family members. I love spending time with my family because it's a great way to connect with them.

take photos and look at them later. My big brother and I are also into cooking. My brother looks for easy

isn't; nevertheless, we love whatever we cook. The leisure activity I like the most is doing DIY projects

I feel fortunate that I am living in a peaceful village in southern Viet Nam. The scenery here is beautiful
and picturesque with vast fields stretching long distances. The houses are surrounded by green trees. There
are lakes, ponds, and canals here and there. The air is fresh and cool. Life here seems to move more slowly
than in cities. The people work very hard. They grow vegetables, cultivate rice, and raise cattle. At harvest
time, they use combine harvesters to harvest their crops. Many families live by growing fruit trees in the
orchards. Others live by fishing in lakes, ponds, and canals. Life in the village is very comfortable for
children. They play traditional games. Sometimes they help their parents pick fruit and herd cattle.
People in my village know each other well. They are friendly and hospitable. They often meet each other
in the evening, eating fruit, playing chess, singing folk songs, and chatting about everyday activities.
