Dear Hoa,
Hi! How are you? I’m fine. Thanks for your letter. I like hearing about how students live in Viet Nam. I find it really interesting.
I think you have fewer vacations than American students. Is that true? Our longest vacation is in the summer. Do you have a long summer vacation, too? We don’t have a Tet holiday, but we celebrate the New Year on January 1st . Our most important vacations are Easter, 4th of July, Thanks giving and Christmas. We usually spend time with our families on these vacations.
What other vacations do you have? What do you like doing during your vacations? Please write soon and tell me.

Your friend,
Tim
