Visiting Family in My Hometown
Mar 29, 2022
Vy Nguyễn
Hi, everyone! Sorry didn't post anything last week I couldn't use my computer because wasn't at home.
I visited my family in my hometown. It's a small village in the country, about 200 kilometers from Ho Chi Minh City. My
hometown is very different from the city. It's smaller, and it's much more traditional.
Here, the kids never play computer games, and they rarely watch TV. They prefer to play outdoors. They play sports and folk
games. The girls love to jump rope and pick flowers. The boys love to play tug of war and soccer. I often play with the kids
here, but I don't like to run around during the day because the weather is usually so sunny and hot.
I prefer to play chess because it's more relaxing than some folk games. My uncle and I sometimes sit down and play it under a
tree.
