Part 1

1. Where is your hometown?


My hometown is in BD Province, located in the southern part of Vietnam. It’s not far from
Ho Chi Minh City, so it’s quite convenient to travel between the two places. Despite being
close to a major city, it still retains a peaceful and laid-back atmosphere.
2. Is that a big city or a small place?
It’s a relatively small city compared to major cities like Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City. It’s
growing, but it still feels more like a small town where everyone knows each other. The size
makes it easy to get around, and there’s not as much traffic or noise as in bigger cities.
3. Please describe your hometown a little.
My hometown is a charming blend of old and new, with traditional houses next to
modern buildings. It’s surrounded by green spaces, small rivers, and parks, which make it a
pleasant and relaxing place to live. The people are friendly, and there’s a strong sense of
community, which makes it feel very welcoming.
4. How long have you been living there?
I’ve been living there since I was a little girl, so it’s all I’ve ever really known. Growing up in
this small city has given me a strong sense of belonging and many fond memories. I’ve seen
it change over the years, but it still feels like the same hometown to me.
5. Do you think you will continue living there for a long time?
Yes, I believe I will continue living there for a long time. I enjoy the quiet pace of life and
the familiarity of the surroundings, which make me feel at ease. Even though I sometimes
think about living in a bigger city, I know this is where I feel most at home.
6. Do you like your hometown?
Yes, I really like my hometown because it’s a place where I feel comfortable and
connected. The slow pace of life and friendly atmosphere make it a great place to relax and
enjoy life. It’s not perfect, but it has a special charm that I appreciate.
7. Do you like living there?
I enjoy living in my hometown because it’s peaceful and not as crowded as big cities. The
cost of living is also lower, which makes life less stressful. Plus, being close to my family and
friends is something that I truly value.
8. What do you like about your hometown?
What I like most about my hometown is the sense of community. People are always
willing to help each other, and you often see neighbors chatting and kids playing outside. I
also love the green spaces, which provide a nice escape from the daily hustle and bustle.
9. Is there anything you dislike about it?
One thing I dislike about my hometown is the lack of entertainment and cultural
attractions. There aren’t many places to go for fun, like shopping malls, cinemas, or tourist
spots. Sometimes it feels like there’s not much to do, especially for younger people looking
for excitement.
10. What is your hometown famous for?
My hometown is famous for its industrial sector, which includes several factories and
manufacturing plants. It’s a hub for local industry and plays a significant role in the
economy of the region. This industrial growth has helped improve the local standard of
living and provides many job opportunities for residents.
Part 2: Talk About Your Hometown

My hometown is a small city located in the BD Province of Vietnam, about an hour's drive
from Ho Chi Minh City. It’s not as large or developed as the major cities, but it has its
unique charm. The city is surrounded by lush green areas, small lakes, and a few rivers,
which make the environment quite pleasant. It’s a mix of urban and rural elements, with a
growing number of new buildings alongside traditional houses and old streets.

One of the things that stand out about my hometown is the strong sense of community.
People here are very friendly and welcoming; it’s common to see neighbors chatting with
each other or helping one another out. This creates a warm and comforting atmosphere,
which I think is a big reason why so many people enjoy living here.

In terms of lifestyle, life here is much slower and more relaxed compared to big cities.
There aren’t many entertainment venues or shopping malls, so people often spend their
free time at local cafes, visiting family, or enjoying the outdoors. This lack of attractions can
sometimes make it feel a bit dull, especially for young people who might crave more
excitement. However, I personally appreciate the calmness and simplicity, as it provides a
good balance to the hectic pace of modern life.

I’ve lived here since I was a little girl, so I have a deep connection to the place. Growing up
in this environment has shaped who I am today, and I have many fond memories of my
childhood, from playing with friends on quiet streets to celebrating festivals with my
neighbors. Although I occasionally dream of experiencing life in a bigger city, I know that
my heart will always belong to my hometown.

Looking ahead, I think it’s likely that I will continue to live here for a long time. There’s a
comfort in being surrounded by familiar faces and places, and I feel that it’s a great place to
raise a family. Despite its shortcomings, like the lack of major attractions, my hometown
has a lot of heart, and that’s what I love most about it.
Part 3

1. How easy is it to find a place to live in your country?


Finding a place to live in Vietnam depends on the area. In big cities like Hanoi or Ho Chi
Minh City, it can be quite challenging and expensive due to high demand. However, in
smaller towns and rural areas, it's much easier and more affordable to find housing.

2. Do you think it's better to rent or to buy a place to live in?


It really depends on your living standards and financial situation. If you have the means,
buying a house is a good investment and provides a sense of stability. However, renting can
be a better option for those who need flexibility, especially young people who are just
starting their careers.

3. Do you agree that there is a right age for young adults to stop living with their parents?
I think it varies from person to person. Some people are ready to live independently in
their early twenties, while others might stay with their parents longer due to financial
reasons or cultural expectations. There isn't a strict right age; it really depends on the
individual's circumstances.

4. Why do people have a very strong bond with their hometown?


People often feel deeply connected to their hometown because it's where they have their
roots, family, and early memories. It shapes their identity and gives them a sense of
belonging, no matter where they go in life.

5. Which affects a person's personality more, the hometown or the current city?
I believe the hometown has a greater impact on a person's personality because it's where
they spent their formative years. The values, traditions, and experiences from one's
hometown often stay with them for life, even if they live elsewhere later on.
