I would say,
- En mi pueblo tenemos varios negocios. Tenemos una panadería, una pastelería (Normally these two are one place "Panadería y Pastelería"), una carnicería y un kiosco que está a cinco minutos. La pastelería vende pasteles a buen precio (The word "barato" gives the impression of something cheaply made), pero los productos de la panadería son muy caros y de mala calidad. (The word "asquerosos" is very strong! It is like vile, disguting, loathsome). En el kiosco es donde compro mis revistas. (diarios = newspapers)
- I would use the word "pueblo" instead of "ciudad" because "ciudad" is a city and in cities , obviously you can find many businesses, but a "pueblo" or town, you might have some but not all of them. It is like, oh yes, we have a bakery in NY, Seattle, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Caracas, etc.
- Oh, and the word "tienda" is a specific business! like the ones you see here everywhere. You can buy pretty much anyything there!
- A tienda is a home based little business. They are found all over regular neighbohoods and do not need to be in a "commercial zone" In a tienda, you can buy from school supplies, to all kind of groceries, canned food, rice, beans, sugar etc., you can even buy half a bottle of cooking oil, half a stick of butter, etc. It is like a mini-mart but more "user friendly"
En mi ciudad, hay muchas tiendas. Hay una panadería, pastelería, carnicería, y también un kiosco que está a pocos pasos [de las tiendas]. Compro mis diarios/periódicos allá. En la pastelería se venden pasteles baratos, pero los panaderos son muy caros y es asquerosos. Tenemos un kiosco que es donde compro mis diarios.
I'll post the English in a few minutes.
In my city, there are many shops. There is a bakery,a cake shop, a butcher's shop, and also a newspaper stand that is close by. I buy my newspapers there.In the cake shop, they sell cheap cakes, but the bakers are expensive and filthy.
A few pointers.
"Hay" would be better than "tener" here.
"la carnicería (butcher's shop)" would fit better than "el carnicero (butcher)" because, in that sentence, you are talking about the shops that are there, not the people.
"a pocos pasos de" = "close to, near"
"En la pastelería se venden pasteles baratos." most closely means "Cheap cakes are sold at the cake shop."
"los panaderos son" subject verb agreement.
Tenemos un kiosco que es donde compro mis diarios. This is mentioned earlier in the paragraph, so I cut this part out, but I still kept the information that you buy newspapers there.
"In my town, we have many shops. We have a bakery, cake shop, butchers, and we have a kiosk that is five minutes away. The cakes are cheap, but the bakers is very expensive and is disgusting. We have a kiosk which is where I buy my magazines."
En mi pueblo (this is more used to mean town) Ciudad (city is usually bigger)
En mi pueblo, hay muchas tiendas. Hay una panadería, una pastelería, unos carniceros y también, un quiosco (o kiosco) que está a cinco minutos lejos. Los pasteles realmente son baratos pero los panaderos que los venden los hacen caros aunque los pasteles tengan un sabor asqueroso. Hay un quiosco (o kiosco) donde compro revistas para mí.
In my town, there are a lot of stores. There's a bakery, a cake shop, some butchers and also a kiosk that is five minutes away. The cakes are actually cheap but the bakers who sell them make them expensive although they taste disgusting. There's a kiosk where I buy my magazines. (magazines for myself)
I hope this helps.
