Dear Tuan,
I arrived in Australia a week ago and I think that my English is improving! I’m living
in a small flat near the centre of Sydney. It’s cheap and quite comfortable.
In your letter you ask what I’m going to do to improve my English. Well, tomorrow
I’m going to visit the language centre to see what English classes they offer there in
the evenings. Of course, I’m going to read a newspaper every day. I’m going to spend
a lot on cassettes because listening is so important! There are some good bookshops
here, so I’m also going to look for some other books to read before bedtime. I’m going
to write a diary in English – that’s a good way to learn English.
How are you getting on? I was sorry I had to leave in the middle of the course. Are
you going to write to me again?
Hope to hear from you all soon.
