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.
