It’s a coastal city named Nha Trang which is considered as a sprawling city. It’s quite compact and you could walk across the city in a couple of hours but actually, there’s no need to do that as we have a fantastic public transport system so it’s easy to get around.
I visited this peaceful city 1 year ago when I was on my summer holiday to dispel the extreme heat of the sun. I came along the sandy beach to enjoy the fresh air of the wind and the salty taste of sea water. I felt all my daily stress and hardness set aside. I also dropped by some upmarket shops and chain stores in the centre but only for window shopping. Pavement cafes everywhere surprised me most where I could take a cup of cafe whenever I wanted.
I am definitely keen on living in this city due to many reasons. Firstly, it is such a worth-living city because of its peace, cleanliness and beauty. I can see the colorful lifestyle of Nha Trang people. Secondly, this charming city attracts a lot of foreign visitors, so I can learn many things from them.
I think that if I have a chance, I will definitely try to live in this city for some years before settling down in Ha Noi capital.

I love traveling and exploring new places. Today, I’m going to talk about a foreign city I wish to visit. It’s London, the capital of United Kingdom. Since London is about 7000 km from my hometown, the only viable modes of transport to reach there are water and air. If I were to choose between these two modes, I’d prefer a flight because it’ll take less time as compared to a cruise. From safety and economic points of view as well, I think going by air is definitely the better option.
Talking about the time when I’ll go to London, I haven’t yet decided, maybe in summer this year. I don’t know who I’d take with me but it would probably be some people that are close to me, I feel that visiting a new place is more fun if you’re with your family or friends. I’ll have a word with my parents and friends, whoever wants to come with me is welcome.
Coming to the many reasons why I want to visit London, I guess the main reason would be my fascination with history and art. You see, London is one of the oldest multicultural cities in the world. I’ve read about the changes which transformed this city into a center of history, art, business, and education through many of its conquests of the world. And thus, London is home to world-class museums and art galleries, all having a different and unique story behind them.
Other than that London also happens to have the oldest underground railway system in the world. To visit the most popular tourist attractions of London has been on my bucket list for a long time. These include the London Bridge, National Art Gallery, and the British Museum. I’ve heard that the bakeries in London are some of the best out there. I’d love to see what they have to offer.
Hope that ya study well^^

Exercise 1. Read the description of Hồ Chí Minh City. Which words in the THINK! exercise are in the text?

Hồ Chí Minh City is in the south of Việt Nam. It's got a population of about 9,000,000 in 2019. It's very modern and the people are really friendly. There are many good amusement parks, shopping malls and buildings here. Vũng Tàu, Phan Thiết and Đà Lạt are some quite nice places not far from Hồ Chí Minh City. I sometimes visit these cities for holidays, but Hồ Chí Minh City is more interesting.
In the text there are words: amusement parks, shopping malls, buildings.

Tạm dịch bài đọc:
Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh nằm ở phía nam của Việt Nam. Nó có dân số khoảng 9.000.000 vào năm 2019. Nó rất hiện đại và người dân thực sự thân thiện. Có rất nhiều công viên giải trí, trung tâm mua sắm và các tòa nhà tốt ở đây. Vũng Tàu, Phan Thiết và Đà Lạt là một số địa điểm khá đẹp cách thành phố Hồ Chí Minh không xa. Tôi thỉnh thoảng đến thăm những thành phố này vào những ngày nghỉ, nhưng Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh thì thú vị hơn.

In the world there are many big cities but the one I like the most is Tokyo, in Japan. This city is the capital of Japan. Not only that, but Tokyo is also an administrative center of Japan and the world. Tokyo is considered a culinary paradise, where you will enjoy dishes from popular to high-end dishes. One of them is Sushi - a famous traditional dish of Japan that the whole world knows is also produced from this city, especially exploring Ebisu with grilled meat, vegetables, hot pot, sashimi … At the same time, many dishes in the train station area are very convenient for passengers at the station as well as nearby. Explore the many other dishes in the basement or head to Honoji to find food from the menu on the wall. In addition to the domestic food, in Tokyo you can enjoy other dishes from other countries such as America, France, Germany ... In addition to eating, Tokyo is also a place to shop with cheap and affordable items to types of high-class products with famous brands in the world. In addition, in Tokyo there is a Japanese crab symbol, which is the Tokyo Tower. At Tokyo Tower, there is a long view of the city at the top of the tower, there are souvenirs and food shops located inside. And there is a famous one in Tokyo that is "sakura"-the cherry blossoms, the cherry blossom trees blooming all over the streets look beautiful, right? I like Tokyo very much, someday in the future, I will go to Tokyo
