1 Listen and read.
Tom:
Hi Mi, I'm back from Da Lat now. I have some local specialities for you.
Mi:
Thanks Tom. I guess you and your family had a great time there.
Tom:
Yeah. We visited LangBiang Mountain, and Cu Lan Village. We saw a gong show in the evening.
Mi:
What did you do on LangBiang Mountain?
Tom:
We rode a jeep to the top. It was a thrilling ride up there. Then we took an eco-tour of LangBiang
Mountain. They said that the area is rich in flora and fauna with more than 150 plant and animal species.
Mi:
Sounds amazing! What did you do then?
Tom:
We took pictures of the magnificent scenery. It was really enjoyable!
Mi:
Then did you explore Cu Lan Village?
Tom:
Yes. We had a brilliant tour around the village. We also rode horses and a jeep along a stream.
Mi:
That must have been exciting, Tom.
Tom:
It definitely was. In the evening we saw an interesting gong show. We danced and sang with the locals.
And we tried grilled pork. It was a really memorable evening. I'll show you some pictures I took there.
Mi:
Cool!
