Well, I’m currently(now) living in a small flat which is just 5-minutes apart by

province but I am living and working in Hue. But now due to the covid-19, I am
returning to my homeland and living with my parents in my house now.

2. Whom do you live with? (Do you live alone or with anyone else?)
-I’m currently (now) sharing my living space with one more friend and we’re
living in a small flat nearby our University. I know that living alone is
sometimes better because I can enjoy my privacy and freedom, I mean If I
want to cook, I just cook, if want to stay up late I just stay up late BUT living

University but honestly speaking (thành thực mà nói), I don’t intend to

another flat.

4. Do you prefer living in a house or a flat?
