MY VILLAGE
I live in a village by Mekong River. Every day, like most of my friends, I walk to school. It is three
kilometers away. After class, I often help my mother to collect water from the river and feed the
chickens. At the weekend, the villagers often gather at the community hall where there is a TV. The
adults watch TV, but more often they talk about their farm work and exchange news. The children run
around playing games and shouting merrily. Laughter is heard everywhere. My father sometimes
takes me to the market town nearby where he sells our home products like vegetables, fruits, eggs...
He then buys me an ice cream and lets me take a ride on the electric train in the town square. I love
those trips. On starry nights, we children lie on the grass, looking at the sky and daring each other to
find the Milky Way. We dream of faraway places.
