1. Describe your country's geography for me. Are there mountains, lakes or rivers? What is your country like?

- Vietnam is a beautiful country with a lot of natural landscapes. It has many mountains, rivers, lakes and beach.
- In the north, there are high mountains and green forests, like the Hoang Lien Son mountain range, which includes Fansipan, the highest peak in Vietnam.
- In the south, there are wide rivers and the Mekong Delta, which are very important for transportation and farming.
- Vietnam also has a long coastline with sandy beaches. People can enjoy swimming in the sea, exploring mountains, or relaxing by rivers and lakes.
- The country has four seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter.
- I think Vietnam is the most beautiful country in the world. Vietnamese people are very lucky to live in this country.

2. I would like you to pick a favorite place in your country from your childhood. Describe that place in detail. What was your memory of that place?

- My favorite place from my childhood is Ha Long Bay. I went there with my family when I was very young.
- It took about four hours to get there. When I arrived, I saw the clear blue sea, many small islands, and white sandy beaches. The weather was warm and sunny. I remember swimming in the sea and building sandcastles on the beach.
- At night, we went to the local night market to buy some gifts. The seafood there was fresh and delicious. We also went shopping at night markets to buy gifts for our families.
- This place was fun and relaxing, and I still remember it as a very happy from my childhood.

3. People often have memorable or moving experiences when they explore their country's geography. You might have climbed a famous mountain or might have been to a beautiful beach. Tell me a memorable story of when you visited a natural place in your country.

- I remember climbing a mountain near Sapa with some friends last year. The mountain was in the north of Vietnam, and it had very beautiful green forests and fresh air. The path was a little difficult, but we helped each other and enjoyed the hike.
- During the climb, we stopped several times to take pictures and enjoy the view. From the top, we could see the whole valley, with rice terraces and small villages below - it was amazing. We also had a small picnic there and shared some food and drinks.
- It was a memorable experience because I had fun with my friends, enjoyed nature, and felt proud of ourselves when we reached the top. That day made me feel the beauty of northern Vietnam and the happiness of exploring the mountains with my friends.
