Dear John,
Thanks for your letter. I’m pleased to hear you had an enjoyable Christmas vacation.
We received our semester report a few days ago. I got good grades for Science, English and History but my Math result was poor. My math teacher asked me to spend more time on it. I must study harder next semester.
It is also Tet. That’s the Lunar New Year Festival in Viet Nam. I think I told you about it in my last letter. We’re going to Hue tonight to celebrate the festival with my grandmother. I’ll send you a postcard from there.
Write soon and tell me all the news.
Regards,
Hoa
