1. Where are u from?

I was born and raised in Haiduong – a beautiful city in Vietnam but now I live in Hanoi for my
university education
2. Is it suitable for young people to live in?
Well, I don’t my hometown is a good place for young people to live in. It is because
educational institution here is not good and it’s hard for young people to find a well-paid job
in my hometown.
3. Is there any way your hometown could be made better?
Yes, definitely. It is easy to see that it lacks many recreational facilities in my hometown.
When I was a kid, I had to be at home and watched TV because I didn’t know what to play. I
wish the government would invest in some facilities like parks or mega malls to solve this
problem
