Hello, my name is Daniel. I am going to show you around my hometown. First, here is my house. It’s a small house. We have a garden. My mother grows vegetables and flowers in the garden. Outside the garden is a bus stop. It takes about ten minutes to get to the nearest town. There are lots of buildings there. There is a shopping center and a cinema. There is also a park near the center of the town. I like going into the town on my bike. The town is near the sea. I often go swimming in summer when it’s warm and sunny. There is not much pollution in the town because cars are not allowed to go into the center of the town.I have lots of friends here. I think it’s a wonderful place.I hope you’ll like it.
