Model answer for Ex.W-3
Here is a corrected version of the paragraph. Note that there is often
more than one transition that can be used. In most cases, there are other
possibilities as well.
London must be one of the greatest cities in the world. Anyone who enjoys travel should [,therefore,/definitely] visit it at least once. [First of all/ First], London is an old city, and many interesting buildings remain standing to this very day. They are also well preserved and attractive to visitors. [For example / For instance], Westminster Abbey was built several hundred years ago and contains the graves of many famous Britons. The Tower of London, St. Paulfs Cathedral, the Palace of Westminster, where Parliament meets, and Buckingham Palace are [also] famous London landmarks. [Secondly/ Second/ Further/ In addition], Londonfs beauty always makes an impression on first-time visitors. The River Thames runs through it, and there are many parks. [In particular], Hyde Park and Regentfs Park are so huge that people walking in them tend to forget that they are in the middle of a large city. [Next/ Third], Londonfs museums and art galleries include some of the best in the world. It is quite easy to spend a full day at the British Museum. 8 [In addition/ Moreover], there are important art collections at places such as the National Gallery and the Tate. 9 [Fourthly/ As well as all these features], the city offers numerous entertainment possibilities, 10 [such as/ including] theaters, concerts and movies. 11 [As a matter of fact/ In fact], its theater companies surpass those of any other city in the English-speaking world. Some people complain that London is very expensive. 12[However/ Yet], there are many reasonably priced B&Bs, small hotels offering a bed(room) and breakfast but few other facilities, 13 [so] one need not spend a fortune on accommodation. 14 [In fact], food and other expenses do not have to be high, if the visitor is willing to eat and travel in the same way as the average Londoner. As a result, it does not have to be a very expensive city to visit. 15 [In conclusion/In short], London is a very rewarding place to visit, not just once, but many times.
