Journalist speaking, I’ve seen lots of different buildings throughout my lifespan and some of them were very interesting, some of them were very high, but the building that I’d like to talk about now is the building in my hometown which is actually a very large shopping mall called Navruz Mall. Actually, it has been opened around a couple of years ago and it’s a quite popular place for residents of my hometown but also for tourists. It’s a very big shopping mall that consists of two floors and you can find any kind of destination there because there are lots of shops there from different popular brands which are famous abroad like Edgidas, Waikiki, Nike. On the first floor there are lots of shops where you can buy anything you want. There is also a mini area for a bank key so we can take some cash or even order a credit card. There are also some places for buying watches, books, cosmetics and there is also one product, food, food shop where you can buy some food, some drinks. When you go upstairs there is a very large food court with fancy restaurants there, cafes and even a huge playground for children. So you can be sure that while you’re eating or children will be safe because there is a huge playground there. There is a lot of different games, computers, cars, especially for younger people. I think this building is very interesting because it’s a very popular one in my hometown and I like going there with my friends a lot or sometimes with my family members at the weekends just spend time and enjoy some delicious food. There’s also a balcony there so I hope that this building will be still there in a few years and even get developed.

Journalist speaking, I've seen lots of different buildings throughout my lifespan, and some of them were very interesting, some of them were very high, but the building that I'd like to talk about now is the building in my hometown, which is actually a very large shopping mall called Navruz Mall. It opened a couple of years ago and is quite a popular place for residents of my hometown, but also for tourists. It's a very big shopping mall that consists of two floors, and you can find any kind of destination there because there are lots of shops from different popular brands that are famous abroad, like Adidas, Waikiki, and Nike. On the first floor, there are lots of shops where you can buy anything you want. There is also a mini area for banking, so you can take some cash or even order a credit card. There are also some places for buying watches, books, cosmetics, and there is also one food shop where you can buy some food and drinks. When you go upstairs, there is a very large food court with fancy restaurants, cafes, and even a huge playground for children. So you can be sure that while you're eating, your children will be safe because there is a huge playground there. There are a lot of different games, computers, and cars, especially for younger people. I think this building is very interesting because it's a very popular one in my hometown, and I like going there with my friends a lot or sometimes with my family members on the weekends to just spend time and enjoy some delicious food.
