beautiful and picturesque with vast fields stretching long distances. The houses are surrounded by
green trees. There are lakes, ponds, and canals here and there. The air is fresh and cool. Life here
seems to move more slowly than in cities. The people work very hard. They grow vegetables,
cultivate rice, and raise cattle. At harvest time, they use combine harvesters to harvest their crops.

canals. Life in the village is very comfortable for children. They play traditional games. Sometimes
they help their parents pick fruit and herd cattle. People in my village know each other well. They are

singing folk songs, and chatting about everyday activities.
