A new shopping mall is opening in Nam’s neighborhood today. It is very different from the present
shopping area. All the shops are under one roof. That will be very convenient, especially during the hot
and humid summer months. Customers will shop in comfort and won’t notice the weather.
Some people in the neighborhood, however, are not happy about the changes. The owners of the
small stores on Tran Phu Street think the mall will take their business. Some of the goods in the new
stores will be the same as the ones in the small shops, but the stores in the mall will offer a wider

Living in the country is something that people from the city often dream about. However, in reality, it has both its advantages and disadvantages.
There are certainly many advantages to living in the country. First of all, you can enjoy peace and quiet. Moreover, people tend to be friendlier and more open. A further advantage is that there is less traffic, so it is safer for young children.
However, there are certain drawbacks to life outside the city. Firstly , because there are fewer people, you are likely to have fewer friends. In addition, entertainment is difficult to find, particularly in the evening. Furthermore, the fact that there are fewer shops and services means that it is harder to find work. As a result , you may have to travel a long way to work, which can be extremely expensive.
In conclusion, it can be seen that the country is more suitable for some people than others.On the whole , it is often the best place for those who are retired or who have young children. In contrast , young, single people who have a career are better provided for in the city.
