Well, I was born and raised in Binh Duong city, (Location) which is about 1-hour-drive
from Ho Chi Minh city.(Weather) Talking about the weather, my hometown is located in
southern Vietnam, so the weather is hot all year round. However, I have lived there since I

which makes it look very bright and elegant. (Location) Another thing that I would like to mention is the

eat or go shopping.

Sample: 

Well, I’m currently a sophomore at Hoa Sen university, majoring in Business and Administration. (Location)

with upgraded facilities including a library, swimming pools and sports center. (Quality) On top of that, Hoa
Sen University has gained its popularity through its quality in education, training, and internationally
recognized research for the community. (Fee, lecturers) Though the tuition fee is a bit high, the lecturers
there are well-qualified and they are extremely supportive.

my older sister is turning 25 next month. (Place of living) We live under the same roof in Binh Thanh district,

and then, but overall we get along pretty well.
