Hello!

My name is Lucy and i am 19 years old. I am an exchange student a year from Norway. I took the British class test and i became an Emergent service worker. This class group is financially insecure, scoring low for savings and house value, but high for social and cultural factors. According to the Great British Class Survey results, lots of people in this group are young, enjoy a culture social life and rent their home – almost 90 present. I live at the school.

I am going to write little bit about me, so you can get know me better. I am kind, sweet, nice and shy girl. My favorite food is sushi and Indian food. At home I am doing athletics and i like to do it. I am not allergic to nothing.

Today I had a good time. I got new friends and we visited the Buckingham Palace. The weather was fine and it was sun the whole day. We didn’t get in, so we just were outside of the building. Since it was nice weather today, it was fine to be outside to look at the palace. Buckingham palace is very nice building. If you never been in London, then you have to see it. Since I never been in London before, my friends learned me about Buckingham palace. They told me the history of the Palace and how it looks like on the inside. Buckingham Palace has 775 rooms. The building is 108 meters long across the front, 120 meters deep and 24 meters high. The palace is decorated with priceless works of art that is part of the Royal Collections. The royal Residences have functioned as the official London residence since 1837. Today it is  the headquarter of the Monarch and it is used for many official events held by the Queen. They have more than 50 000 people visiting the Palace every year as guests. They come to lunches, dinners, and banquets and to the Royal Garden Parties. The State Room in the Palace is open for guided tours for visitors every year when the Queen stays in Scotland. Still the palace is not a museum or a gallery.

The palace is most famous for the ceremony “Changing the guards” that has been a tradition since 1660 when Charles II ruled. The change takes place in front of the castle and is precisely choreographed. It takes about 45 minutes. We were lucky to see the “Changing the guards” when we looked around outside the palace. It was precisely choreographed just as my new friends told me.
