MY NEIGHBOURHOOD
I live in the suburbs of Da Nang City. There are many things I like about my neighbourhood.
It's great for outdoor activities because it has beautiful parks, sandy beaches and fine weather. There's almost everything I need here: shops, restaurants, and markets. The people here are friendlier, and the food is better than in other places.
However, there are two things I dislike about it: there are many modern buildings and offices; and the streets are busy and crowded.
