Dear Hoa,

Thank you very much for the flowers you sent
me while I was in the hospital. They were beautiful
and they really helped to cheer me up. I came out
of the hospital on Monday morning. Now I am very
bored. Will you come over to my place on the
weekend? I’d love to see you. I’ll telephone you on
Friday afternoon.
Your friend,
Nga

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 in Vietnam.
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 about your news.
Regards,
Hoa

Dear Donna,
Thanks for your letter. I’m glad to hear you had an interesting Mother’s Day. We received our second semester report last month. I got good grades for Geography, Physics and Math, but my English and History results were poor. My teacher advises me to improve English and History. I think I have to study harder next school year.
In a few weeks, we’re going to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. That is an Autumn Moon Festival in Vietnam. This afternoon, I’m going to Ha Long Bay with my aunt and uncle by bus and I’m going to stay there with them until the festival comes. I’ll send you a postcard from there.
Write soon and tell me all your news.
Best,
Lan
