Hoa’s family usually goes to their second house in the country, so she
always gets up early at weekends. This house is in a small village about an
hour away from where she lives in Ho Chi Minh city. Her grandmother and
some uncles and aunts live in the same place. They’ve got a big garden and
a tennis court so she can play tennis or go for walks with her grandmother.
On other Saturdays she gets up late, does a bit of homework and sometimes
goes to a football match in the afternoon. She is really a big football fan and
some of her best friends are football fans too.
