THE TOWN WHERE I LIVE

Hello again!
This is an example of a composition which one of you wrote (I've made very few changes). You can see it's not so difficult, you can do something like this. The only thing you must do is control basic mistakes from previous levels and use new structures and vocabulary.
REMEMBER:

• you must always use the subject
• normal sentence order is: SUBJECT + VERB + OBJECT + COMPLEMENTS
• adjectives go BEFORE nouns: There's a wonderful church and they DO NOT have plural (I saw three tall men)
• don't forget the final -s in plurals and for the 3rd person singular in the Present Simple
• we only use capital letters at the beginning of sentences, with "I", days of the week, months, names of people/places...
• avoid repetitions using pronouns: I live in Valleseco, it's a nice small town
• and please... DO NOT MAKE MISTAKES FROM NB1 (like+ing, a/an, present and past tenses, pronouns...)
• revise your spelling
