Nam is a student of the foreign language school in HCM City. Last summer, he invited his friends to his home village near Ba Dong beach. They loved the activities on these days so much.

In the early morning, when they were doing morning exercises, farmers were working on the farm. The men were plowing in the field. The women were watering vegetables. One of Nam^’s friends said “What a busy morning!”.

In the afternoon, Nam and his friends took a trip to Ba Dong beach by bike. On the way to the beach, they still saw the farmers working in the field. At the beach, they saw some children playing football there. Nam and his friends played blind man^’s bluff together and returned home at 6 pm with happy feelings.

After dinner, they began singing songs under the moon. They enjoyed the fresh air at night. It was a wonderful day.

After coming back school, they miss the days in the countryside forever. They wish they could visit Nam^’s home village again.
