   Lofton is a little village（村庄）in England. It is not f{#blank#}1{#/blank#} from the city of Manchester (曼彻斯特). Not many families l{#blank#}2{#/blank#} around the village, so the people all know each o{#blank#}3{#/blank#} . Most of them are friendly and helpful.
   Though their homes are in Lofton, many people have jobs in Manchester. S{#blank#}4{#/blank#} work in large factories there. A few work in shops or offices. Most of these people go to work by t{#blank#}5{#/blank#} . It usually t{#blank#}6{#/blank#}  about half an hour to go from Lofton to Manchester.
