Claudia's Errand Service
Claudia: Hi, how are you feeling?
Roberto: Awful. But I have some errands I have to do today.
Claudia: I think you'd better stay home. I can do your errands for you. I’m never in your neighborhood. It’ll be fun.
Roberto: Thanks.
Claudia: Claudia’s Errand Service!
Roberto: OK. Could you get some groceries for me at the Food Mart on Fourth Street? There’s a grocery list right over there.
Claudia: OK.
Roberto: And would you mind picking up my dry cleaning? It’s at the cleaners next to the supermarket across the street from the park.
Claudia: Park... got it. Groceries, dry cleaning... anything else?
Roberto: Yes, would you mind picking up a movie for me?
Claudia: OK. Where?
Roberto: Just go to the video store on the corner of Fourth Street and Bowery.
Claudia: OK. What kind of movie?
Roberto: You decide.
Claudia: OK. Anything else?
Roberto: Nope. That’s it.
Claudia: OK.

Claudia: Oh, speaking of... I'd better get going. I have a bus to catch.
Roberto: Hey, there is one more thing...
Claudia: What?

My Neighborhood
Julianna: In Brazil, my neighborhood is very safe. I live close to restaurants, parks and close to the beach. My house is very well-located.
Alejandra: My neighborhood in Buenos Aires is a residential neighborhood. It is close to shops and I can walk to the shops. There are a lot of trees on the sidewalks and it is quite safe.
Lourdes: There is a big school near my house there is also a very nice park nearby. There are many cars that pass through the neighborhood, so we have a lot of traffic. Also we have public transportation. We have two trains that pass by my house, so you really don’t need a car if you don’t want to use a car. It’s very easy to get around taking public transportation.
