Bath, 97 miles west of London, is the largest city in Somerset, England. It became a World Heritage Site in 1987.
The city got its name from the Roman Baths, which was a place for public bathing in Roman Britain. The water there is naturally heated under the ground. Today visitors are no longer allowed to enter the water. However, the exhibitions there will tell you the history of the Roman Baths. You can see many ancient Roman objects, including the coins that were thrown into the water to show respect to the goddess.
Looking over the city, you will see many old buildings in the color of honey. Among them, the Royal Crescent and the Circus are the most famous. The Royal Crescent is a row of 30 houses in the shape of crescent. The Circus is about 200 meters to the east of the Royal Crescent. It is a huge circle formed with large townhouses. It is divided into three parts of the same length by three entrances with a lawn in the center. When visiting Bath, you can't miss these two sites.
The museums in the city are also popular. You can go and appreciate western paintings. If you are interested in the English writer Jane Austen, you can go to Jane Austen Center to know more about her life with her father in Bath. If you come in October, you can even take part in the Bath Film Festival.
With its own style and fantastic sights, Bath attracts millions of tourists from all over the world.

When I was in primary school, I was too weak in French to pass the exam. I often got an “E” or F on my papers. My classmates often laughed at me in class. I often felt sad but could not do anything. But later, a French speech contest changed my life. And it also changed my views on everything.
It was a Wednesday afternoon. My father asked me to take part in a French speech contest. It was a terrible idea! My French grades were always bad.
“Don’t worry, my son. Believe in yourself and you’re sure to win the contest” With my father’s encouragement, I accepted his offer. After that my father and I chose a right topic. Then I practised hard at it. I spent a lot of my spare time practising it again and again in order not to miss a word. Finally, it turned out that my speech was successful. When my French teacher gave me a call and told me I got the first prize, I could hardly believe my ears. And my father was so excited that he couldn’t say a word.
Then everything has changed. When I do anything, I always believe in myself and try my best to do it well.
