Read the passage carefully and do the tasks
I live in a village by Mekong River. Every day, like most of my friends, I walk to school. It is
three kilometers away. After class, I often help my mother to collect water from the river and
feed the chickens. At the weekend, the villagers often gather at the community hall where there
is a TV. The adults watch TV, but more often they talk about their farm work and exchange news.
The children run around, playing games and shouting merrily. Laughter is heard everywhere. My
father sometimes takes me to the market town nearby where he sells our home products like
vegetables, fruits, eggs… He then buys me an ice cream and lets me take a ride on the electric
train in the town square. I love those trips. On starry nights, children lie on the grass, looking at
the sky and daring each other to find the Milky Way. We dream of far away places.
