Chloe: Hello! I want to tell you about my town, Riverwood. It's not a very big town. It is small, but I like living here. It's usually very quiet and nice. We have a main street. There are some good shops there. There is a supermarket. My family buys our food there. There is a very nice bakery. The bread and cakes are delicious! And there is my favourite shop, a little bookshop with interesting books.

There isn't a train station in Riverwood. That is sometimes a problem. But there are buses. The buses go to the nearest big city. That is good. One great thing about Riverwood is the park. It's quite large. It is near my house. There is a small river in the park. So, the town is Riverwood!

I often go to the park on Saturday or Sunday morning for a walk. Many children play there. People walk their dogs. Or people sit on the benches and read. There is also a small library. It is next to the post office. It's not very big, but it has good books. It is a friendly town. People often say hello in the street. Yes, it's a nice place to live.
