There’s also a park, which has a small playground for children and a large field. I ______ tennis there with my friends after school. All of the houses have a small front yard but big backyards. Most of my neighbors have a swimming pool, and some even have a trampoline!

Everyone has a flower garden, and in the spring, it is very beautiful. My road is called Maple Road. It is not in the city. It’s in the suburbs. There ________ restaurants, bars or cinemas on my road. But, if you go to Main street, you can find a lot of things to do.

I like my neighborhood because it is very safe. There is no crime, and all of my neighbors take care of each other. The police station is next to the school, which is very nice. However, the hospital is quite far. It is in the city, and we _______ 30 minutes to get there.

My friends ______ near me, and we often meet up to play or just talk. We love playing hockey in the street because there isn’t any traffic. I think I am lucky to live in my neighborhood.
