MY NEIGHBOURHOOD
I live in the suburbs of Da Nang City. There are many things I like
about my neighbourhood.
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. The people here are friendlier, and
the food is better than in other places.
However, there are two things I dislike about it: there are many
modern buildings and offices; and the streets are busy and crowded.
