Nick: You look great with a tan, Mai!
Mai: Thank you. I’ve just come back from a very enjoyable summer holiday.
Nick: Really? Where did you stay?
Mai: I stayed at my uncle’s house in a small village in Bac Giang Province.
Nick: What did you do there?
Mai: A lot of things. It was harvest time. The villagers were harvesting rice with a combine 
harvester. I helped them load the rice onto a truck. Then we unloaded the rice and dried it.
Nick: Sounds great!
Mai: And sometimes I went with the village children to herd the buffaloes and cows. I made 
friends with them on my first day.
Nick: Were they friendly?
Mai: Yes, they were. They took me to the paddy fields to fly kites. And in the evening, we played 
traditional games like bamboo dancing and dragon-snake.
Nick: Oh, I envy you!
Mai: Things move more slowly there than in our city, but people seem to have a healthier life. * PRACTICE
