My living environment is not so good as you think. It’s an old housing estate which may been built in the 80-90’s of last century. The building is about 21 meters high with 7 floors. There is no elevator in this old building so that you need to climb stairs when you get up and down.

Around these old buildings, there are many tall trees which include huge banyan and others that their names I don’t know. The highest trees can grow as high as the building I live in now. On the ground which around the road that across east to west, there are many little flowers and little grass.

Many people live in this old housing estate. In the morning or afternoon, you can see many persons get in and out to go to work, go to school or buy food such as rice, meat, fruit and vegetables.

Nearby this old housing estate, there are two schools which one is primary school, and another one is middle school. There are many teenage students get in and out every day to go to school or leave school.

There are three or four bus stations nearby this area. When you go far away from this city, you can take buses there, and then take metro to the destinations. Now, there are many constructions in process, so there is too much traffic in peak hours and is not convenient to get in and out.
