I was brought up partly in London and partly in a town further north. I have a good memory of the northern town because it is easiest to remember a place with recognised limits. The surprising thing I saw when I went to live in London was a notice that indicated that much people lived in one district there than in the town I had come.
VII. Read the passage and answer the questions below it.

As well as visiting the battle site, tourists can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Muong Thanh Valley, visit the neighboring villages, and share the hospitality of the local people.
 Most of the people who live in the area are members of the Thai or H'Mong ethnic minorities. However, they do not depend on tourism alone to live. As Dien Bien Phu is only 30 kilometers from the Lao's border, it is an important trading center. Food leaves here for Laos and Thailand and goods arrive for the northern provinces of Vietnam.
