The village is just a group of white houses on a hillside with some shops, and it's3peaceful.
One reason why I like it is because it's a beautiful place. My grandmother has a lovely garden and we always sit 4the trees, drinking sweet tea and chatting. It's so pleasant. But the main reason why this place is so important to me is5. She is so kind to me, and wonderful to talk to. Also, she's a great cook and the meals she prepares are simple 6so fresh and. rich? No, no, I mean tasty. And she's always giving me eh. What do you call 7?—small plates of food during the day, so I always return home feeling calm and refreshed and8!
I wouldn't like9there, though. I prefer living in the city. I'm a city person. I10live in a small village where everybody knows each other. I'd rather live in a busy, exciting place. But I really love visiting the villages for holiday.
