My neighborhood

Read first, then answer the questions. Select an underlined word to see its meaning and save it below.

Original fictional learning scenario. People, dialogue and personal experiences are created for language practice.

My street is small and quiet. There is a bakery opposite my building and a park behind it. The park has no café, so I buy a drink at the bakery before my walk. My neighbour, Mr Lee, has a little dog. We often meet by the park gate at seven in the morning. A new supermarket is opening next month. It is near the station, not on our street. I am happy because the old supermarket is a long bus ride away.
