I grew up in a small town called Essex Junction, Vermont. Vermont is the state bewtween New York and New Hampshire. Vermont gets its name from the French "Ver (vert)= green and mont (montagne)= mountain; therefore, Vermont is known as the Green Mountain State.
I was born in Burlington, Vermont. Burlington is the biggest city near my house, but compared to Boston, it is a very tiny city. Essex Junction is a small town about 3 miles northeast of Burlington. My parents, grandparents and my mother's brother's family have lived in this town since the early 1970s. When I was born, my parents started building their own house, so I spent the first 6 months living with my parents at my grandparents' house.
There isn't a lot to see in my town. It is a very relaxing and slow paced place. There is no traffic, but almost everyone has a car. You cannot rely on public transportation. If you go there, you would see many people walking, biking and playing outside. There are two shopping plazas in the middle of town, and there is a giant park across from the middle school. The park has a public swimming pool where I used to take swimming lessons. I went to elementary, middle and highschool in Essex Junction. The schools are very good. IBM is the major company in Essex Junction, and this has helped the growth and economy of the town.
I have been in Burlington last year but i stayed there only one hour. We talked about this city in our house because my brother say always that there the food is very nice,and if you want to break your contract with tmobile say to them I'm moving in Burlington
ReplyDeleteWhy is this? Does Tmobile have a special contract or are they more understanding when people move to Burlington? I know you have only been there for an hour, but I would recommend you go back. It is worth it!
ReplyDeleteI would like to go visit this small town because Ilike to travel a diferent country and town, and know what is the diferent than here, I think the diferent there is because you said the town isn't alot to see, but would be interesting to go vicit your town.
