My Neighborhood I live in an older neighborhood in Yoselin and Lan are students in the Beginning Literacy ESL class in the evening Mountain View. There are a lot of things I like about it. For example, it’s a very safe neighborhood. Also, I live close to downtown and I like to meet with my friends. We go to restaurants or cafes. My apartment has a pool and I like to swim in it. There is a community garden next to my apartment. My daughter, my son-in-law, and I have a bit of land in the community garden. We plant different kinds of vegetables, flowers, and strawberries. Here we meet different people from different cultures, communicate, and exchange secrets of plant care. We really enjoy spending time in the garden. Also, I live close to my English school and I can walk to my English classes. There are a couple of things that I don’t like. For instance, shopping is hard. There aren’t any malls. I have to drive a long way to buy clothes. I like to go to the opera and ballet, but that is also a problem because I have to travel to San Francisco for over an hour. I also wish our apartment would have a gym. I love my neighborhood and I am happy to live here. Olena is a student in the Intermediate High ESL class in the evening
