1. I live at 12 Ma Da village in Dong Nai province. 

2. It is far from town so life is very quiet and peaceful.

3. Everyday I wake up early at about 5.30.

4. I clean my teeth, wash my face, have a quick breakfast and walk to school.

5. It takes me half an hour to get there.

6. I usually have lessons in the morning so I often go home late at 12:30.

7. I usually study hard in the school because I don't have enough time to study at home.

8. I help my parents to work on the farm in the afternoon.

9. In summer vacation, my parents often let me visit my grandfather in Nha Trang.

10. It is a great time because I spend all the time there going swimming.

11. Although life in the countryside is still hard, I love it so much.

12. That is my motherland.
