PRODUCTION

5 Work in pairs. discuss the following questions.

PRODUCTION
I prefer to live in Ha Noi at present because I
like the modern facilities. Getting around in
Ha Noi is very convenient nowadays.

I prefer to live in Ha Noi in the past. For me,
Ha Noi in the past was more peaceful and
quieter than Ha Noi at present. It was also
safer to get around because people mainly
went on foot or by bicycle.
