Model Answer
A place I return to often is a small a short walk from my home. I usually go on Saturday mornings, my partner and sometimes on my own for reading time. I order a cappuccino and, if I am hungry, a plain croissant. The place is on a tree-lined side street, so the noise from traffic is not bad. I like the soft light through the big window and the friendly barista who always remembers my order. there and it is an easy start to the weekend for me.
