Dear ,
I live in … , a small town My family has a large house with four rooms and a small garden My sister and I share one bedroom From the bedroom window, I can see a beautiful park with green trees, flowers and a pond We not live far from my school so I usually walk there
In my neighborhood, there is a swimming pool and a beautiful park On the weekend, I often go swimming with my friends Early in the morning, I always jog with my sister around the park But the thing I like best in my neighborhood is the public library near my school There I not only can study and read books but also watch video and learn how to use the computer
Do you have a library like that in your neighborhood ? Is there anything interesting in the place where you live? Write to me I would like to say goodbye now.
