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 Lan,
I live in a small village in the countryside.My family has a big house with five rooms and a small garden. I like my house and my bedroom,too.From my bedroom window I can see a garden with many green trees and a lot of beautiful flowers.I don`t live far from my school so I can walk there every morning. In my neighborhood, there is a store,a stadium a school and a river. But the thing I like best is the river .In the afternoons, my friends and I often go fishing there. Is there anything interesting where you live? Write to me.
I`d like to say goodbye now. I`m looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Love, Nga
