are lots of amazing old buildings there. But my favourite place is the Royal Park. It’s a huge park with an ancient volcano called Arthur’s Seat. From the top there is an incredible view of the river and the surrounding countryside.

The only thing I don’t like is the weather. It’s always windy here even when it’s sunny. There are some really nice beaches nearby but it’s too cold to go swimming.

You can’t get bored in Edinburgh. There are lots of things to do, especially in August. That’s when the international arts festival takes place. There are some very interesting museums and galleries, and you can also go on some great historical tours about ghosts and so on. Another thing I like about Edinburgh is it’s great for shopping. It’s got all the major chain stores and some interesting little shops.

Edinburgh is my favourite city. There are lots of things to see and do and it’s not too big, so you can get to most places on foot.

3. Work in pairs. Look at the graph on page 119. Use the language in Speak Out to talk about the statistics.
