📖 Reading

My name is Sofia. I live in a small town with my family. I love my town because there are many nice places here. Every morning, I walk to the bakery near my house. The bakery is next to the park. I buy bread there, and it smells so good! After that, I go to school. My school is between the library and the supermarket. On Saturdays, my family and I go to the market. We buy fruit and vegetables. Then we go to the park. My little brother can play on the swings, and I can read a book under a tree. It's very relaxing. In the afternoon, we sometimes visit the museum. It is a big, old building in the town centre. There are many interesting things inside. My favourite room has dinosaur bones! At night, my parents and I go to a restaurant near the river. The food is delicious, and we can see the water from our table. I think my town is a wonderful place to live.
