WARM-UP

1
a.My family lives in a well-furnished house, which
my parents bought around a decade ago. Over the
years, it has gone through a wide variety of changes
such as different interior designs, different
furniture, different wall colors and materials but
many beautiful memories were made in this lovey-
dovey home. ( out of topic )
b.Actually, there are not a lot of public facilities
around my neighborhood, and the closest park and
library are at least 5kms away from where I live,
which would take about 5-7 minutes depending on
what means of transport you choose. The park is
also usually crowded with people because they
have the place to free their mind after tiring and
stressful working hours.
c.To be honest, my neighborhood is really worth
living in because accommodates your needs to the
fullest. You want something to eat ? There are
dozens of food stores with a huge variety of food
that you could go for. You thirsty ? The local
convenience stores are always welcome with open
arms. Furthermore, the friendliness and willingness
to help of the people around here will make you
feel like home.
d.my neighborhood environment is quite clean
since there are lots of “ green spaces “ and the
civilians also grow loads of trees just to make sure
that the air won’t be heavily polluted. In addition to
planting more trees, this will definitely generate
health benefits and help us avoid serious health
problems such as: high blood pressure, heart
disease,…

So, when it comes to naturall environment, my
city‘s Central Park, which is located right in the
heart of Haiphong, has never failed to interest me . I
visit this park quite frequently, at least a couple of
times a month, and I often go there with my family
and close friends.
In the midst of the bustling and overwhelming city’s
lifestyle, the park seems like a hidden gem. It covers
a vast area with well-maintained lawns, colorful
flowerbeds, and a wide variety of trees, some of
which are quite old and majestic. There are also
many pathways that lead you through the park, and
you can find benches and shaded areas where you
can relax and enjoy the peacefulness.
What I particularly love about this park is the
soothing atmosphere. It's a place where you can
escape the noise and chaos of city life and immerse
yourself in nature's beauty. The air feels fresher,
and the sound of birds chirping is a delightful
change from the constant honking of horns on the
crowded streets.
The park also has a lovely fountain at its center,
where you can just find a seat and witness the
beautiful water show in great pleasure.
The reason I like to visit the city’s central park so
much is because it provides a perfect blend of
relaxation and recreational activities. Whether it's
having a picnic with my family, going for a jog with
friends, or simply sitting by the fountain and reading
a book, this park has something for everyone. It's a
place where I can free my mind, connect with
nature, and create wonderful memories with loved
ones. In a fast-paced city like ours, the park is a true
sanctuary, and I cherish every moment I spend
there.
