My neighborhood is very interesting place. My home is located in apartment building downtown, near many stores and offices. There is small supermarket across the street where my family likes to go shopping. There is also post office and bank near our home. In our neighborhood, there is small, green park where my family likes to have picnics on weekends and holidays. There is small pond in the park, and there are many ducks in the pond. We like to invite our friends when we go there, and we always have great time! In addition, there is elementary school close to our home where my little brother studies in the third grade. There are so many things to see and do in my neighborhood, and that's why I like it! It's really great place!
