Activity 1
: Use mind map to understand Michael’s house
Read the passage and complete the mind map.
My name is Michael and I live in Highland village.
There is a pond near my house. During the winter, it freezes and I can play hockey on it with my friends.
There is also a new shopping centre in my neighbourhood. It’s only three blocks from my house. It has a grocery store, a bank, a bookstore and a movie theatre. My mum and dad shop at the grocery store. Sometimes I go with them.
My favourite place in the neighbourhood is the bookstore. I like to go there on weekends. It’s quiet and the chairs are very comfortable. Sometimes I read for the whole afternoon.
My neighbours are kind and polite. It seems everyone enjoys a nice life here.

My dream neighbourhood
Welcome to my dream neighbourhood. Let me show you around.
It is really comfortable and convenient. There is a big parking lot in front of my house, and it’s easy for me to park my car. There is also a supermarket near our neighbourhood. I often go shopping with my family there. When I want to relax, I can go to watch a film in the movie theatre beside the supermarket. After that, I can enjoy a good meal in the restaurant nearby and have a good walk in the park. If I just want to have a quiet time, the bookstore next to my house is a nice choice. That’s my favourite place. What’s more, there is a school, a bank, a hospital and a swimming pool in the neighbourhood, so I can live an easy life here. What about your neighhourhood
