Where you live

I’ve been living in a rented flat in the city centre. My parents’ house is quite far from the
college I go to. That’s why I’ve rented this flat to facilitate my study.

Tôi đang sống trong một căn hộ thuê ở trung tâm thành phố. Nhà của bố mẹ tôi khá xa trường
đại học mà tôi theo học. Đó là lý do tôi thuê căn hộ này để tiện cho việc học của mình.

I was born and bred in an ordinary family in the countryside. I’ve grown so attached to this
place and I can’t imagine moving elsewhere in the future.

Tôi sinh ra và lớn lên trong một gia đình bình thường ở nông thôn. Tôi đã rất gắn bó với nơi
này và tôi không thể tưởng tượng sẽ chuyển đi nơi khác trong tương lai.

I’ve been living in my current residential area for the better part of the last 4 years since I
started going to university. As I said, I had to leave my parents’ house and live independently
there.
Tôi đã sống trong khu dân cư hiện tại của mình trong 4 năm qua kể từ khi tôi bắt đầu vào đại
học. Như tôi đã nói, tôi phải rời khỏi nhà của bố mẹ và sống tự lập ở đây.

the city. But, in general, I quite enjoy life in the fast lane.
