A new shopping mall is opening in Nam’s neighborhood today. It is very different from the present
shopping area. All the shops are under one roof. That will be very convenient, especially during the hot
and humid summer months. Customers will shop in comfort and won’t notice the weather.
Some people in the neighborhood, however, are not happy about the changes. The owners of the
small stores on Tran Phu Street think the mall will take their business. Some of the goods in the new
stores will be the same as the ones in the small shops, but the stores in the mall will offer a wider
