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 letter, I`m very glad to hear you had an
enjoyable New Year vacation.
I received my first semester report last week. I got good grades
for all subjects except English. My English teacher asked me to
improve it, especially speaking and writing. Can you show me how
to study it well? I hope I`ll be better at this subject next semester.
It is almost Tet. That`s the Lunar New Year Festival in Vietnam. Tonight,
we`re going to Nghe An - our home village by train and celebrate the festival
with my grandparents. I`ll send you a postcard from there.

Dear Mary,
Thanks for your gift. I`m happy to hear that you had a nice
holiday in Paris.
I received my second semester report last month. I got good grades
for Literature, History and English but my Math and Chemistry
results were poor. My teacher told me to improve Math and
Chemistry. I think I will have to study harder next school year.
In a few weeks, we are going to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
That is a moon festival in Vietnam. This afternoon I`m going to
Nha Trang with my aunt by bus and I`m going to stay there with
her until after the festival. I`ll send you a postcard from there.
Write soon and tell me all your news.
Love,
