Huong pagoda
Dear Minh, I’m writing to tell you a piece of news. The first term is coming to
an end soon and my school is going to have some days off. On this
occasion, my class is visiting some caves near Hanoi as we have
recently studied rock formations. Besides, many of us have never
been inside a cave, so I suppose the trip will be very interesting.
At first, we wanted to travel to Thay Pagoda because it is only over 20
kilometres away, and we could go on a day excursion.
However, only today have we learnt that the caves near Thay Pagoda
are closed until after Tet. So we are visiting the ones near Huong
Pagoda instead. A night campfire on a two-day trip will be a great
event in our school days! To make the trip cheap, we are bringing our
own food and sharing buses with some other classes.
It is much warmer now. I believe we’re going to enjoy good weather with
lots of sunshine.
The only problem I seem to have is getting my parents’ permission. They
may not want to let me stay the night away from home. I’ll try to persuade
them.
That’s all for now. Give my love to your parents and sister.
Yours,
Lan
