Reflection
Through the assignment, I noticed that my hometown is a
developing city. It is very potential for tourism, and it can exploit
more about the tourism industry in the future. Before, I haven't
thought my city is beautiful and famous like that. I thought
there wouldn't be anything to write about in my hometown. Then,
I saw that Danang is a peaceful place with majestic mountains,
fresh seas, and romantic landscapes. I can enjoy the most
profound quintessence in the world. Now, I'm very proud that I
was born and grew up in Danang.
