Subject: A room at the Crazy House Hotel
Hi Phong and Mi,
How are you? I’m in Da Lat with my parents. We’re staying at the Crazy House Hotel. Wow! It really is crazy. There are ten rooms in the hotel.
There’s a Kangaroo Room, an Eagle Room, and even an Ant Room. I’m staying in the Tiger Room. It’s called the Tiger Room because there’s a big tiger on the wall.
The tiger is between the bathroom door and the window. The bed is next to the window, but the window is a strange shape. I put my bag under the bed. There’s a lamp, a wardrobe and a desk.
You should stay here when you visit Da Lat. It’s great.
See you soon!

This is my Rhino room. There is a big bed in the middle of the room. There are two lamps next to the bed for me to read books at night before sleeping.
There is a big TV on the wall, opposite to my bed. I can lie in the bed watching TV. There is also a sofa and two armchairs in my room, too. There is a desk and two chairs for me to study. There is a bathroom in my room, and there is a fridge in front of the bathroom. The most interesting thing about my room is the big balcony where I can enjoy the fresh air, watching lines of people moving in the streets below. You should visit my room. It’s great.
