CITY LIGHTS
Line

I was born in a small country town. When I was young
it seemed as an idea place to live. I had lots of friends to play with and I
was enough happy. But, as I got older, everything suddenly seemed
like a bit boring. I wanted to go to museums and theaters but they were too far
away to get to very often. Then, when I was 16, we moved to London because
my father was offered a much more better job in a big hospital in the city center.
At first, my brothers and I were very unhappy. The people in the city seemed be
really unfriendly to us. However, we made friends eventually and we slowly realized
there was a lot much more to do in the city than in the country. Near our house,
for example, there was a fantastic amusement park. It was the most greatest place
I could imagine! We used to spend as much time as we could there. We were too
young for to go on many of the rides, but we loved the atmosphere. When I was a little older, I discovered many more exciting places to visit.
