My name's Nam. I live with my parents in Ho Chi Minh City, a very big city in Vietnam. There are a lot of people living here, so it is very crowded and noisy. It also has lots of high building. Life in this city is more exciting than life in my hometown.

During summer holidays, my parents and I often go back to our hometown, Nghe An.

It is central Vietnam. It is smaller than Ho Chi Minh City. Life here is more quiet than life in the city because there are not so many people and much traffic. I think that living in the countryside is easier than living in a big city because things are cheaper and people are friendly.

Hello, my name is John. I live in an apartment in New York, the USA. It is a big city. It has got a lot of high buildings, supermarkets, banks and stores. There is much traffic and there are often traffic jams at rush hours. It is very noisy here. But I enjoy living here because everything is exciting and attractive to me.

         Hi. My name is Kate. I am John’s elder cousin. I live in a village in the suburbs of Canberra, Australia. It is quieter than New York. It hasn’t got many shops, supermarkets or restaurants. There are some farms around my house. You can see a lot of sheep and kangaroos on the farms. There are not many people, but they are friendly. I prefer to live in the countryside because I enjoy the fresh air and the peaceful life here.
