UNIT 6: AN EXCURSION
Dear Minh,
I’m writing to tell you a piece of news.The first term is coming to an end soon and my school is going to have some days off.On this occasion, my class is visiting some caves near Hanoi as we have recently studied rock formations.Besides, many of us have never been inside a cave,soIsuppose the trip will be very interesting.
At first,we wanted to travel to thay Pagoda because it is only over 20 kilometres away, and we could go on a day excursion.
However,only today we have learnt that the caves near Thay Pagoda are closed until after Tet.So we are visiting theones near Huong Pagoda instead.A night campfire on a two-day trip will be a great event in our schooldays!




To make the trip cheap,we are bringing our own foodand sharing buses with some other classes.
It is much warmer now.I believe we
are going to enjoy good weather with
lot of sunshine.
The only problem I seem to have is
getting my parents’permission.They
may not wantto let me stay the night away
from home.I’ll try persuade them.
That’s all for now.Give my love to your parents and sister.
Yours,
LAN
