Trang: It’s a story called Tam Cam. Mike: What is it about? Trang: There is a very beautiful and kind girl named Tam. Her mother died early, and her father remarried. Unfortunately, her stepmother and stepsister were very mean to her. Mike: It sounds like Cinderella to me. Trang: Yes, Tam Cam is very much like Cinderella. Tam also dropped a shoe when he met the king for the first time, and the king also sent the shoe around the country to find her. Mike: Are there any other similarities? Trang: Actually, those are all the similar details. The rest is rather different. Tam was harmed by her stepmother and stepsister many times. Each time she died, she was reborn into a new form. The last time she was reborn, she lived in a fruit! Mike: That’s interesting. Is this because Vietnamese people believe in afterlife? Trang: You’re probably right. Now listen again. 2.

You can enjoy the beautiful surroundings and spend lots of time outdoors. In the city, there is much less space for outdoor activities. What’s more, people in the countryside are generally nicer. It is common that you know everyone in your village, whereas in the city you may not even know your next door neighbour’s name. This is partly because people in the city are too busy with their work. In the countryside, the living standard is not too high, so there is less pressure to earn much money. Therefore, you will feel more comfortable and relaxed. Social safety is another advantage. Crime rate is normally lower in the country compared to that in big cities. This is particularly important for families with small children. All in all, living in the countryside is the best choice.
