A SPEECH ABOUT MY HOMETOWN
My lovely hometown is located on the south shore of an island. It' s a small town with only about9, 000 people and an area of about 3. 8 square miles.
First, I want to talk about the people in the neighborhood.
Generally speaking, people are verynice here, especially in summer. I feel that in summer everyone is in a great mood, and verygenerous. For example, one summer afternoon, I was at the gas station filling up my car andwas short of money. Generously an old gentleman gave me the money to pay the gas attendant.That'sthe type of people you can expect from my hometown.
The greatest part about the town, in my opinion, is the
location.The Great Bay is five minutesaway from my house and it' s fantastic. Another great thing is how close everybody lives to eachother. With it being such a small town, all my friends live five minutes away, which is a greatadvantage to me and everyone else. Lastly, the nightlife is great. On any Saturday night everybar is packed with people, so there' s always something going on.
So far I' ve explained the good side of my hometown, but there are also some boring things aboutit. It is great in summer, but it is a different story in winter. When winter comes around, thetown turns into a ghost town.This is because there is nowhere to go. The only thing we haveis a shopping center. It would be nice if we had a few more options to choose from.
