New city, new start: Daniel's story continues
Daniel arrived in the city yesterday, but this morning everything still feels new. There is a small cafe near his apartment, there are buses outside the station, and people are always moving quickly.
He lives in a quiet room above a shop. The room is small, but it is warm, bright, and close to the train. Daniel does not know anyone yet, so he writes simple sentences in his notebook: I arrived yesterday. I live near the station. There is a cafe across from the bus stop. Where is the supermarket?
At night, he looks out the window and smiles. The city feels busy and unfamiliar, but he is not lost. He is learning how to name the world around him, one honest sentence at a time.
Say 6 lines about a new place in your life. Use one past action, one present fact, one a/an/the noun, one simple question, one adjective, and one place phrase like near, across from, or above.
