Перевод: Это фотография моего города тридцать лет назад. На Главной улице было много магазинов. Они работали с девяти до пяти. Там также была библиотека. В некоторые вечера она была открыта допоздна. Там было так много книг! На углу моей улицы был магазин сладостей. Это был небольшой магазин, но внутри было несколько сотен банок со сладостями и шоколадом. Это был мой любимый магазин! В моём городе было не много машин, поэтому движение было не очень интенсивным. Я знал многих людей в городе. Все они были очень дружелюбными. В школе у меня было много друзей. Все они были очень лёгкими в общении. После школы мы обычно играли в футбол. За моей школой было футбольное поле. Оно было довольно маленьким, но нас это не волновало!
