* What do you often write about?

February 10, 2008.
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
