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.

Dear Donna,
Thanks for your letter. I’m pleased to hear you had an enjoyable Mother’s Day.
I received my second semester report last month . I got good grades for Geography, Physics and Math, but my English and History results were poor. My teacher told me to improve them. I think I have to study harder next school year.
In a few weeks, Mid-Autumn Festival will come. That’s Moon Festival in Vietnam. I think I told you about it in my last letter. I’m going to Ha Long Bay with my aunt and uncle by bus this afternoon. I’ll send you a postcard from there.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Love,
Lan
