Tom was big success in the star role in Guys and Dolls. "This is the right job for me," he thought. Then he moved to New York in July, 1980. But there weren't many jobs for new actors. But in 1981, Tom got the job. It was action movie and his role was young soldier. The movie's name was "Taps". "Taps" was a big success for Tom. In 1986, Tom starred in Top Gun.

Every year, more than nine million people come from countries all over the world to visit London. They go to Oxford Street, pubs, Tower of London and so on. When we visit the city, an underground train is very useful for us to go to different places in the city. But It is very crowded between 8 o'clock and 10 o'clock in the morning, or 4 o'clock and 6 o'clock in the evening. These are called 'rush' hours. So it is difficult for visiter to find the seats.
There are London buses in London. Some special visitor's buses take us to many interesting places in London.
London taxis are called "black cabs" because most of them are black.
Tower Bridge is near the Tower of London. It is one of the most famouse bridges in London.
Do you know Harrods? It is the most famouse shop in London. Then Oxford Street has many big shops. There are always lots of people looking at the shops here and at Christmas, thousands more people come to buy things for their friends and family. Then they see the wounderful Christmas lights.
