Hi Can,
How are you? I’m at the café behind our block of flats now. The café is next to the skyscraper. There is a park between the café and our
block of flats. You can see the park from our flat. There are a lot of buildings around here. Let me tell you about my neighbourhood, so
you can imagine my place. Our block of flats is next to the flower shop on Sun Street. There is a bank between the market and the library
on May Street. The market is opposite the car park. There is a fitness club at the corner of the park and King Street. Our school is near
here, so I can go to school on foot. My friend, Judy’s flat is behind our school. We can see each other very often. I can send a photo of my
neighbourhood, or you can visit me in London one day. Can you write to me about your surrounding, please? I am curious about them.
Email me soon.
Steve
