New housing development

If you look at the south entrance at the bottom of the map, there is a road from there that goes right up
through the development. The school will be on that road, at the corner of the second turning to the
left (ở góc ngoặt thứ hai bên trái của con đường).  lối đi, con đường, vị trí

A large sports centre will be on the western side of the development, just below the road that
branches off from London road.  lối vào, vị trí, con đường

There will be a clinic. Can you see the lake towards the top of the map? The clinic will be just below this,
to the right of the street of houses (dưới cái hồ, ở bên phải của một dãy nhà).  địa danh, vị trí

There will also be a community centre for people of all ages. On the northeast side of the development,
there will be a row of specially designed houses specifically for residents over 65, and the community
centre will be adjoining this (gắn chặt với tòa nhà được thiết kế dành riêng cho người già).  hướng,
địa danh, vị trí

There will be a supermarket between the two entrances to the development. We are planning to leave
the three large trees near London road, and it will be just to the south of these (ở phía nam của ba cái
cây sắp bị rời đi gần đường London).  địa danh, vị trí

It is planned to have a playground. If you look at the road that goes up from the sounth entrance (đi
thẳng lên từ lối vào phía nam), you will see it curves round to the left at the top (nó uốn cong sang bên
trái ở phía trên), and the playground will be in that curve (nằm trên đường uốn cong của con đường đi
thẳng lên từ lối vào phái nam), with nice view of the lake.  lối đi, con đường, vị trí, địa danh
