My name is Anna, and I've lived here for five years.
It's very big here, with lots of people and lots of cars.
There's a supermarket downstairs from my apartment, and next to it is a small restaurant.
The noodles at that restaurant are delicious, and I go there often.
Not far from my home there's a subway station; it's just a five-minute walk.
You can get anywhere quickly by subway.
On Sundays, I often go to the mall with friends.
There are lots of stores in the mall, and a movie theater too.
Everything here is great, but when it rains there are too many cars on the roads.
Although I didn't grow up here, I really like it here.
