MY TOWN

I live in a small town. The population is 2,000. There are a lot of roads and interesting places to go. There aren’t any fields but there is a big park. The park is next to the Cathedral. The Cathedral is the biggest building in my town. There are lots of big buildings in my town. The sports centre is opposite the cinema. There are also three supermarkets and lots of cafés. There is a river with a new bridge.

There is a shopping centre in the newest building in the town. Friday is the busiest day in the centre. The quietest day is Sunday.

The Town Hall is the smallest and oldest building in my town.
