Steven – My Community: A Small City

I live in an apartment near the fourth ring road. There are many shops under our building. My mother always buy some cookies at one of their shops.

If you go across the street, you can see a huge shopping mall.  It is humongous!  There are hundreds of shops in this mall including three big shops, a big sports club, a theatre and a supermaket.  On the fifth floor of this building, there are many different restaurants, you can eat Chinese food, Japanese food, Korean food and some western food.  And the Chinese food restaurants are the most popular, so you can eat many different Chinese meals.  In another word, you can eat the food from everywhere in China! I think it’s really fantastic! I love the mall very much.

In addition, there are also some schools, and the elementary school attached to Renmin University of China is one of the best schools all over Beijing.

What’s more, there are many lawns near our community.  In summer, old pepole and children are often playing on the lawns.  My parents and I always go there to take a walk after supper.

In a word, it is really a good community.

The place I live.This is a garden in front of my house. It says, “No pets. No sliding. No riding.” Just for people has a safe place to take a walk.
