Big Ben is not the name of a man. It is the name of a huge clock in London. London is the capital of England. This clock has four faces, so no matter where you stand, you can read the time on the face of Big Ben. Each face is the size of a double-decker (双层公共汽车). The hands are about four metres long. It is about the size of two people standing on top of each other. If you go to London, you may want to visit the House of Parliament (国会大厦).That’s where you will find Big Ben sitting at the top of the clock tower (塔) of the Houses of Parliament. You will hear it as well as you see it. The giant(巨大的) clock makes such a loud noise (声音) that you can hear it from far away.“Ding dong, ding dong,”it goes every fifteen minutes.
