Tien Dien village December 9, 2009
Dear Mary,
I live in Tien Dien, a small village. My family has a house with 4 rooms and a small garden. I like my house and my bedroom very much. From the bedroom window,I can see a big field with green trees,buffaloes and farmers. I don`t live far from my school, so I often walk there with my friends. In my neighborhood, there is an old pagoda.We often go there in important events: Tet holiday,village festival...But the thing we like best is to play some games such as: blind man bluff, catch, marbles..with the children in the village. 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. Van
