My Neighborhood

I came to the U.S. last year, and now I’m living in the suburbs of Seattle. Before I moved here, I was worried about my neighborhood because I didn’t know what my neighborhood would be like. But I didn’t have to worry because there are more good things than bad things in my neighborhood.

There are a lot of things I like about neighborhood. It has plenty of nature, but it is still convenient. For example, there are some parks. I often go to a park with my son. We enjoy playing soccer at the playground. And we sometime go on a picnic at a park. It’s very comfortable to have fresh air. Also, my house is located at a convenient place. There are some grocery stores near my house. I can go there on foot. It’s very convenience for me because I don’t drive a car.

There is only one thing I don’t like about my neighborhood. For instance, we often see trash on the road. And sometimes the shopping carts are left on the street. It’s a shame that garbage spoils the atmosphere of such a beautiful city. I think if there were more trashcans on the streets, there would be less trash on the road.

As described, there are good things and not good things in my neighborhood. I often see trash on the road, and I am disappointed to see it. However, there are more good things than bad things in my neighborhood. It’s just the right balance between the city and the country, so I am satisfied with my neighborhood.
