Dear Tim,

Thanks for your letter. I’m pleased to hear you had an enjoyable Christmas vacation.
We received our first semester report a few days ago. I got good grades for Science, English and History, but my math result was poor. My Math teacher asked me to spend more time on it. I must study harder next semester.
It is almost Tet. That’s the Lunar new year Festival in Viet Nam. I think I told you about it in my last letter. We’re going to Hue tonight to celebrate the festival with my grandmother. I’ll send you a postcard from there.
Write soon and tell me all your news.

Regards,
Hoa.
