Write your own answers for the questions. Use the sample answers as a guide

1. Where do you live?


I currently living with my parents in a house with a large garden in the countryside. It is
far from the city; this is a Quang Tri Province.
2. How long have you lived there?
I’ve been living there since I was born. At times I leave the city just for a while when I go
on holiday.
3. What do you like about your home?
The house itself was quite modern. It had three bedrooms, separate kitchen and dining
rooms and a spacious lounge. It was mostly carpeted and the large windows let in plenty
of natural light
4. What do you like most about your home?
It’s the dining room where my family spends our time together.  Not only lunch or dinner
but all our family reunions take place in the dining room where we can enjoy a
harmonious atmosphere. We always try to keep the family dinner as something we cannot
go a day without, since for us it’s the family bonding that lies behind.
5. If you could change anything about your home, what would it be?
 I would like to change the backyard of my house which is filled with all the rubbish
waste material thrown over the past few years. If the grass area gets cleared well, it could
be turned into a beautiful place where one can place few benches for sitting purpose.

1. Where is your hometown


I was born and raised in Quang Tri province which is an idyllic countryside located in the
Central of Vietnam.
2. What do you like about your hometown?
I like that it is a peaceful place. In this place, there are no car horns, no companies, or
crowded people, you name it. But you can find breathtaking views of mountains or poetic
rivers where you can get a sense of tranquility.
3. Has it changed much since you were a kid?
Actually yes. It has changed enormously. 20 years ago I could barely find tall building
around my area, but now I can easily catch sight of skyscrapers and tower blocks there.
4. What don’t you like about your hometown?
Personally, it’s a bit boring for me because as a small town, there is not much shopping
mall or any other means of entertainment. The streets are not very crowded as well.
However, I believe that it has been improving day by day and becoming a
potential hotspot due to the increasing number of annual visitors.
