Suggested letter
Dear An,
I’m very happy to hear that you will come to my school and visit My Chanh market next weekend. I’m writing to tell you how to get there from Nam Hai Lang high school..
Now, when you come out of the school’s gate, turn right. Go straight ahead until you come to the end of the road. Turn left, keep walking for 3 minutes and you will see My Chanh bridge ahead. Go over the bridge, then take the first turning on the left. Go along the road past Chon Bao pagoda and you will see the market. It is on the right, opposite the goldsmith’s shop. You can’t miss it. I have enclosed the map so that you can follow my directions easily.
Looking forward to seeing you soon.
Love,
