a) Lifestyles – sounds and feelings

I imagine a city street near a park. I can see tall trees, bikes, and people walking. I smell fresh bread from a bakery and coffee from a café. I hear birds singing, cars passing, buses, and someone playing a guitar nearby. The sounds are busy but not scary. They make me feel relaxed and happy. Sometimes the traffic is a little stressful, but the fresh air makes me feel free.
