Gerund as it functions as a subject of your sentence as well.
She paused, unsure of how to correctly word how she felt. When she gathered her words she continued to write.
<em>Hi there my friend! A happy and prosperous new year to you and your family. I hope my letter comes to you in great timing and shape. I wrote to you to give you an idea about the village where I live. Who knows? Maybe one day you would want to visit here.
</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>The weather here is tropical. We only have two seasons: rainy days and summer days. Since it is January now, the weather is transitioning from cold to warm. Summer days will start on March. Aside from the weather, the village I lived in is busy as it is located in the city. The roads going to our home is always jam packed with different types of cars and vehicles. You can expect heavy traffic all the time. But then, all progressive cities have that don't they? In spite of heavy traffic, our village has numbers of malls. You can walk for about 5 to 10 minutes from our home, and you can reach a mall called SM. It has almost everything. Groceries, hardware, food courts and famous food stores. Across SM is another mall called Vista Mall which has cinemas and massage shops. There are also small hospitals nearby but to be able to go there, you can book a cab via Uber or Grab because it is no walking distance.
</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>Beside SM, we have marketplace. If you are interested in preparing your own meals, you can shop there for fresh goods. We also have 7 eleven shops and sports bar nearby. </em>
<em>
</em>
<em>Our village is composed of houses which are bungalow styles. It is made up of concrete and wood materials. People there are friendly and they almost knew each other. Everybody will greet you with huge smile on their faces every morning. They are also helpful in times of calamities and problems. When it comes to security, our village gate is guarded with armed security guards who never leave their post to monitor every one coming in and out of the village. There are also CCTV cameras on the streets to ensure the safety of all people living there.

<em>I hope I have described my village to you. In your next letter, can you describe me yours?
</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>I am looking forward to hear from you. </em>

</em>
<em>Best regards,
</em>
