Favorite Place
Everyone has a special place, a place where you have memories, where you can find peace and harmony. A place where you know you are just happy being there. For some it's a quiet place, for others it's a noisy place. But all of these places have one thing in common; they are places where you think first when asked. My favorite place is a city from where I live in Vietnam, a city called Hanoi. Hanoi, which is the capital of Vietnam, has a long history of culture and development. Situated in the north-east of Vietnam, Hanoi is the most beautiful city in the country and So why do I like my city? First reason is my family and relatives. I was born and grew up in Hanoi for my whole life. Since I was a baby, I had a lot of memories with this city. I was born in the area of middle-class people in the city, so my childhood I can say it was good. My parents always took care of me, teach me a lot of useful things but also they are strict. I remember when I was 5, I had lost in the park because I followed my friends and I don’t know how to get home. I cried a lot. Until 9p.m, my father found me sitting at the chair in the park. He took me home and yelling at me. At that time, I wonder why he didn’t asked me if I get hurt or injured instead of be angry. But when I grew up, I understand that he did it just because he want me to be careful and don’t get lost again. That once of many memories about the time I lived there with my parents. I’m in the US for almost a year, but the first thing I see in my head when I’m hungry is the food in Hanoi. Food and meal in Hanoi is in people soul and it’s the part of culture. I think there is a food which become popular in most part of the world. It’s Pho – a Vietnamese noodle. Pho in Hanoi is the best in the country, nowhere else have a taste like it’s there. In Hanoi there is a lot of food store or restaurant you can go to. Besides of Vietnamese foods, there are many different kind of food from many countries like Fastfood of the US,

    In the past few years, I have traveled to many countries and got to experience many types of foods. One of those countries which was very interesting was America. There are several obvious differences between Thai and American food. The first difference is the difference of flavor. Thais foods are very flavorful; there are a variety of tastes. For example, one bowl of curry is probably filled up with sour-tasting lime or tamarind, salt from fish sauce and a sweet taste from cane sugar. Most dishes usually contain a lot of spices and herbs but Americans foods are different; most of them are pretty bland and salty. The second difference is size of serving, in America you will get large sized food portions when you order food, sometimes I have to split in two and share with others. In contrast, in Thailand the food portions are smaller and people usually order multiple dishes in each meal. Another difference is the variety of foods - there are many kinds of foods for you to choose in Thailand. Thais usually cook fresh foods almost every meal and they eat a lot of vegetables and meats. Meanwhile, a lot of the Americans usually carry a lot of frozen and fast foods instead of cooking fresh at home because it makes their life much more convenient. However, food is always an interesting thing to learn and experience. Although foods in America are different from Thailand whether it’s the taste, portion, size and variety, it is still interesting for…

    My favorite place when I was young was my house. We had a huge yard. In the yard there were many trees and flowers, and some of the trees were very big and tall. My family house was the only house that had so many big trees in the neighborhood. It was a big white house with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. My favorite room was the living. The living room is the first room when entering the house. This room is filled with very lively furniture. Comfortable, tan leather couches, colorful rugs over the bare wood floor, and a large display case with pictures, books, and many memories of friends and family. And I mustn’t forget about the enormous window that, during the day, will let as much sunlight and energy in the room as it possibly can. I used to lie on the couch to read a book, or have a nice afternoon nap.…
