Dear Nga,
How are you? I hope you are having a nice time with your family. I and my family have just come back from a trip to Cuc Phuong National Park in Ninh Binh Province. It is a famous park in Viet Nam. It`s about 100okms from my house and we got there by train. We spent a week there and I didn`t want to leave.
Cuc Phuong National Park is very beautiful. Although it was summer, it was very cool , temperate. And the air was pure
In the morning, the park ranger led us on a guided hike under the rainforest. There are many strange animals, plants and flowers.
But I liked seeing birds best. The ranger talked about the animals and plants which I didn`t know before.
The trip was wonderful. I was happy and relaxed.
That`s all I have time to tell you about. Write to me soon and tell me about your news.
Your friend,
Nhi
