London is great .It's great .Rome and Paris were fine places ,but I knew as soon as we landed in London ,this was the finest of the three.

There are only two small things which I don't like about London . First of all, everyone speaks English here. I had so much fun in Rome and Paris . There I could speak in foreign languages. In words ,I made a lot of friends that way .But here everybody can understand me. I don't have any reason to start up a conversation with a stranger . And speaking of restaurants that is the other problem with London . The food here is no good at all! I haven't had one good meal in the three days we've been here.

Since you asked me to write to you about everything I learned on this trip ,here is what I've learned about London.

London's population of eleven million makes it the second largest city in the world .It is bigger than New York but not as big as Tokyo .London is twice the size of New York .It has an area of 620 square miles!

The Thames River runs right through the center of the city .Someone once called the Thames ¡°liquid history¡±.It is a very good name. Dozens of armies have crossed it over the past few thousand years .One of the first was the army of Julius Caesar two thousand years ago .And most recentlyMr .and Mrs. Gill.

So far I have only had time to visit one neighborhood .It is called Bloomsbury .In fact there is a group of writers known as the Bloomsbury Group. It got its name because so many of them lived there. Virginia Woolf was one of them .I know how much you like her novels.

Baker Street is also part of Bloomsbury .Do you remember who once lived on Baker Street When I asked Bob this question, he answered,¡°a man who baked bread ,right ¡± Sherlock Holmes ,of course ,I won't have time to find his address .Maybe you will when you come.

When US musician Bob Dylan was announced as the winner of this year¡¯s Nobel Prize for literature last month, many people took to social media to suggest that Leonard Cohen was the only other living songwriter who deserved(ÖµµÃ)the honor.

Sadly, on Nov 7, the deep-voiced Canadian artist died at the age of 82.

Many tributes(³ÆÔÞ)were written for Cohen, who had just released his 14th album, You Want It Darker, on Oct 21st. ¡°Leonard Cohen is as important today as he was in the 1960s,¡± Canada¡¯s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on in a statement. ¡° His ability to describe human emotion made him one of the most influential and lasting musicians ever.¡±

Cohen¡¯s most famous song, Hallenlujah, in which he compared physical love to a need for spiritual connection, has been recorded hundreds of times by different musician since it was first released in 1984.

And Cohen¡¯s song Bird on a Wire(1969) could be considered a perfect epitaph(Ĺ־Ãú)that he wrote for himself. As the song¡¯s first line goes, ¡°Like a bird on a wire, like a drunk in midnight choir(ºÏ³ªÍÅ), I have tired in my way to be free.¡±

¡°Cohen writes words that explain what it means to be human. I¡¯ve read poetry that has as much beauty as Cohen¡¯s work, but in the world of music, Cohen is a rarity,¡± US singer Jennifer Warnes told Austin American-Statesman newspaper. ¡®He describes things that go on inside a heart and what it feels like to be here.¡±

Along with his spirituality, Cohen¡¯s dry, deep voice also helped his popularity. In 2006 he spoke with the NPR radio station about how he got his interesting voice¡ªapparently it was ¡°500 tons of whiskey and a million cigarettes.¡±

But he never forgot to work on the instruments that made up his songs, even though he was most famous for his lyrics (¸è´Ê)and voice.

¡°There is no difference between a poem and a song,¡± Cohen said in 1969 interview with the New York Times newspaper. ¡°Some were songs first and some were poems first and some were written at the same time. All of my writing has guitars behind it, even the novels.¡±

¡°When people talk about Cohen, they fail to mention the melodies(ÐýÂÉ), which to me, along with his lyrics, are his greatest genius,¡± Bob Dylan told the New York magazine.¡± They give a lift to every one of his songs. As far a I know, no one comes close to this in modern music.¡±
