I live in Thaibinh from an old village, a lot of fields and a river


flowing , that river is diem ho river. I live with my family: parents
and brother. But now I study in HN so I currently reside at my aunt's
house. Maybe when I graduate from university, I will go out to live.
The room that I like the most in my house is the bedroom. When I'm
exhausted, I'll return to my comfortable bed. I extremely like in
countryside because living in the countryside is very comfortable,
free and unrestricted. There is plenty of fresh air, and you may go to
the gym every morning. While the city is a bustling area that is
beneficial to people seeking economic development, it is not a healthy
place to live because it is dirty, crowded, and cramped. I definitely
prefer living in a house than living in an apartment because living in
a spacious house is more comfortable. One thing I dislike about my
hometown is the lack of entertainment; it's just boring.
