My name's Nam. I live with my parents in Ho Chi Minh City, a very big city in Vietnam. There are a lot of people
living here, so it is very crowded and noisy. It also has lots of high buildings. Life in this city is more exciting
than life in my hometown. During summer holidays, my parents and I often go back to our hometown, Nghe
An. It is central Vietnam. It is smaller than Ho Chi Minh City. Life here is quieter than life in the city because
