READING
Read the following text and answer the questions.

Kingsville

Hi! My name is Brianda and I live in Kingsville. It´s a beautiful place, but it´s not very big.
About 8,000 people live here. In Kingsville there are about thirty shops and there are three
big shopping malls. You can buy almost everything in there. There are four banks and two
libraries on Main Street. There´s a coffee shop in front of the town hall too.
My favorite pizza shop is on the corner of Oak Street. I like this place because they have
different kind of pizzas. They´re really delicious! Near my house there´s also a market
where you can buy fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and dairy products.
There are three churches downtown and there is a park too. In the park children can play
because there is a playground area. In Kingsville there are interesting places where you can
go with your family or friends, for example there is a theater and a museum. But
unfortunately, there isn´t an aquarium or a football stadium. I love living in my town
because it is a calm place and people are friendly.
