1. First of all , I want to tell about the reason why I choose this topic, Actually my family and
most of my acquaintaince are city dweller ,we were born and grew up in Ha Noi – one of the
biggest city in Viet nam, so I think I may thoroughly understand about life in city.

2. In my opinion , life in a big city always like a double-edged sword because it has pros and
cons. Every year, there are lots of visitors coming to Ha Noi for many well-known
destinations such as : Thang Long Imperial Citadel , The Temple of Literature, Co loa
Citadel…so on . Not only be Ha Noi attractive for man-made places , but it also makes
people impressed by natural features like Guom lake, West lake , Tram mountain,….Beside
that, capital of Viet Nam also has a great number of local specialities . For example , Bun Cha
Banh mi, Com, cha cuon, banh cuon….People in here is famous for being so easy – going,
friendly and hospitable. Living condition in Ha Noi is higher than most city in Viet Nam so it
is more convenient for demand of entertainment , accommodation, transportation . However,
it is allowed residents to maintain a comfortable lifestyle . In contrary, there are existing
many drawbacks at the moment . For example , water pollution, noise pollution, , exhaustion
of natural resources …..especially ,air pollution. Like many other rapidly developing cities,
Ha Noi has dense population which results in traffic jam during peak hours.
3. In short , after taking all these factors into consideration, Ha Noi is still worth living , be a
memorable tourist destination.

Exercise 8. Read the following passage and circle the correct answer to each of the questions
The value of friendship
Recent research into the world of teenagers has suggested that they value friendship above
everything else. Children aged between 12 and 15 were asked what was important to them. Their
answers included possessions such as money and computer gadgets but also relationships with
people. The teenagers questioned said that friends were the most important to them, more even than
family, or boyfriends and girlfriends.
We wanted to find out more about the results of this research so we asked our readers what they
thought about the value of friendship. Here are some examples of what they said about their friends:
Ben, 15:
Every time I have a fight with my parents, I need some time on my own. But after that, the first
thing I do is meet up with my friends. After playing football for a while, or skateboarding, I usually
feel much happier again.
Rory, 13:
When I moved to a village in the countryside, I thought that it would be the end of my friendships.
But my old friends have kept in touch>< lose contact and they come and visit during the holidays.
There’s a lake nearby, so we often go sailing, water-skiing or windsurfing. And I have made some
new friends here too, at school, and since I joined the rugby club.
Carlos, 11:
Last year, I broke my arm on a skiing holiday. Unfortunately=unluckily, it was my left arm and I am
left-handed. My school friends all helped and copied their notes for me.
It seems that our readers value their friendships very highly. From what they told us, they spend a
lot of time with their friends, just hanging out, or sharing hobbies and interests. They seem to need
their friends for advice, help, chats, and for having fun. Clearly, friends make each other feel better.
Looking at what our readers told us, the results of the recent research are not really surprising.
