My Neighbourhood

I'm Minh, and I live in the suburbs in Hai Phong. The streets are wide and clean, with tall trees and colourful flowers. The houses are modern and have large gardens. My neighbours are very friendly and always greet each other with a smile.

There is a park nearby where children play and families enjoy picnics at weekends. I sometimes go there in the afternoon with my family to relax. A small lake in the park makes the area even more beautiful. We also have a cafe next to the park that opens at night.

The neighbourhood is safe and peaceful with little traffic. In the evening, people take walks with their pets. I love my suburban neighbourhood because it is lovely and beautiful. It is the perfect place to live.
