Dear Tim,
Thanks for your letter. I`m pleased to hear you had an enjoyable Christmas vacation.
We received our first 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 almost 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 your news.
Regards,
Hoa

Dear Peter,
Thank you for your gift. I`m very happy to hear that you had a nice holiday in Paris
I received my first semester report last week. I got good grade for all subjects except English. My English teacher asked me to improve it. Can you show me how to study well? I hope I`ll be better at this subject next semester.
We`re going to celebrate the Lunar New Year Festival in two weeks. It is called Tet in Vietnam. Next week we`re going to Nghe An, our home village and celebrate the festival with my grandparents. I`ll send you a postcard from there.
Write soon to me and tell all your news.
Best,
Nam
