    I come from Ben Tre, known as a land of the Coconut. It’s located in the area of Southern Vietnam. Ben Tre is famous for coconut candies, coconut handicraft products as well as tropical fruit orchards. I’ve lived there for about 18 years since I started unversity. Ben Tre is a sleepy place with the fresh air and the green space to relax. It’s small enough that you can get to know your neighbours and have a sense of community. Moreover, the cost of living is quite low, to be honest. I think that’s why I love living in Ben Tre. But sometimes I find it a bit boring because there’s not much nightlife. Ben Tre hasn’t changed much in the last ten years, although there are certainly more and more tourists these days.

      I live in a Patiala it’s a huge city though it’s not the capital city but it’s one of the famous city of Punjab. The city is called as kingdom of king Bhupinder Singh and city is famous for production of fulkari. However it’s a very bustling city. It’s got a very beautiful and happening culture. It’s a city with lots of energy. Only problem we face that winter can be a seriously cold. The city is almost unrecognisable in last many years. It’s expanded so much physically and economically.

    I live in a small town Derabassi. This is near Chandigarh, the capital of Punjab and Haryana in India.This is a very bustling place. The speciality of this place is transportation. It is quite good to live here specially with family. I have been living here from 17 years. I love this place. Shopping facilities are also very good over there. Many parks are maintained there for children as well as for adults. It gives us sense of community because the people who live there are very helpful and believes in unity.

The city has grown drastically due to its commercial value. People come to work here from all over the country. I like to live here because there’s always something going on. Nightlife is quite good and the food streets are open overnight. I think I will not feel relax staying out of my Home city.

    Hi, welcome to my hometown. I Live in Yangon which is the commercial city of Myanmar. I live in downtown in a three room flat on the first floor with my sibling. I love living in Yangon for it's a huge, bustling ang international city. My city is famous for it's landmarks such as Shwedagon, Sule and Botahtaung pagodas. It's a great place to live. There is so much great food everywhere. There is a lot of shopping malls, theraters, sport centers, museums, schools, universities. Yangon is impressive to live, but the living cost is really high. That can be quite stressful. And also air quantity can be an issue, especially, in the summer. It has changed a lot in the 10 years, things are so different now. I love my city and I''ve grown up here since I was a baby.

It has a great blend of cultural and traditions.My favourite places are the beaches which gives you a chance to enjoy the nature. My hometown always welcome the people all round from the county by giving opportunities and sustainable livelihood, however due to this reason my city is overcrowded and traffic is sometimes horrible. This place has changed a quite lot compared last 15 years both in physically and economically.

    I live in a small city of San Pablo. It is 2-3 hours away from Manila which is the capital of the Philippines. It one of the oldest city in my province. It is also called the City of Seven Lakes as it is believed that these marvelous lakes are connected through underwater tunnels though they are quite scattered around the city. I think the life here is quite slow paced as most of the city are composed of agricultural lands and residential areas. Moreover, it has preserved several historical buildings such as the San Pablo Cathedral which is built way back Spanish colonization era that took place a hundred years ago. It may be a fairly developing city however I will never get tired living here because this is where my heart belongs. By that it means being together with my family and friends.

    As I’ve been living here in Venice for many years, I consider it as my hometown. It is a floating city situated in the north of Italy and known for its extraordinary arts and architecture, as well as the quaint maze canals linked by bridges.
    This romantic city is a Unesco world heritage sites that comprises its lagoon, its islands and the S-shaped Grand Canal overlooked by elegand palaces. Famous attractions are the largest square, St. Mark’s square, the Doge’s Palace and other historic buildings.
    Living in Venice really suits me. It feels like I’m living in an ancient time with its facinating churches and art galleries. It’s got such a rich culture and has a sense of history. This is the only city on Earth where tourists can use a boat instead of car where they can take a picture while admiring the breathtaking view.
    As a touristic city, the cost of living is high. That can be quite stressful because you’re always thinking about money and how to make ends meet. Humid can be an issue in particularly in the summer and cabln be exhausting to live.
    You can get to meet other people from different countries but it’s a bit tough to find real friends because tourists just come and leave.
    Venice has changed a lot in the past few years. It’s much less tourists than it used to be due to the outbreak of Covid-19. Most of the establishments are close in this period as well as restaurants and big hotels.
    However, the floating city is still there. It will soon back to normal.

    This is my practice : I live in a small town. It's called An Lac Thon which is one of the smallest towns in Soc Trang city. It's quiet peaceful and fresh. I always walk along the river to relax when i feel stressful after a hard day. It's a beatutiful to live . I have been living since i was 6 years old. Besides, it's also famous for long traditional learning. Most of students are very studious and hard work because they want to develop the town to become a city. Despite the smallest town, it's always one of the best schools in Soc Trang city. Moreover, it's also well-known for Pia cake. Another great thing, people here are friendly and helpful. They always help to each other when they have the problem. You will feel comfortable and happy because they are willing tp guide you or introduce you to a place that you have never seen. However, the thing i dislike the most is that the weather is extremely hot. Even though, the temperature has also gone up 40 degrees in the summer. To sum up, i really enjoy living it. I hope that it will become a place where actracts many tourists to learn this beautiful tradition

    I was born and grew up in Bien Hoa city, one of the biggest industry cities in Vietnam. The city has changed so much in the last twenty years because there were many industries built up and foreign companies invested in. This has attracted huge amount of labor from around the country. Unfortunately, this has caused many problems such as air and water pollution, traffic jam and high living cost. The only real advantage is to have many jobs. It’s not hard to find suitable jobs. And the special thing when mention to Bien Hoa is that there are many beautiful churches. My parents, my sisters and brothers and my family have been living here and All are catholic. I think that’s why I love this city and I can’t imagine living anywhere else.

    I live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This amazing city is between the mountains and sea. I like this city because it has a beautiful blue sky, warm climate and we can see the nature almost every neighborhood. There are many landscapes and the most incredible are Christ the Redeemer, Botanical Garden and the beaches like Barra, Copacabana and Ipanema, however I could make a list with other landmarks include the Tijuca Forest (Tijuca National Park) and their waterfalls. Rio de Janeiro changes a lot last twenty years and this wasn’t good, in my opinion, because it grew up disorganized. Today it is crowded and the public transport don’t operate perfectly. Rio de Janeiro is an incredible city to visit but doesn’t live.

    i'm fond of a tons of things about my hometown. on the top of that, i love the weather. it is cool all year around. that's why whenever being overwhelmed with hectic schedules at work or school, i tend to come back to my hometown to enjoy the pleasant atmostphere here. that way i kinda recharge the energy to start off new challenge.
    however, there is just one thing i'm not into there, you know, job oppotunities. there aren't so much work to do apart from agricuture related jobs. that's why many young people often move away to find their own jobs.

    Hi! I'm learning English with you since a lot of month now. I really like your videos.Your lessons are very interesting, thank you! Below my exercice :
    Folligny is a small village in Normandy. It’s a quiet place in the countryside and it’s near the Mont-Saint Michel, so the surrounding area is quite beautiful and you can easely drive to beaches to relax. I realy like living in Folligny because it’s a quiet place. It’s small enough that my children can bike or walk safety to the playground. But there is no school in the village, it can be a issue for no car families. Folligny has changed a lot since the 2WW. The train station was a strategic place and it was bombed and destroyed three times during the war. The population is aging and many young people are moving here to live but they work and do shopping in the larger cities nearby, so there is no grocery in the village. If you live in Folligny you need a car like many villages in France.

Huong Son is a pretty small village, it’s very famous for its landscapes, especially Huong Pagoda, this is biggest and longest festival in Viet Nam. In the spring, Huong Son become a place extremely bustling because people from over the country come here to attend Huong Pagoda Festival. The rest of seasons in year, my hometown is a sleepy place, air quality is so good, there are a lot of green tree, people is really hard and friendly. Although I love my village so much, sometimes I find it little bit boring because there isn’t much more activities for younger and older, even I feel a bit cut off from the wider world. Nevermind, this place is acctually worth it for me.

      Nice answer! Here are three corrections for you:
      1. When you say 'I've lived there about 18 years...', do you mean that you still live there now, or not? It's not clear from your sentence.
      2. 'College' not 'colleage'.
      3. In spring, Huong Son *becomes an extremely bustling place*...
      Thanks for sharing!

      Thanks for a good answer, Hue! Here are some corrections for you:
      1) Always capitalize 'I' and the first letter of a sentence.
      2) 'In north Vietnam,' not, 'in the north vietnamese'.
      3) 'Friendly neighbors, and pretty sleepy'. Use the plural form 'neighbors' and the adjective 'sleepy'.
      Hope that helps you.

    I was born and grew up in a small village in Phu Tho province located in Northern Vietnam. I really like living in Phu Tho because of its beauty. It's surrounded by many mountains and fields. If you need a break, it can easily drive to the moutains nearby and find a quite place to relax. It's also small enough that you can get to know your neighbours and have a sense of community. People here are so kind and helpful. They're willing to help others whenever someone has trouble so I feel like I'm living in a big family. Phu Tho's nice but I find it a bit boring. There aren't many places to go as well as not much nightlife, sometimes I feel a bit cut off from the wider life. In fact, it doesn't suit the young to live. In addition, it's seriously cold in winter.
    My hometown has changed a lot compared to 20 or 30 years ago. There are more high buildings, factories, schools, and so on instead of rivers and moutains. You can't imagine when you see some old photos of my hometown. Things are so different!

    • @Oxfordonlineenglish1

      3) '...to go and there is not much nightlife...' not, '...to go as well as not much nightlife...'
      Hope this helps you!

    I was born and grew up in Can Tho, one of the fifth city under the Central authorities. Can Tho is located in the Southwest of Vietnam.
    Although Can Tho is not as big and crowded as other cities in Vietnam, but it is the most beautiful and meaningful in my mind.
    Can Tho attracts tourist around the world by its beautiful river, fruitful orchards and the friendliness and hospitality of the people in this city. It is famous for Cai Rang floating market, rice paper making village, Ninh Kieu Wharf, Can Tho Bridge-the longest cable stayed bridge in South East Asia and many many beautiful places.
    The advantages of living in Can Tho are the range of things to do, such as cultural and social activities, and the beautiful parks and river.
    However I need to go somewhere to build my career because there are a few career opportunities here, that’s why I am working in Ho Chi Minh city now.
    Can Tho changed quite a lot in the last 20 years, more and more factories grown up. I think it is developing in a good way.
    Can Tho has always had an important place in me. No matter where I go, I always still remember it.

    I live in Ubonratchathani. It's a big city in the northeastern region of
    Thailand. The city is close to two neighbor countries, Laos and
    Cambodia, so it's got such a rich culture! There are so many Buddhist
    temples around the city center and even in the countryside. People here
    are very kind and helpful. It's a quiet and peaceful city. The living cost here
    is not much expensive as well.

    • @Oxfordonlineenglish1

      Nice answer about your city. Here are some things to think about:
      1) Use the adjective 'neighboring' here, 'The city is close to two neighboring countries...'.
      2) The 'cost of living' not 'living cost'.
      3) '...is not very expensive', not, 'much'.

    I live in Hangzhou, which is on the south east coast of China. It's a huge and bustling city. It's famous for its landmarks such as West lake and Linying Temple. It's also well known for its green tea, what we call dragon well tea, and food, of course. I was born and brought up here so I have lived here all my life. I think it's a great to place to live because it's a real 24 hour city with lots of energies, and there is so much to do. On top of that, it has many beautiful places with natural scenery, so you can easily find somewhere to escape the hustle and bustle and relax. The only downside is that the traffic is extremely busy especially during the rush hours. Air quality can also be an issue particularly in winters. Hangzhou has changed quite a lot as a place in the last 20 years or so. It has expanded tremendously both physically and economically. It is an emerging tech hub and home to the e-commerce giant Alibaba. More and more people are moving here to live and work. Inevitably, the population and cost of living have gone up quite a lot.

    I live in a province called Thai Nguyen, which is quite near from the capital city of Vietnam. It's famous for its landmarks such as Ho Nui Coc. It's also well-known for tea. There are many famous teas in my province. It's a pretty sleepy place, to be honest. I love living Thai Nguyen because, it's a quiet place and It's small enough that you can get to know your's neighbours and have a sense of community. Thai Nguyen is great, but sometimes, I find it a bit boaring. There's not much nightlife and sometimes it feels a bit cut off from the wider world. Thai Nguyen is almost unrecognisable compared to twenty or thirty years ago. The city has expanded so much, both physically and economically. It's amazing when you see old photos of the city; things are so different now!

    I live in Alexandria, it is the first capital of Egypt and the second biggest city in it, it is an amazing city by the Mediterranean Sea which famous with a lot of landmarks from different times like Qaitibay castle, jewels museum, and a lot of ancient mosques and these different landmarks give it an exciting mixture of different cultures. Also it has the most famous library in the world Alexandria library. People come to it from all the world to visit its ancient places. It is a really fantastic bustling city which full of energy, movement and fun 24 hours per day.
    I've been living in it for 15 years. I really excited the sea and used to go to the beach once a week since I was young but unfortunately now I can't go as I'm busy all the time in my work. The only disadvantage of Alexandria is the crowded roads especially in the summer when people out to the beaches, the traffic become very stressful so the quality of air can be an issue . Alexandria has been changed a lot in the last 20 years, it became completely different, many natural places have been replaced by buildings, concrete expanded everywhere surround us , I'm really sad by what it looks nowadays and desire all the time if it back to its interesting old look which I used to see in my photos.

    Ho Chi Minh city ’s an exciting place, but it’s really crowded and it can be sometimes stressful to live there. Traffic jams and air pollution are issues make me exhausted, particularly during rush hours.
    Ho Chi Minh city is the economic center of Vietnam, so it's developed rapidly. It's almost unrecognizable compared to twenty or thirty years ago.

    Many years ago Cairo was a center of region's , political and cultural life. its nick name was "the city of a thousand minarets " because it was contain a lot of Islamic architecture .
    these days Cairo has changed a lot . now there are department store ,shopping centers , cinemas, restaurants , cafes and amusement parks . i love living in Cairo there's always something interesting going on.

I've been living there since I retired for about two years. Living in Marrakech suits me, because a healthy climate, many activities where I can spend time and have fun. Marrakech is a bit stressful by the high cost of living, but I always find how to make ends meet. Marrakech has changed a lot in the last thirty years.

People from different areas come there with their hope to have better life.Hanoi's famous for its landmarks such as the Hoan Kien lake,old quarter,temple of literature,Ho Chi Minh mausoleum,...as well as special delicious foods. I quite like living in Hanoi,because it's got a rich traditional culture for thousands years in records of buillding and holding country process against invaders.There 's always something interesting going on,but it's crowded with lots of people and the transportation is so much heavy that it always gets me in traffic jams.Moreover,the cost of living there is really high, that stressed me a lot.Hanoi has changed a lot in the last 20 years.

    I live in Anand. It's a small city. It's actually located at the centre of the state Gujarat. It's famous for its landmarks such as Amul Dairy and swaminarayan temple. I have been living here for about 15 years. I really like Anand. Because it's a real 24 hours city with lots of energy and there is so much to do. On top of that it has many beautiful places with natural scenery. So you can easily find somewhere to escape the hustle and bustle and relax. The only real disadvantage is that the traffic is extremely busy especially during the rush hours.
    Replay it's right.

      Nice response about your hometown, Ankit. Here are some corrections for you:
      1) '...and Swaminarayan Temple,' not, '... swaminarayan temple'.
      2) 'I really like Anand because it's a...' not, 'I really like Anand. Because it's a...'.
      3) '...a real 24-hour city,' not, '24 hours city'.
      Hope this is useful for you!

    I'm living on a caribbean island . It's a really small island, also is famous because of the big amount of pearls there. It's such a cultural place; it has changed a lot in the last twenty years , now there are more tourist places to visit such as restaurants and hotels. I love living on this island because there's always a good place to go. In August, the island is crowed specially at the beaches (wich are stunning). Is a really nice place to go if you want to be in a quiet area or go to the beach frequently.

    I live in Alexandria,it is a city on the Mediterranean sea coast.Alexandria is considered the second capital of Egypt and one of the biggest ports in it.It was founded by a Greek emperor called Alexander the great before Christ. Alexandria has a wonderful weather and beautiful natural scenes due to its location. A lot of people come from all around the world to enjoy its weather and watch its landmarks.Besides its economical importance,it has a cultural one. Bibliotheca Alexandria is one of the most popular landmarks in Alexandria,it contain different books from different countries in many languages.In fifties Alexandria was a model example for cosmopolitan city, Greeks,Italians ,British and even Syrian people lived in it.Alexandrian people are really humble ,warm and life loving .Many Egyptian artists arose in Alexandria for that reason they prefer holding cultural and artistic events in it in addition to movie shooting.Alexandria is wonderful , I hope that people will visit it and they will never regret this decision.

    • @Oxfordonlineenglish1
      @Oxfordonlineenglish1  8 років тому +30

      Nice answer! I like the details and your vocabulary is good. Here are three language points for you:
      1. 'Alexandria has wonderful weather...' not '...a wonderful weather.'
      2. 'A lot of people come...to see its landmarks,' not '...watch its landmarks.'
      3. '...economic importance' not '...economical importance.'
      Hope this helps!

    I live in Binh Duong province which is a neighbor of Ho Chi Minh city. My hometown is one of the top provinces that has the fastest rate of industrial development in Vietnam. Binh Duong is such a great place to live because it isn't as crowded as Ho Chi Minh city. It also rarely occurs in traffic congestion. On the other hand, there are many workers here, so the security maybe isn't ensured. I think Binh Duong is almost unrecognizable compared to ten years ago. There are so many buildings and luxury residential complexes constructed. The population has increased a lot. Sometimes I feel a little bit overwhelmed by its changes.
    I always want to say that your lesson is rewarding.

    I live in Thai Binh Province, which is a small province lying by the sea of Vietnam .My province is the one of the most beautiful places to pay a visit. There are many green large rice fields that are the most attractive points. If you come to Vietnam and make your own to Thai Binh, you will be surprised with food at there. Thai Binh cuisine is very delicious and tasty.You also feel happy and satisfied by the hospitality of the people living in Thai Binh. The atmosphere is very peaceful and the air is extremely fresh , so you can let your hair down when you come there. On the other hand, there are two disadvantages. The number one drawback in Thai Binh province is the disadvantagous traffic system. But that negative point is being improved . The other is that our province is a little bit sleepy. We don't have many activities to take part in. But, in conclusion, Thai Binh is the ideal place for you to travel.

      3) '...surprised with the food there,' not, '...surprised with food at there'.

    I live in Dalat. It's like Paris in Viet Nam - a romantic city. It's famous for the beauty of the lanscape. Therefore it's a local and tourist atraction. It's also well-known for its food, such as: "banh trang nuong, nem nuong..."
    I really love living in Dalat. Firstly, It's a quite place and it's small enough that you can get to know your neighbors and have a sense of community. Secondly, The atmosphere is so fresh and cool. When I'm tired or stressful with hectic life, I go there to get away from hustle and bustle of my life. Last but not least, it retains original beauty with France architechture, such as: Con Ga Church, Da Lat university. Dalat hasn't changed much as a place in the last 20 years.
    Dalat is great but not easy to live there. It's hard to earn money.It mainly based on tourism. But I definitely give my love to Dalat. The soul of the city is still there. Dalat will always be Dalat"

Before 70 years from now, here was Tonga cart for traveling throughout the town. But overtime people immigrated from different places and forth they started shop businesses and restaurants, it has now become a good living place for people. And it is a close town so it is obvious that you can have sense of community.

    I Live in Bekasi, a bustling city located near Jakarta (The capital city of Indonesia). I've lived in Bekasi for 19 years. Bekasi is famous for its hot weather so people call it Mars of Indonesia. Bekasi is a city
    that has cultural diversity because people from all over Indonesia live there. I quite like living in Bekasi because I can get to know lots of culture. But, living in Bekasi can be really exhausting. It's really crowded and there's always traffic everywhere. Air Quality can be an issue, too. Bekasi has changed so much in the last 15 years. it used to has a lot of rice fields and swamps. But now, they have turned into houses.

    • @Oxfordonlineenglish1
      @Oxfordonlineenglish1  4 роки тому +2

      Hi Lusia, thank you for sharing your response. Here are a few suggestions for you:
      1) 'air quality' is not a proper noun, so 'quality' should not be capitalized.
      2) 'It used to have a lot of...' not, 'it used to has'.
