Hello!

How are you? Thank you for your last email!

I live in Chester. My town is near Liverpool. I live in a house next to the park. I like playing with my friends at the park! My house is far from the school.

In Chester, there are many interesting places. There's an old cathedral. It's very beautiful! Also, there are interesting museums. There's a big zoo with many wild animals. I love visiting the zoo!

There are medieval walls and old houses. Also, there's a cinema, but there isn't a theatre. There's a sports centre and a swimming pool, but  there isn't a stadium. There's a train station, but there isn't an airport. Also, there are shops and supermarkets, but there aren't any shopping centres.

I love my town! It's very beautiful and interesting!

What about you? Where do you live? Can you describe your town?

Bye!

Peter
