Read the text about life in a village in Viet Nam. Match the highlighted words in 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.
1c: stretching: covering a large area of land

I want to talk about an ancient village named Le Minh. It is a famous village for making traditional nem chua. The scenery here is picturesque with the old bridge and the village gate. There are many places to visit like traditional house, temples and wells. People in this village live by making traditional nem chua, but some other people go to work at factory. This is village is suitable for children. They go to school in the morning and help their parents after classes. People here get on well together. This village is very peaceful and suitable for anyone who wants to escape from the life of the city.
