What are the benefits that a park can bring to a city?
Well there are 
loads of
benefits really, but I’ll mention two that I personally know. One 
is that it’s a green area where people can exercise if they like. You know, cities have 
been 
taken over
by ugly grey buildings these days, so having plenty of green spaces to 
exercise in is essential for any city. Another benefit is the social benefits that citizens 
can get from parks. What I mean is, if you go and take a look at one of the parks in Hanoi 
now, you’ll see plenty of elderly retirees having a chat together on lazy afternoons. 
That’s another key benefit to society because city life can get lonely.
How can we encourage young people to go to parks more often?
I guess one way to get them to go is introducing them to street workouts. Some teenagers 
might find that to be pretty cool if they tried it. Of course, they would get the chance to 
keep fit
and meet new people. One more way I can think of is bringing them to the park 
from a young age, like 5-6 years old. If they liked going enough in that time, perhaps 
they’d be 
inclined to
visit parks more often when they get older.
Should the government make people clean parks and gardens?
That’s a definite yes. As I just mentioned, there are loads of benefits to having green 
spaces in cities, so they definitely need to be clean and accessible for people of all ages. 
As I know, the government employ people to clean up as well as maintain parks, so I 
don’t believe it is a huge issue in Hanoi, but they could do a better job of maintaining the 
WC’s in some parks I have visited.
