My Life in a Small Village

My name is Linh. I am fourteen years old and I live in a small village in Ha Giang with my parents and my younger brother. Our village is not big — there are only about one hundred families — but life here is peaceful and people are very friendly.

Every morning, I get up at half past five. Before going to school, I help my mother feed the chickens and pick fresh vegetables from our garden. My school is not far from home, so I ride my bicycle there with my friends.

In my free time, I love reading books. Our village has a small library, and it opens three afternoons a week. When I am not reading, I play badminton with my friends in the village yard or help my grandmother make traditional cakes.

On Sunday mornings, I go to the local market with my grandmother. The market is always busy and colourful, and people sell everything from fresh fruit to handmade clothes.

Life in my village is slower than life in the city, and the internet here is not very fast. However, I still love my home village because of its fresh air, quiet fields and kind people.
