your neighborhood has changed a lot.

Anyway, do you want to go for a walk? I'll show you
around.
Mark: Fresh air and a walk sound nice. Let's go!

Nam: That's true. There are also new public parks and
people can enjoy more leisure activities. In addition to
the big shopping centre, there is a convenience store
on every corner. And look at our new electric buses!
Do you want to go for a ride?

comfortable!
It's the first time I've been on an electric bus. Getting
around is probably becoming more and more
convenient for local residents.
Nam: Not really. The more crowded the area becomes,
the worse traffic jams get, especially during rush hour.
The cost of living is also going up. These are the changes
that I don't like.

can also cause problems.

Excuse me! Could you help me? I got lost
because the neighbourhood has changed a lot.
Can you show me the way to the nearest
bus stop? It used to be here three years
ago, but I can't find it now.
I guess this is part of the process
of urbanisation. Thank you. You
are so reliable.

What can I do for you?
It was relocated to the corner of Cach
Mang Thang Tam street and Bac Hai
street last year. That place is now a
busy street. Things has changed rapidly.
