A

I would like to talk about a short trip that I frequently take but dislike. I have been living in Hanoi, however, I always make time for visiting my parents every 6 months in my hometown, which is located in Ha Giang city, about 300 kms from Hanoi.

It normally takes us around 5 hour and a half to get there by car. To be honest, I usually get carsick, so I do not really enjoy traveling by car. I mean, it makes me feel very tired and I have a headache [ hedeɪk ] throughout the journey.

Despite the fact that carsick makes it difficult for me to put up with even this short trip, I still try my best to take time to visit my parents. You know, because we are living in a big city, we are so busy at work and study as well, that our lifestyle does not allow us to have much time to get together.

In addition, I really enjoy my hometown due to its beautiful views of the countryside. Although it is so tough [tʌf] to stop my carsickness, our family ties and the beauty of my small hometown will keep drawing me back there.
