Do you think so？Why or why not? 【答案】I agree that if youre tired of London，youre tired of life. Because London is not only a rich and modern city but also there are a lot of places of interest. In London，there is Buckingham Palace，London Tower Bridge，Great British Museum，Westminster Abbey，Big Ben，St. Pauls Cathedral and so on. Flower gardens and patches of grass land can be seen everywhere.
