Dear Lan,
Thank you very much for the bear you sent me on my birthday. It was very nice and I really liked it.
I have just finished my first exam, so I am free now. I think it might be nice to go on a picnic for the weekends. Will you go with me? We will go to Ba Den mountain on Sunday morning and return on Sunday afternoon. I hope you’ll join me.
I will telephone you on Thursday.
