~~ A holiday story ~~
Nam:
Welcome back, Phuong! Brazil is amazing, isn’t it?
Phuong: It is, Nam, and it’s very diverse.
Nam:
What do you mean?
Phuong: The beaches in the south are so peaceful, while cities like
Rio are overcrowded.
Nam:
What about the people?
Phuong: In Rio some people are wealthy, with high living standards.
But there are also poor people who live in slums.
Nam:
Life must be difficult in the slums.
Phuong: Yes, the slums are overcrowded, and crime is a major
problem there.
Nam:
Crime affects everyone in the city, doesn’t it?
Phuong: It does, Nam. But there are probably other problems in the
slums too, like disease, and poor healthcare, ...
Nam:
Wow, did you see that yourself?
Phuong: No, visitors don’t usually visit the slums. It’s too dangerous.
Nam:
There are probably fewer things to see and to do the slums,
aren’t there?

Phuong: Yes. However, I love Brazil and I had a very good time there.
