Life in the City

Chapter 37: Traveling in the City

It is Sunday morning.
The sun is bright.
I feel excited.

I meet her at the bus stop.
We want to go to the library in the city center.

First, we take a taxi.
The driver asks, “Where do you want to go?”
I say, “The library, please.”
We sit in the back seat.
The car moves slowly.
We see many traffic lights and street signs.

After the taxi, we take a train.
The train is fast.
I look out of the window.
I see buildings, parks, and shops.

At the station, we ask a neighbor, “Which way to the library?”
He says, “Go straight, then turn left. It is next to the museum.”
We walk carefully.
We pass a post office, a cinema, and a restaurant.

Finally, we arrive at the library.
I feel proud.
I think, Traveling in the city is fun.
I learn many places and streets.

We read books and rest.
Then we go home by tram.
I smile and say, “I like our city.”

Life in the City Chapter 1: A New Day My name is Nam. I live in a small apartment in the city with my mother. Our apartment is on the third floor. It has two rooms, one kitchen, and one bathroom. It is not big, but it is warm and full of light. In the morning, I wake up at six o’clock. The city is already alive. Through the window I see tall buildings and long streets. The street below is busy. Cars, buses, and motorbikes move fast. I hear horns. I hear people talk loudly. But I also hear birds on the roof. I stand by the window for a moment. I feel the sun on my face. I take a deep breath. The air smells of food from the small shop downstairs. It smells like bread and coffee. Then I brush my teeth and wash my face. The water is cold, but it wakes me up. In the kitchen, my mother makes breakfast. We eat together. She drinks hot tea. I eat bread with butter and drink a glass of milk. We do not talk much, but it feels nice. It feels safe. After breakfast, I p...

Life in the City Chapter 7: Evening at Home The bus stops near my apartment. I get off and walk home. The sky is dark now. Lights shine in the street. People buy food from small shops. The city feels busy again. I climb the stairs to the third floor. I open the door. My mother is cooking dinner. The smell of rice and fish fills the room. “Hello, Nam,” she says. “Hello, Mom,” I answer. I sit at the table. I feel tired but also full of thoughts. We eat together. After some time, my mother looks at me. “You are quiet today,” she says. “Did something happen at school?” I nod slowly. “Yes, something happened. This morning the teacher asked me to read. My voice was weak. One boy laughed at me. I felt afraid. I felt small.” My mother puts down her chopsticks. Her eyes are calm. “What did the teacher say?” she asks. I remember the smile of Ms. Hoa. “She said I can do it. She told me to try louder next time. Minh also told me I was good. And Linh said I read better th...

Life in the City Chapter 2: At School The bus moves slowly through the city. I sit by the window and watch. Shops, trees, and people pass by. I see a man selling fruit on the corner. I see children walking with heavy bags. The city feels big, but the bus feels small. After twenty minutes, we reach the school. The bus stops. Students get off. Some run, some walk. I walk with my friend Minh. He is in my class. He is tall and always smiles. “Good morning, Nam,” Minh says. “Good morning,” I answer. We laugh and walk together. Our school is big. It has three buildings and a playground. The walls are yellow. The windows are wide. Every morning, the school feels noisy and alive. The bell rings. We go to our classroom. Our teacher, Ms. Hoa, is already there. She is kind but strict. She says, “Good morning, class.” We all answer, “Good morning, teacher.” We sit down. The lesson begins. Today we study English. I open my book. I read new words. I write them in m...
