What kind of building do you live in ?

Apartment Rent house


Rooftop terrace Rent room

I live in a small two-bedroom apartment in the city


center. It has an open-con’cept living and dining
area, which I really like as it makes the space feel
more spacious. The building also has some nice
amenities like a gym and rooftop terrace that the
residents can use. Overall, it's a comfortable and
convenient place to live, even if the rent is a bit high.
Have you ever visited any historical
buildings near where you live?

temples royal palaces

Oh, absolutely! One historical building I've had the chance to


visit near my house is the Imperial Citadel of Thang Long.
When I visited, I was just blown away by the ancient stone
walls and ruins of the old royal palaces and temples - it really
gave me a sense of the country's long imperial history. It's a
UNESCO World Heritage Site that's incredibly well-
preserved, and I always enjoy going there to soak up the
atmosphere.
What are some common building materials
used in your country?
Brick Concrete
Commercial building Wood
Well, in my country, we tend to use a pretty wide
variety of materials when it comes to construction.
Probably the most common one is, you know, good
old concrete - we use that for the foundations and
the main structures of a lot of our buildings. Bricks
are also super popular, especially for the exterior
walls
Have you ever been involved in any
construction or renovation projects?
Commercial building
Rooftop terrace
Pitch in
Oh yeah, a few years back, my family decided to do a
big renovation on our house, and I actually ended up
pitching in to help out a bit. You know, things like
painting the walls, laying down new floors, stuff like
that. It was a ton of work, but it was also pretty
rewarding to see the final results and know that I
contributed to transforming the space
