Question

Dear Brian,

How are you? I have a good time living in my new neighborhood. There is a sports center in it. It's just in front of our house, so my father often goes there to swim. There is also a park in my neighborhood. It's not far from my school. I like to spend time there with my friends after school. But my favourite place is the zoo. To get there, I usually ride my bike for ten minutes.

On Friday evening, my parents and I usually eat out. There are three restaurants near my home. Mr. Green's restaurant is our favourite. Mr. Green is always friendly. The food is cheap and delicious. Lots of people like to have dinner there.

Can you come to see me when you're free? I'll show you around my neighborhood.

Yours,

Michael
