2. Life in modern cities truly causes a lot of nuisances. In the first place, citizens have to deal with traffic congestion every day. This problem is even worse in the rush hour when so many people run out to work and are stuck on streets for hours. Next, high cost of living is also a serious issue in the city, especially in metropolitan cities. More and more people find it difficult to live on their modest salaries when prices are going up all the time. Financial pressure makes city dwellers become constantly stressed and tired. Finally, the polluted air caused by exhaust emissions from millions of vehicles, construction dust and the lack of green trees negatively affects residents’ health. Many people suffer from respiratory problems such as cough, sore throat or asthma. Indeed, city life brings a number of difficulties as well as challenges to its citizens.

Dear Phuc,
I am feeling very unhappy. Can you give me some help?
I have arrived in Vietnam for 3 months but I still don’t have any friends. I have tried very hard to make friends at school but people don’t like to talk to me. I don’t know why. People here are so different from the people we can find in Hong Kong. I don’t know how I can make friends and whom I can make friends with.
You are always a very popular student at school. Can you tell something about the ways I can make friends? Whom I can make friends with? Where can I make more friends? Please give me some advice.
Love,
S.O
