  16. WEB READING Dear student, I would like you to give me a hand with planning the summer holidays. I’d like to travel for 10 days to London. I’d prefer to live not far from the city centre. It would be ok to have a B&B, but I need to know if there are good cafes or restaurants nearby, what food they specialize in and what’s the average price for dinner. Could you also find out what places it is recommended to visit there and if they are free (otherwise, what the fee is). I’m not quite sure yet if I am going to rent a car of ride public transport, so I would appreciate it if you sent me the information about the prices for both. I am planning to spend less than 700£ on my staying there. Feel free to use the Internet, and send me your recommendations ASAP. Don’t forget to include the links into your work. Thanks in advance, Your teacher
