motorway between London and Leeds. Road signs are mostly the same as those used
on the continent. The same goes for traffic lights.

It is well worth taking/following his advice. 3. It isn't well worth spending your time
on things you are not interested in. 4. It is well worth visiting the
Science Museum in
London. 5. Just as Westminster often stands for

City is its financial centre. 6. Just as the Humanities/the
Arts stand for history,
literature

Sciences stand for physics, chemistry, botany,
etc.
