My childhood is associated with Cu Chi Park, which is where my grandmother used to take me after the afternoons I came home from school. It was a place where many beautiful memories were left, I was able to walk by my hand, to eat my favorite snacks. When I grow up, my friends and I go to eat and watch movies, where my favorite movie is cgv at Pandora Truong Chinh, which is very close to my school so I can go and have fun with friends. the group. My favorite place to eat is a snack area located in District 5. The places I set foot in also leave a lot of deep impression on me, each place has its own interesting but the place makes me flutter. Most whenever I mentioned that it was Cu Chi park, every time I walked across the park, I felt very miss my grandmother.Although she was no longer there, I often visited the park in my spare time to remember her.

I love drinking coffee everyday with my family or my friends. In the past i love drinking coffee in some famous places like StarBucks, The Coffee House, Trung Nguyen Legend, and so on. These are the best places for young generations to get there with some his or her friends to drink coffee, have some talks with each other, do some homeworks together, and so on. I love these places because the coffee in these places are very good, it's always have a nice views for all of us to take pictures, the air- conditions of these places always very cool, it's very comfortable and private. Nowadays, the coffee places where i drink coffee with my friends or my family is peaceful, have beatiful street views, with or without air-conditions with some old and hot music around the world like V-Pop, US-UK, K-Pop,... There is a big different in the past and the present about the coffee places where i always drink it with my friends or my family is peaceful space, less moisy, have beautiful street views and some famous, hot music in the world.

I often go to stalls related to detox such as: i love detox, healthy with detox,.. etc. It is the place where my family used to go every spare time. In addition, I have some appointment with my friends when I have a job or talk, etc. But, now I go to stalls milk tea, fastfood more than before. Because, i'm far away from my family so most of the free  time I just go with friends to food, milk tea, singer and make project.

Question 1

I'm a person who love football so the place that is special to me is absolutely the football field. I spent the most of time at there  because it's peaceful place and have time to play with my friends after the stressful class. Playing football make me feel healthy and happy, I also make a lot of friends by playing this sport. In my opinion, the place that is very different from my special place is the bar club. I don't mean to judge but I think that is a noisy and maybe that is not a healthy place in some ways such as : its cost a lot of money or its can make you get into trouble with the police.

1. I usually go to the stadium in my city, it is a large wide and peaceful one. I always hang out with my best friends in there, it's like a place we must go in when me and my friends gathered around. We can play poker on the ground, bring food and drink, sitting together and talk about things.For me, It is the very special place through my whole high school life. When I go to Ho Chi Minh city there is no such stadium like that, it's more crowded , instead of sittting wherever we want, i need to find chair, it's more modern but boring for me.

The most favorite part in the reading “The poet of the outback” is paragraph I. It concerns about Paterson’s poems and his romantic vision of the outback. Because it is a good paragraph to show Australia’s national identity. Paterson’s poems and stories are his erratic fancy to temporary leave reality life. It lets him contrasting free life in the bush with life in the crowded and busy city. Nowadays, Australian still can enjoy and proud of it.

My hometown is Quy Nhon city which I really like and have many wonderful things in this place. I hope that myself have lots of free time to enjoy a variety foods as well as go to the beach with my family. More importantly, QN city is a quite peaceful and fresh air place. As a result, it is one of specific place which is different with other such as HCM city. For example, if you want to eat seafood, definitely, QN city will bring for you have specific things a lots and even you can enjoy the amount of breathtaking view to serve tourist come to visiting in this place. However, in HCM city is a very large place and it will have all of things, in order to enjoy fresh air is actually hard to everyone. Therefore, QN city also is a place which i am feeling a sense of fulfillment and relaxtion better.

My hometown, Tien Giang, is really special to me because this is the place to store all the most beautiful childhood memories of me. When I was little, I used to fly kites with my cousin, catch cicadas to make cakes and pick lotus flowers every summer. Recently, I haven't have time and chance to do these things any more. However, that is always the only place can make me feel peaceful and happy, feel the warmth of a big family and know how to share love to each other. In my opinion, workplace is completely different from my special place. I don't have anything to memorize, I just have to work and work and overwork makes me stress. At there, there is no love, no sharing, no sympathy, just only envy and rivalry.

1. As long as I can remember, I'm a very energetic person. I could never stand still in the house and my parent wasn't a fan of that. Luckily, my house was close to Le Van Tam Park. It is my favorite place to be at, I could exercise there whenever I want or maybe join in with the adults for their routine yoga sessions. Opposite to this feeling of freedom, a place that I hate, is school. Whereas, people just sit still to listen to another person lecturing about something out of the world. Throughout my 12 years of education, I often wish I could vanish from the classroom.

Dalat always the first choice of my family in holiday when i was a child. It is special place with me because my family had many memories in here. I am really impressed by classical houses, cool weather and peaceful place. Unlike Dalat, the climate in Vung Tau is hot almost year differently than the climate in Dalat. In addition, in Vung Tau, the activities of people in daily life take place busily and emthusiactically. Otherwise, Dalat people activities often take place quitely and normally the same climate.

My childhood is probably associated with where I was born, HCMC.  This is where I have the most memories with my family and friends.  For me this is probably the place where I feel the most comfortable and the best.  This is the place that goes with your school days with memories of hanging out with friends, or exploring places with new cuisine in the city.  It is different from the countryside quite a lot about modernity or people and the ambient atmosphere, when in the countryside I can feel the harmony of people here more when in HCMC and the atmosphere is also fresher  But, even though it's a person who likes to go and play, maybe there's no place like where I was born and grew up because only that place makes me feel most comfortable.

In terms of special places, the first thing comes to my mind is American Center library, which is a perfect place for students majoring in English like myself . On a weekly basis, i prefer to study at the library and enjoy its tranquil pace of life there.On the other hand, Boheme Club is also a choice of mine,especially when i want to take my mind of everything and let my hair down.

I am a photographer, so I often spend my free time going to places I like.  Mostly I like going to the park, because it's cool, fresh air and it's a good place to talk together.  Besides the cafe is also one of my options.  The space here is beautifully decorated, colorful and decorated in many ways, creating its own character.  But I still prefer the park, I think it suits me better.
