7. What's the difference between where you are living now and
where you have lived in the past?
“The main difference between where I am living now and where I have lived in the past is
the size and pace of the city. Previously, I lived in a small town with a close-
knit community and a slower lifestyle. The current city I reside in is much
larger, bustling with activity and offering a wider range of amenities and opportunities.”
A few months ago, I found myself in a bustling city square during a lively festival. The
noise emanated from a diverse crowd engaged in various activities like street
performances, live music, and vendors promoting their goods. Initially, the cacophony
felt overwhelming, but as I embraced the festive spirit, I joined in the celebrations,
interacting with the crowd and appreciating the vibrant energy around me. Despite the
initial surprise, I came to enjoy the lively atmosphere, realizing that the collective noise
was a testament to the community's shared joy and celebration.
So, at first, the intensity of the noise was startling. Navigating through the crowded
streets, I felt a twinge of annoyance, actually, as the sounds merged into a chaotic
symphony. However, as I immersed myself in the festivities, as I said before, my initial
irritation gave way to a growing sense of excitement and community spirit. The shared
joy and celebration permeating the air became infectious.
So, basically, I went from being in the kind of frame of mind when I wasn’t in the mood
for noise at all, to actually getting carried away with the spirit of the occasion. It just
goes to show that sometimes we need to shift our mood when it comes to moving from
one type of activity to another, or one state of mind to another, and I think that’s very
true when it comes to living in a big city where you are likely to be going from quiet
places to noisy places, from stressful places to fun places – you have to learn to be
adaptable – and that’s one of things that stood out that I took away with me that day:
it’s good to be a little bit adaptable.
18.Describe sth in your country that you are interested in
One place in Vietnam that has always fascinated me is Da Lat City. Nestled in the
Central Highlands, Da Lat is renowned for its stunning natural beauty, pleasant climate,
and unique charm.
What captivates me about Da Lat is its picturesque landscapes. The city is surrounded
by rolling hills, lush pine forests, and serene lakes, making it a haven for
nature enthusiasts. The temperate climate, often referred to as the "City
of Eternal Spring," offers a refreshing escape from the sweltering heat of many
Vietnamese cities.
One iconic attraction in Da Lat is Xuan Huong Lake, a picturesque body of water
surrounded by flower gardens and walking paths. Strolling around the lake, especially
during the blooming season, is a serene and enchanting experience.
The city is also famous for its vibrant flower industry. The Flower Park boasts an
incredible variety of colorful blooms, showcasing the region's agricultural prowess.
Moreover, Da Lat is known for its French colonial architecture, evident in landmarks
like the Da Lat Railway Station and the Linh Phuoc Pagoda, adorned with intricate
mosaic art.
Da Lat's cuisine is unique as well, offering delectable dishes like rice cakes, meatball
sandwiches, and the renowned rice paper pizza.
In summary, Da Lat City's combination of breathtaking scenery, pleasant weather,
cultural richness, and unique cuisine make it a place in Vietnam that I am genuinely
interested in exploring and experiencing in all its splendor.

I) RELAXING
1. Do people have enough places to relax in your country?
Vietnam is a developing country. High population density will mean there are thousands of
more restaurants and entertainment areas. They have many choices to relax their minds after a
tiring day or week of work. In my opinion, the people here have enough and many choices of
places to relax.
2.What do people do when they are relax?
In my opinion, each person has different ways to relieve stress. Some people just like to be
alone reading books, some people like to play games with friends. As for me, drinking coffee
with my best friends is the most relaxing and comfortable thing to do to relieve all the stress
and fatigue after studying hard
3. Is physical activity good for relax?
For me, going to the gym or swimming is one of the activities that can both exercise your health
and relax your mind. Concentration will help you forget the stress you are experiencing, along
with helping you feel lighter and more relaxed as you immerse yourself in the cool water.
4. Do you think that spending too much time in front of screen is
good for relaxing?
In my opinion, not, sitting behind a screen for a long time will be very harmful to your eyes and
cause some other diseases. Instead of sitting next to the screen, we need to do some other
activities like playing sports or hanging out with friends to relieve stress.
5. Do people have to spend a lot of money on relaxing?
Oh, not enough.There are many ways to relax like reading a book or texting with friends, these
things won't cost too much money. Some other people will choose to go out to get some fresh
air with friends or go to restaurants and cafes to relieve stress, this will cost some money but
not really too much.

holidays. Tet is an important holiday and has a break of at most one week.
