Talk about your holiday (quá khứ đơn)

Answer 1

[Hà]

I would like to talk about an exciting holiday where I went to the city of Nha Trang. It’s a lovely coastal city locates in the southern part of Vietnam. Me and my friends decided to spend our holiday there because we wanted to experience a different part of the country and see life by the beach.

There are several public transport system to get to Nha Trang. We took a train from Saigon to Nha Trang, it was an 8 hours trip so it was a bit hectic and frustrating but the joy and excitement compensated for it all. However, if you fly there, it will only take you about 1 hour and it should be more comfortable than traveling by train.

There were so many activities but we were only able to do just a few things on our three day trip. We got around the islands by cruise which was an amazing experience for use because we all like sightseeing. Taking part in the Vietnamese cuisine workshop was also a great fun. We bought fresh ingredients at the local flea market and learned how to use a wok to fry fresh fish and other seafood like crab and lobster. There are also lots of flavorful authentic local specialties in the market as well.

We absolutely enjoyed our holiday trip and we actually are planning on another trip so we can try out more activities in the graceful and charming Nha Trang. Be able to see the vibrant lifestyle of the locals and aesthetically of the landscape was something we will never forget. It is very much a worth-living city.
