First, it will be more convenient and efficient for your travel. In Hanoi, there is Noi Bai
international airport with a full range of flights from countries around the world. This
helps you not spend too much time traveling like going to Sapa or Da Nang. Second,
going to visit Hanoi will help you get many interesting traditional experiences. There are
many famous places with thousands years of cultural history that going to visit Sapa or
going to visit Da Nang do not have. You can also see the scenery of Hanoi at any time of
the year, because all four seasons of Hanoi have their own beauty. By contrast, going to
visit Sapa or going to visit Da Nang you may be susceptible to bad weather such as rain,
wich makes it harder for your to experience activities. In conclusion, going to visit Hanoi
is the best option for me

Your cousin is going to Hanoi to study at a university and he is looking for
accommodation. There are some suggested options: staying at the university dormitory,
staying at a relative’s house, and renting a house with friends. Which do you think is the
best choice?
As for me, staying at the university dorimitory is an ideal choice because of two main
reasons.
First, it will be more convenient and effictive for him study. He don’t have to waste time
travelling to campus as when staying at a relative’s house or renting a house with friends.
He can also get accessed to study facilities such as library or computer labs much more
easily. Second, staying at the university dorimitory will help him to enjoy his student life
to the fullest. There are many fun activities on campus which students staying at a
relative’s house or renting a house with friends may find it harder to participate in. He
can also build a larger network of friends because many students live in the dormitory. By
contrast, staying at a relative’s house or renting a house with friends will involve
commuting to college, wich makes it harder for him to utilize campus facilities or take
part in all the activities organized at university. In conclusion, staying at the university
dorimitory is the best option for him
