Duyen Dang 10/10/17 ESL 091 In class essay #1 Everybody has their hometown where they born and growing up, and I has too. My hometown is Tien Giang; it is a small town in the Southwest of Vietnam, it took about two hours away to go to the large city. I will tell about a special place where I lived and describe what it looks like and explain why I like the location so much. I believe that everybody should go to my hometown to visit because people live there very friendly, food is good, and it has fruit garden. The first reason that tourists should visit my hometown because people lives there very friendly. Because that is a small town and it is far from the city, everybody always treats each other with heart. People in my hometown never reject anything help if they can do that. For example, in my hometown, there was a young lady who was seriously sick and practically lost her life. A kind-hearted journalist heard about her story and wrote a report in the newspaper. Many individuals in our hometown saw the story and attempted their best to help that girl. They gave money, clothes, and some neighbor go to her house to take care her when her parents were busy. At last, with the help of many good people and generous hospital which cured the girl for free, her illness was cured. Nowadays, many people think about money first more than people feel for each other, in contrast, people in my hometown think by their heart if someone needs help they never reject. Our local people

    Visiting around Little Saigon, I easily found out that the heart of Little Saigon is located on Bolsa Avenue between Westminster Boulevard and Magnolia Avenue. This is a famous tourist attraction that most Vietnamese people must visit when they travel to California. It is not difficult at all to try Vietnamese traditional cuisines since both sides of the street are packed with restaurants that serve typically traditional foods such as Pho, Egg Rolls, Banh Mi, etc. Furthermore, Vietnamese people also get access to other services such as bank, health care centers, shops, entertainments, legal-aid services and many other services at ease.

Rembrandt van Rijn shows in his work Beggars Receiving Alms at the Door of a House, in the Netherlands 1648 that some people take their families to ask for Alms (Doc 6). Vives includes an image of a family standing before a man who’s giving them some type of charity. We can interpret and state that family beg together to cause pity because of the people who go around begging for help due to the fact that they don’t have enough money to feed their kids.
