improve my English. Well, tomorrow I am going to visit the language center to see what English classes they
offer there in the evenings. Of course, I am going to read a newspaper everyday. I am going to spend a lot on
cassettes because listening is so important ! There are some good bookshop here, so I am going to look for some

How are you getting on ? Please write to me. Hope to hear from you soon.

Love,
Nam
