City life is full of advantages and disadvantages. There are a lot of advantages of living in a city. The people who live in cities enjoy some special facilities and comforts unlike the village people. Their houses are modern, streets are well-lighted. They can go shopping and buy everything they need. In case of sickness they can avail the treatment of best doctors. Moreover, they can receive education in schools, colleges and universities of high standard. They can also visit libraries, parks, museums and so on to stimulate their minds. But city life has some drawbacks too. The fast life, the foul and smoky weather and dirty atmosphere cause health problem. Last but not the least city life is more or less artificial and monotonous. It has no touch with nature whatsoever.

Surely everyone is familiar with the name Hanoi is a dear capital, where I was born and raised. Hanoi has many beautiful landscapes but my favorite is West Lake. That's where I and many tourists come here are surprised. At dawn, the sun shines on the sea like a beautiful pink shirt. Each passing wind stirred the willows. The lake surface is also excited. Young girls with ao dai are posing for a good photo! I love and am proud of my beloved homeland!

Dịch tiếng việt:

Chắc hẳn ai cũng quen thuộc với cái tên Hà Nội là thủ đô thân yêu, nơi tôi sinh ra và lớn lên. Hà Nội có nhiều thắng cảnh đẹp nhưng em thích nhất là Hồ Tây. Đó là điều mà tôi và nhiều du khách đến đây không khỏi ngạc nhiên. Lúc bình minh, ánh nắng mặt biển như khoác lên mình một chiếc áo hồng tuyệt đẹp. Từng cơn gió thoảng qua làm xao xuyến những hàng liễu. Mặt hồ cũng náo nhiệt. Các cô gái trẻ với áo dài đang tạo dáng chụp ảnh đẹp! Em yêu và tự hào về quê hương yêu dấu!
