TRANSCRIPT
Hi, everybody,
My name is Emily. I live in a nice village in the north-west of England. My brother, his wife and their children live there too, but I live on Scott Street and they live in centre of the village. We’re very happy here.

There are only a few shops and there isn´t always a lot to do. There’s a big community centre where you can do a lot of activities. My sister-in-law does Zumba classes twice a week, my brother plays badminton with his friends and I sing in the choir on Mondays.
The village has a small cinema where we can see films. Next to the cinema there’s a big restaurant. They make the most delicious sandwiches and pizzas. I sometimes have dinner with my family there.
I work in the local Green Grocer´s so everybody knows me in the village. There is a butchers next door and next to that, a supermarket.
In my village there are two pubs and a big park. There are lots of flowers and trees. I love jogging and riding my bike at weekends.
