What goes on in your town? Reading: What can you do in a small town? a) Read what Neda writes about her hometown and tick T (= true) or F (= false). I live in a very small town in Connecticut. There isn’t really much to do for teenagers here. If you want to hang out with friends, you have to ask your parents to drive you to the nearest shopping mall or you organize a car pool that takes three or four kids in one car. We love going to the mall. It’s so cool there. We usually go to the ice cream parlor and get our favorite sundaes. Sometimes we go there right after school, which is within walking distance, to chill. Then my dad has to pick us all up and take us home. Some of my friends go to the local church in their free time.
