No longer just short leisure getaways,
2
the idea of leaving the city for the countryside is becoming a serious lifestyle choice for many Vietnamese people.
3
And looking at the foot of the Mavi Mountain in Hanoi,
4
a new community called Lang Gao or Gao Village is taking shape.
5
And there, the value of happiness is defined by inner peace rather than the fast-paced rhythm of urban life.

which is now part of Ba Vì commune Hanoi.
9
I simply hope for a living space that is clean and wholesome,
10
close to nature, with clean water and fresh air.

12
hands-on work and truly appreciates what one has.
13
Ms. Guing's family was among the first to move from the city center to settle in this area.

To date, more than 20 other families have made the same choice as hers,
15
forming a community now known as Lang Gap.

Here, I have more time to tend the garden.
17
I can also walk across the fields where the air is so wonderful.
18
Overall, I feel that my life's much richer.
19
Slow down so I can see what gives my life
20
so much meaning so I can observe my own mind and nurture its growth." In this new land,
21
the Lang Giao community works alongside local residents to develop sustainable, eco-friendly agriculture.
22
Producing clean products to reduce health risks for ourselves and for the community,
23
that's something our family finds really meaningful.
24
When you all come here,
25
you help the locals with good opportunities to make a good, honest living.
26
Living the city for the countryside at Lãng Càu is more than just a geographical shift.
27
It is a revolution in the way happiness is understood.

By practicing a sustainable lifestyle and clean agriculture,
29
these people are able to transform their own lives and those of their families.
30
They're also helping to write a new and inspiring story for rural Vietnam.
31
Thank you.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
