Make sure you use the following expressions in your paragraph: lejos de, cerca de, entre, al lado de, enfrente de, and detrás de. Lastly, talk about a place you can walk to because it's near and a place you need to go by car because it's far. This needs to be done in your notebook, not the computer.
