Dear Jack,

    My town is very small. Only a few hundred people live here. It has a river with an old bridge across it. There is a church and a school along the river. They are next to each other. Across from our school is a park. It was built last year. I always go there to have fun with my friends. On Main Street there is a hotel, a supermarket, a gas station, a bakery, a butcher's shop and a grocery store.

    We don't have a hospital or a police station, but we do have a doctor and a police officer. They live on opposite sides of the river.

    We don't have a movie theater. If we want to go to a movie, we have to go to the next town. It is a 30-minute bus ride away. The bus stop is outside my house I usually go to the movies with my mom every Saturday.

    Please write soon and tell me something about your place.

    Best wishes

Bruce
