My Village
I live in a village by Mekong River. Everyday, like most of my friends, I walk to school. It is three kilometers away. After class, I often help my mother to collect water from the river and feed the chickens. At the weekend, the villagers often gather at the community hall where there is a TV. The adults watch TV, but more often they talk about their farm work and exchange news. The children run around, palying games and shouting merrily. Laughter is heard everywhere.
