1.I like living in the countryside because of some reasons. Environmentally speaking, it is a peaceful place. The air is fresh. The space is quiet. We can enjoy healthy natural conditions without worrying much about environmental pollution. As for social security, the countryside is a safer place than a city. While urban security situation is always complicated with all kinds of crimes, rural areas are much more secure because most of countrymen are friendly and ready to help one another. Moreover, rural life is also easier that in cities. People in cities are easy to get stressed because of pollution, job pressures, competitions, etc ... On the contrary, those bad things are very rare in the countryside. To sum up, except income matters, the countryside is a better residence than cities.

2.I live in the suburbs of Nha Trang city. There are many good things about living in my neighbourhood. First, it has beautiful parks, sandy beaches, and sunny weather all year. So, it's very good for outdoor activities and events. Second, the traffic here is also great because the roads are wide and people follow the traffic lights very well. Also, my neighbours are incredibly friendly and helpful. You can make friends with them and ask them for help easily. However, there is one thing I don't like about living here. It's quite inconvenient because if you want to hear some live music or watch a movie at the cinema, you have to catch a bus to the city centre. Despite that, I still love living here.

3.English is my favorite subject and also the one that I am good at, so many of my friends had asked me about the way to learn it properly. There is no compulsory method to study English, but each person has to find the suitable one in order to study it efficiently. I had discovered some of my own secret to learn it, and I had a big improvement since then. One of my hobbies is reading, and I choose English books to read in order to improve both my vocabulary and grammar. I read about the history, culture of England and the United States, novels of famous authors, and English news, all of them help me to gain a lot of new words as well as general knowledge. Besides, I never lose my interest in learning English because I know how to combine studying and entertaining. Instead of learning by hearts all the new words in boredom, I listen to English songs, watch English movies and try to translate the lyrics as well as the subtitle. By doing that, I know more about the different and the same things between English and Vietnamese, and it helps me to use English properly in each certain situation. I also connect with some international friends, and they are the best teacher to teach me about English. I can learn some slang, idioms, and things that normal teachers do not teach their students. Besides, my confidence in speaking English also increases since I spend time to talk on the phone with them. I feel that I have made more positive changes since I had my very own ways to learn English, and that is the reason why I think each of us should be creative in learning it.

4.My best friend in high school is Lan. Lan sits next to me in class, eats with me at break time, and hangs out with me after school. She has long and beautiful hair; my mother always says that I need to pay more attention to my hair so it can be pretty as hers. I am good at English while Lan is excellent in Math, therefore we can help each other every time one of us has trouble in understanding those subjects. Besides our study, Lan is always by my side whenever I feel upset. I tell her everything, and only her can know my true feelings. We have been best friends since our young age, and I will keep this friendship forever.
