I like living in the countryside because of some reasons. Environmentally speaking, it is a peaceful place. The air is fresh. The space is quiet. We can enjoy healthy natural conditions without worrying much about environmental pollution.

As for social security, the countryside is a safer place than a city. While urban security situation is always complicated with all kinds of crimes, rural areas are much more secure because most of countrymen are friendly and ready to help one another.

Moreover, rural life is also easier that in cities. People in cities are easy to get stressed because of pollution, job pressures, competitions, etc ... On the contrary, those bad things are very rare in the countryside. To sum up, except income matters, the countryside is a better residence than cities.

My first visit to Nha Trang, the coastal city, was three years ago. It was a pleasant and memorable trip.

Nha Trang, the capital of Khanh Hoa province, has one of the most popular municipal beaches in all of Vietnam. In Nha Trang, nature beauties are so tempting. Waves crashing onto the cliffs; the soft sigh of the sea breeze; clean white sands and turquoise waters; it all makes for a stunning landscapes. On my visit to Nha Trang, I used to get up early each morning to stroll along the beach – a chance to breath in the fresh sea air and enjoy the sunrise across the water. One attraction that captivated me three years ago and still it does is the collection of small offshore islands. Hon Tre is the largest of the islands, and Monkey island is, as the name suggests, the home of hundreds of wild monkeys. Yen island is known for its swifts’ nests.

Nha Trang is the city in hamoney: its fine weather, favorite position and friendly people bring it a cerain balance. Nha Trang is a great holiday destination. I hope to have chance to come back.

Martin Cooper (born December 26, 1928) invented the first handheld cellular mobile phone (distinct from the car phone) in 1973 and led the team that developed it and brought it to market in 1983. He is considered the "father of the (handheld) cell phone" and is also cited as the first person in history to make a handheld cellular phone call in public. His invention is the cell phone which was 23 cm (9 inches) tall and weighed 1.1 kg (2.5 pounds). It allowed 35 minutes of talk before its battery ran down. Thanks to his invention, our life has improved a lot. Nowaday, the cell phone has been modernized completely .

Dear Name ( Eg: Maria Ozawa)

How are you? As you know, last week I travelled to HCM City by plane with my parents. Before I arrived there, I had seen HCM City on Internet. I think it's the most exciting, amazing place I've seen before. When I arrived, the sky changed into black with fewer stars than my city. But it was bright without stars. Do you know why ? Of course that's the light from the lights. The next day, I went to Duc Ba Cathedral which is the symbol of HCM city and it was constructed by French.Actually, it wasn't the only that I met. But I think I should tell you some place where is really well-known. Oh, I also had a great moments in Ben Thanh market. Although I hadn't known anything about that, when I arrrived at Ben Thanh market, I think it's quite attractive. The days after I only prepared to come back.And I think it's the experiment that I had after the trip.

That's what I felt and I knew about HCM City when I was there.

Do you have any trip like that ? And what did you feel about the trip ?

I hope you will send me a letter about what I said on the letter soon !
