I live in a small village called Henfield.there are about 500 people here.The village
is quiet and life here is slow and easy. You never have to queue in shops or banks .People never throw their
rubbish in the streets, so the village is always clean. The air is also very clean because there is not much
heavy traffic.However, there are some things I don
’
t like about Henfield. One thing is that there is not much
to do in the evening. We haven
