/ n. u' B& P+ q6 l4 P' J$ L$ P　　I love Wal-Mart. It is 10 minutes walk from where I live. I usually go there once a week and you can get everything you need from Wal-Mart.
3 {3 z& c7 E8 J" V　　I love this place for several reasons. First, they have great prices and they are constantly adding more new things on each item, no matter clothes or food. Second, when I have a lot of time, I use it for exercise since it is so big. I usually walk around for hours seeing everybody I know. But if you are busy and in a hurry, you can drop the car off for an oil change. Then, do your food shopping and buy anything else you need. Finally, you can have a quick grease burger at McDonalds and go back home in only an hour.

" J4 Y- u$ l1 y　　I really like shopping there because I think the place lives up to its name, it’s really a good neighbor, not only is the place convenient, but it’s also there for me 24/7 right next to my home.
