33. Model Writing
Sample: My Neighbourhood
I live in a quiet neighbourhood in Hanoi. It is more peaceful than the city centre. There are many shops and services near my house.
On my street, there is a small supermarket. It is next to a pharmacy. Opposite the supermarket, there is a park. My school is at the end of the street. It is about 10 minutes' walk from my house.
There is also a restaurant near my house. The food there is better than the food at other restaurants in the area. My neighbourhood is convenient because everything is close.
I love my neighbourhood because it is friendly and safe.
