Model:

Hi, my name is Kerry and I live in Portree. It’s a village on the Isle of Skye in Scotland.

In the past, Portree was a small fishing village and there weren’t many shops. There was a post office and
bank, but there wasn’t a supermarket or a sports centre. It was a very quiet town.

Today Portree is different. There’s a big, modern supermarket and a new swimming pool.There’s a cinema
too (my favourite place 😀)! In the summer it’s very busy. Tourists visit the island, so Portree has
restaurants and hotels. People also swim in the sea! Portree is a lovely place to live.
