1. Read. First, read the next description of a community. Then, underline useful expressions ¡°there is¡­¡± and ¡°there are¡­. Second, take Notes on new Vocabulary: _________________________________________________________________________________________ Hi, my name is Karla and I am going to describe my community. I live in El Roble, Puntarenas. In my town, there is a small butchery where you can buy fresh meat. Mr. Antonio is the owner and it is located in front of a church. This church is a large and quiet place, but if you want to relax you can go to the park or the soccer field. These are located in front of the Catholic Church and across from the Fire Station. El Roble School is near the Fire Station. Education is essential in El Roble. There are many good schools around town where children can receive excellent education. There is tasty bread and delicious cakes in Tentaciones¡¯ place; it is a neat bakery next to the Furniture store. This store is across from Salazar Photo store. Mr. Salazar is the owner right now. There is an ATM from Costa Rica¡¯s Bank near the drugstore in my town. The drugstore is next to a pet shop where you can buy dog and cat food and supplies. In El Roble, there are many big supermarkets such as Pal¨ª, MaxiPal¨ª or Megasuper. Pal¨ª is across from Algara Clinic, MaxiPal¨ª is on the Costanera highway and Megasuper is between the bus stop and Pal¨ª. My sister likes every time we go to buy groceries and food in the supermarket on Sundays. Some products are expensive or cheap depending on the brand. Unfortunately, in El Roble there isn¡¯t any fast food restaurant. You need to go to San Jos¨¦ or San Ram¨®n to buy a McDonald¡¯s happy meal. However, puntarenenses don?t like fast food. They prefer to buy a delicious ceviche at Per¨²Tico¡¯s restaurant or go to Paseo de los Turistas to get ice cream and play soccer at the beach. Key words: Butchery ¨C Church ¨C School ¨C Bakery ¨C ATM ¨C Park ¨C Clinic ¨C Supermarket - Pet shop - Bus stop ¨C Bank ¨C Soccer field ¨C Fire Station Remember: You can tell the number of places when you use the phrases such as: ¡°there is¡± for one place and ¡°there are¡± for more than one place 1.
