My sister also wants to move out. She said that she would enjoy a sunbath on a sunny day. She really likes the beach. I will go to the beach with her and my mother.

I live in Stroud, a small town in England. The town is beautiful with hills around it. I enjoy living here because it's very interesting.
There is a nice town center. It's safe(安全的) for people to walk around as no one can drive on most of the streets. The town center has some common shops, like a butcher's(肉店), a cake shop and a clothes shop. There are some shops that I call “dangerous(有危险的)” because it's easy to spend lots of money in them! In fact, these shops are wonderful places to find gifts. The best one is called Seren. It sells handmade things from all over the world.
Maybe the best thing about the town is Saturday mornings, as there's a market then. The market is in the town center. It is always popular, and it's a great place to meet friends.
