Read the following passage and choose the correct answer.
When Vu Thi Linh moved her family from their spacious rural home to a tiny rented room in
Hanoi, she hoped her children would be able to get the education she never had.
Her family are among hundreds of thousands of people moving to Vietnam's bulging capital
and southern Ho Chi Minh City every year, part of what the World Bank says is one of the
fastest rates of urbanization in Asia.
But as economic growth accelerates, Vietnam's cities are struggling to cope with the huge
numbers of people abandoning the grind of country life, while only the elderly and the young lOMoARcPSD|50202050 6
are left in the villages. Some 70 percent of the 90 million-strong population still lives off
farming in rural areas, many move to the cities to work in export-orientated manufacturing --
often in industrial zones on the outskirts of big urban centers -- construction and services. For
many of these new arrivals, life is not easy. Vietnam now has 30 million people living in cities,
making it the sixth most urbanized country in East Asia.
Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City have been struggling to build enough infrastructure -- roads, water
supplies and drainage can hardly keep pace with the city's growth. Traffic congestion has
become a major issue, while schools and hospitals are overloaded, experts say. In Ho Chi Minh
City, some 85,000 new pupils enter the schooling system each year and, in some areas, up to
half of these may be from other provinces. The new arrivals – mostly students and unskilled
workers bring benefits, but also put pressure on culture, education, traffic and health care.
