Text: Hi Friends! My name’s Sandra and I live in Hilltown. It is a small town in the south of
England.
There are many shops in Hilltown and there are three supermarkets. You can buy everything
in the town that you need. There are two banks and a post office in Main Street. There is a police
station and a library, too .You can find a big market where you can buy fresh fruit, vegetables, meat
and dairy products. I like going to the market with my mum. There is a park, too. In the park,
children can play because there is a playground. In our town you can find some restaurants and there
are five cafés. My favourite café is in Park Street and the ice cream is fantastic there!
My school is in Mill Street. We have got a very nice building. Next to our school , there is a sports
centre. Every Wednesday afternoon, we play badminton.
If you want to see a film, you can go to the cinema in our town, but unfortunately there aren’t any
theatres here.
I like living in Hilltown because it is a calm, neat place and people are friendly.
