My city

We are in the centre of a big city. There are high buildings (sky-scrapers) on

each side of the street. The traffic is heavy: buses and trolley-buses carrying

passengers; trucks and vans carrying mail and loads. There are different kinds of cars running along the streets. Be careful crossing the street, look at the traffic-light:

The green light says — go,

The yellow says — attention,

The red light says — no, no any action.

When the green light flashes first look on the left, in the middle of the street look

on the right and after that you may go on crossing the road if everything is all right.

All the people walk on the pavement (sidewalk). Some of them are in a hurry and

others might stop at the large display window, they are interested in some things to

buy or they simply look at their own reflection.
