Hi, everybody! My name is Lam. I am in grade 6. I live with my parents and my elder sister in the city center. My house is on Cau Giay Street. It's a little small but there is a big garden behind it. We grow a lot of vegetables and flowers there. There is also a yard in front of my house. That's the place where my sister and I often play badminton after school.

Near my house, there is a park where my sister and I often go for a walk on weekends. Next to the park, there is a big lake. To the left of my house, there is a bookstore. My sister goes there every day because she loves reading. There is also a restaurant opposite my house. It's between the bakery and the drugstore. To the right of the bakery, there is a movie theater and there is a toy store behind it. There are many big trees on our street. In the neighborhood, there is a factory, a stadium and a hospital.
