 Tokyo is a famous city. There are a few good buildings and impressive temples; there are a few parks worth visiting. Everything has to be small in Tokyo: houses, rooms, shops.

 Tokyo at nights is a very different place from Tokyo in daytime. Millions of neon lights are switched on and nowhere in the world is more attractive.

 A towm is not its buildings alone; it is an atmosphere, its pleasure, its sadness, its madness, and above all its people. Tokyo may lack architectural beauty but is has character and excitement; it is alive. I found it a mysterious and lovable city.

Tạm dịch:

Tôi cảm thấy may mắn vì tôi đang sống trong một ngôi làng yên bình ở miền Nam Việt Nam. Cảnh vật ở đây đẹp như tranh vẽ với những cánh đồng bạt ngàn trải dài tít tắp. Những ngôi nhà được cây xanh bao quanh. Có nhiều hồ, ao và kênh ở khắp hơi. Không khí trong lành và mát mẻ. Cuộc sống ở đây dường như diễn ra chậm hơn trên thành phố. Mọi người làm việc chăm chỉ. Họ trồng rau, cấy lúa và chăn nuôi gia súc. Vào mùa thu hoạch, họ sử dụng máy gặt đập liên hợp để thu hoạch nông sản. Nhiều gia đình sống bằng cách trồng cây ăn quả trong vườn. Những người khác sống bằng cách đi câu cá trong các hồ ao và kênh. Cuộc sống ở vùng quê rất thoải mái cho trẻ con. Chúng chơi những trò chơi truyền thống. Thi thoảng, chúng giúp bố mẹ bằng cách đi hái trái cây và đi chăn gia súc.

Những người trong làng tôi biết nhau rất rõ. Họ rất thân thiện và hiếu khách. Họ thường gặp nhau vào mỗi buổi tối, ăn trái cây, chơi cờ, hát dân ca và nói chuyện về những hoạt động hằng ngày.
