Hello, my name is Jill. This is my neighborhood. It is very beautiful . My house is next to a new building （楼房） on Green Street. My best friend Betty lives in that building. There is a clean and big park across from the building. I often play football there. 

There is a music school in my neighborhood. I walk there to learn the piano every Saturday afternoon. It is across from a bank. Where is the supermarket? It is between the park and the music school. Betty's mother is a sales clerk（售货员） there. There is a new library next to the music school. And the library is across from an old post office. My mother works at the post office. 

—OK. I'm coming. It's exciting to sleep in it tonight.
