5 Read Kerry’s description of her town. Which is her
favourite place in town?

My town

Hi, my name’s Kerry and I live in Portree. It’s a village on the
Isle of Skye in Scotland.
In the past Portree was a small fishing village and there
weren’t many shops. There was a post office and bank, but
there wasn’t a supermarket or a sports centre. It was a very
quiet town.
Today Portree is different. There’s a big, modern supermarket
and a new swimming pool. There’s a cinema too (my favourite
place )! In the summer it’s very busy. Tourists visit the
island, so Portree has restaurants and hotels. People also
swim in the sea! Portree is a lovely place to live.
