Many people enjoy living in a big city because the think life in city is more exciting there. However, I come from small village and in my viewpoint, there are lots of benefits. The main reson I prefer village life is because it is very quiet, i can wake up by listening to the sound of birds singing on trees in the early morning. Another reason is that the air is so fresh and clean. We have more green spaces and bigger garden, too. The climate is warm and wet, which is great for growing rice, herding cattle, milking cows and plouding fields. Moreever, I think people here are friendly and kin. Countries are smaller communities and often evryone knows very well, so you might not have the next door neighbour, but you will have a handful of people who support and help each other. The " nón lá ", or rice hats. are often worn by framers to protect their heads from the sun. Because so many framers wear nón lá, they have become a symbol of Vietnam.
