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 Sir / Madam,
I would suggest that your company should tell your drivers to clear up all the trash on the ground before leaving
I am writing to you about the short stop of your trucks around my house on their way to the north.
I look forward to hearing from you and seeing good response from your company.
When the trucks of your company have a short break on the streets around my house , the drivers have left lots of garbage on the ground after their refreshment. When the trucks leave the place, the ground is covered with trash and a few minutes later there is smell and flies.
Yours faithfully ,
Tran Vu Nhat

Dear Mr. President,
I am writing to you about the problem of fish
catching in the lake behind my house.

I am very worried because people don’t use fishing rod or net but use electricity to catch fish. After a short time they left the lake a lot of small fish died and floated on the water surface. Other animals such as frogs, toads, and even birds also died from electric shock waves.

I would suggest the local authorities should prohibit and fine heavily anyone using this way of catching fish.
I look forward to hearing from you and seeing the protection of environment from the local authority.

Sincerely,
Love.
