My district
My name is Helen, I live in Moscow. I want to tell you a few words about my district. It is very nice and full of trees. I live near the underground station. There are many blocks of flats there. The traffic is very busy. There are a lot of cars. Next to my house there is a supermarket and two shopping centres. When we want to go shopping, we usually visit them. There is a park not far from here. I like to walk there with my friends. There is a bank and a post office next to my school. In front of the chemist’s there is a hospital. On the opposite side of the street there is a café and a bus stop. There is a disco club and a cinema on the left of the bus stop. At the weekend I usually go to the swimming pool by bus. In my district there is also a medical college. I am going to enter it when I finish school. I like my district.
