HOMETOWN
 
1.
 
(What’s (the name of) your hometown?)
 
I'm from Hue, which is a city in central Vietnam. Talking about Hue, people immediately 
think of the capitals, golden palaces, temples, shrines, and gorgeous dancing stage, 
majestic 
tombs, and ancient meditative landscapes.

(Is that a big city or a small place?)
 
Well, the city is quite small as compared to the 
vast 
cities and provinces in my country. Hue 
city covers just about 70.5 square kilometers, with a total population of 
roughly 
360,000 
people.

(How long have you been living there?)
 
I have been living there ever since I was born, which is 19 years until now. It is a 
relatively
long period of time, so I’m really 
attached to
this quiet, tranquil city.

(Do you like your hometown?)
 
(Answer)
Yes, absolutely.
(Give a reason for your answer)
Hue an area of 
outstanding
natural beauty and for me is 
one of the most beautiful places on earth. It has everything; historical sites, fantastic 
beaches, rolling mountains, dense forests and 
picturesque
countryside, extraordinary 
cuisine and hospitable people.

(Is there anything you dislike about it?)
 
The sole thing that I dislike about the city is probably the weather. In Hue, it 
invariably
rains from September to December, which somehow adds up to the blue atmosphere of 
the city. Sometimes, when the rain is so heavy and
