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
