Where is this city? 2. What is the city famous for? 3. What part of the city would you like to live in? 4. Why you would like to live there? 28 Today, I would like to talk about Dalat, one of the most worth-living cities in Vietnam. (where this city is) To give you more information about it, Dalat is a small city located in the highlands of Vietnam, which is quite far from Ho Chi Minh City, about 6 to 7 hours travelling by car... And because of its location on the high mountains, the city’s temperature can drop down to 15 Celsius degrees, which makes the weather there much cooler than where I’m from. (what the city is famous for) Besides the atmosphere, its scenery, the spectacular waterfalls and fantastic strawberry farms for example, also contributes to making Dalat one of the most famous tourist attractions in Vietnam. Some people told me that I’m out of my mind, but it’s my life goal to own a cozy house in Dalat and move there permanently when I’m older. (what part of the city you would like to live in) The dream house that I have in mind will be located on the upper hills far from the center, so I can look down and see the beauty of the whole city. (why you would like to live there) As I’ve mentioned above, the weather, the scenery and also the specialties are the reasons why I want to live in Dalat. Moreover, unlike Saigonese people like myself, Dalat and its people have a very calm and 29 relaxed way of enjoying life. And that’s basically what we all need when we grow older!
