Dear Nam,
How are you? I think you are studying hard for your final exams.
I’m writing this letter to tell you that I’ve returned from a trip to Nha Trang with my family. The sight is extremely magnificent.
It took us about six hours by car to get there from Ba Ria Town. We spent about three days there.
The weather was rather hot and windy so we enjoyed swimming and walking along the beach at night very much. The food was very delicious.
It was really interesting to travel to Vinpearl land by telpher. We met a lot of foreigners there, they were very friendly. We really want to come back there when we have time next year.
I hope you will get good results about your next exams. What are you going to do during your summer holiday?
Write to me soon.
Your friend,
Minh
