Obligatory Activity: Describing places!
Read this model description:
Hi! I was born in a very quiet place. It is peaceful and clean. It is green and safe. It is far
from the city. There are not any shops or noise. Life is cheap and simple. It’s a small
village, just 3.000 people live here. Sometimes it is kind of boring, but I like living here.
There is no pollution or stress. What about you? Describe the place you were born. Is it
a city? Is it a village? Is it a town? What is it like?
