I moved with my family from the city to a town on the coast last year. My father’s a doctor and
he was offered a new job here. He thought it was better for us to live in a small town where the
air is cleaner.
I love the place! It’s so peaceful. From my bedroom window, I’ve got a beautiful view of the
harbour. I always watch the small fishing boats leaving as the sun comes up. The town is full of
traditional shops and historical buildings. There’s also a museum, a castle and some beautiful
gardens. It’s great because everything is close at hand. It takes me just 5 minutes to walk from

At first, I didn’t like the slow pace of life here. I felt isolated and missed the hustle and bustle of
the city. Now though, I never feel bored! I’ve made lots of friends and I love life here. There are

country lanes. It’s amazing here!
