"Getting Around My Neighborhood"
My name is Emma. I live in a small and quiet neighborhood. It is very easy to get around. I usually walk to school because it is close to my house. On weekends, I take the bus to the city center. My dad drives to work, but my mom uses her bike. We don’t need a car all the time. There are sidewalks and parks, so it is safe to walk. I like my neighborhood because I can go many places without a car.
