MY NEIGHBOURHOOD
I’m back home now. Hoi An was great! My neighborhood’s very different. It’s in the suburbs of Da Nang City. There are many things I like about it.
It’s great for outdoor activities because it has beautiful parks, sandy beaches, and fine weather. There’s almost everything I need here: shops, restaurants, and markets. Every house has a backyard and a frontyard. The people here are incredibly friendly. They’re friendlier than those in many other places! And the food’s very good.
However, there is one thing I dislike about it. Now, there are many modern buildings and offices so the streets are busy and crowded during the day.
Can anyone write about what you like and don’t like about your neighborhood?
