Hi, everyone! Sorry I didn't post anything last week! I couldn't use my computer
because I 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. What are your
favorite activities?
