My town.
My name is Nick. I live in a small town. Our town is not very big. Not all the streets of our town are long and wide, but they are green in summer with a lot of trees and flowers. On Saturdays and Sundays there are a lot of people and cars in the streets. The people of our town do their shopping. We can see a lot of people in the parks in our town. In spring and summer there are a lot of grannies and little children in our children's park. Grannies usually sit or walk, and their little grandchildren like to play balls, ride small cars, run and jump. This park is the best place for our children. In summer when it is hot the people of our town like to go to the river. It is not very long and wide, but it's warm and clean. There is a bridge across the river. Next to the river there is a large field. In summer it is yellow and very beautiful. Some houses in our town are big and tall, but there are small houses too, and they have got small gardens with apple trees and flowers. There are four schools in our town. My friend and I go to school number four. We are good friends and good pupils. In winter we like to skate in the park and ski in the field not far from the forest. We like our school and our town.
