Lesson 4 : writing
I.vocabulary :

















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 post card from there.

Write soon and tell me all your news.
