Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep well at night, and during weekends and summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend ones free time digging, planting, watering and doing the one hundred and one other things that are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and the vegetables come up, one has the reward of one who has shared the secrets of Nature.

How Nam has improved his English
In the first year of lower secondary school, I had some difficulties in learning English.
My English pronunciation was really bad and my English grammar was worse. I did
not know how to improve them. I didn’t want my father and mother to know about this.
One afternoon after the lesson, my teacher of English told me to wait for her outside
the classroom. She took me to the school library and showed me cassettes of
pronunciation drills kept in a glass bookcase. She also told me how to use an English-
English dictionary to improve my English grammar. “Now I think you know what you
should do”, said she. I made much progress and only one year later, I won the first
prize in the English Speaking Contest held for secondary school students in my
hometown.
