My home town: past and present

What is London famous for?

Have you ever been? If so, what did you like about it? If not, what would you like to see and do there?

How do you think it has changed from 1927 to the present?

The following video shows how London has stayed the same and how it has changed from past to present.  

Write down the things that are now different and compare your notes with your classmates.


 

Now think about your own home town:

  • How has it changed from 1927 to the present day?
  • What has changed for the better?
  • What has changed for the worse?
  • What would you change about it to make it a better place to live in? 

Find some pictures or footage of your home town in the past and make a short presentation comparing past and present.
