My ideal town is by the sea. It is not very big but it has many things.
It has quiet streets, but...
It has commercial streets too. It has a grocery, a baker’s, a clothes shop, a library, a pharmacy, a supermarket,
and...
It has a school and an hospital,
It has a bank, a theater and a cinema,
It has a pub and some restaurants.
There are beautiful streets with sculptures,
A big park with a lake and activities for children.
It has an airport and a train station too.
It is near to the beach
And beautiful landscapes.
Almost all the pictures of this PowerPoint belong to the city of Odense in Denmark, hometown of Hans Christian
Andersen
