KHANG' blog

1/ Read Khang's blog. Look at the words in the box, then find them in the text and underline
them. What do they mean?

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.
