2 the text with their meanings
 I feel fortunate that I am living in a peaceful village in southern Viet Nam. The 
 scenery here is 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. Many families live by growing fruit trees in 
 the orchards. Others live by fishing in lakes, ponds, and 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 friendly and hospitable. They often meet each other in the evening, 
 eating fruit, playing chess, singing folk songs, and chatting about everyday 
 activities. I. READING
