The vocabulary is adequate for the topic, but it could be more varied and precise. Consider using more descriptive words related to transportation and distances. For instance, instead of just saying 'short distance,' you could use phrases like 'a stone's throw away' or 'within walking distance' to add more color to your response.

The grammar is mostly accurate, but there are a few errors, such as 'mood' instead of 'mode' and some issues with article usage ('the' before 'coffee shop'). Pay attention to these small errors and practice using articles correctly. Also, ensure subject-verb agreement in your sentences.
