Dear Donna,
Thanks for your letter. I’m glad to hear you
had an interesting/ 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 English and history. I think I’ll have
to study harder next school year.
In a few week, we ‘re going to celebrate the
mid- Fall festival. That is a moon festival in
Autumn or fall in Viet nam. I’m going to Ha
Long Bay with my aunt and uncle by bus this
afternoon and I’m going to stay there with
them until after the festival. I’ll send you a
postcard from there.
Write soon and tell me all your news.
Best,
