Dear Donna,
Thanks for your letter. I’m glad to hear that you had an interesting/
enjoyable 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 advised me to improve English and History. I think I have
to study harder next school year.
In a few weeks, we are 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
