From My Window I live in Newton Street. Today a lot of things are happening here. There is a man going out of the fish and chips bar. He is very hungry because he is eating very fast. Next to the fish and chips bar I can see a clothes shop. I think it is very expensive because the prices are excessive. There is a woman looking at the shop window. In my opinion she is very rich because she is wearing excellent clothes and jewels. On the other side there is a post office and a man is going out from it. He has some stamps in his hands. There is also a girl riding her bike among the cars that are coming and going. It is very dangerous because they are driving very fast. On the other side of the street there is a man sticking up a poster. He is on a ladder and there is a little boy going under the ladder. He is trying to frighten him. An old woman is waiting with her little dog to cross the street. And finally there are two boys speaking. One of them is wearing a hat and a backpack. In my opinion he is coming from another town and he is asking for directions. This is everything I can see from my window. It is 3.45 right now.
