In my neighborhood, there is a swimming pool and a beautiful park. On the weekend, I often go swimming with my friends. Early in the morning, I always jog with my sister around the park. But the thing I like best in my neighborhood is the public library near my school. There I not only can study and read books but also watch video and learn how to use the computer. Do you have a library like that in your neighborhood? Is there anything interesting in the place where you live? Write to me.
I'd like to say goodbye now. I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Love,
