See an illustrative response

I live in a small neighbourhood near the city centre. There is a bakery next to our building, and there is a park opposite the school. I buy bread at the bakery on Saturdays. My friends and I play in the park after lessons. There are lots of trees there. I like my neighbourhood because the people are friendly and everything is close to home.
