Dear Paul,
I’m very glad to hear news from you. My hobby is very similar to you. I also spend
all my day on watching TV. In my country, there are many programs on TV for all
kinds of people at a variety of ages: for children, for teenagers, for the young and
for the old. I really like these programs. And recently, I am very interested in one
programs for the younger called “Who is the billionaire?” This program’s format is
that one player need to answer all fifteen questions to be a winner and receive the
prize up to 100 million Vietnam Dong. “Who is the billionaire?” is very useful
because it provides me with a lot of knowledge in many aspects of life. I watch TV
about one hour every day when I have dinner with my family and before I go to
bed. In my country, people watch TV when they see that one program they like is
on TV. I hope we will talk with each other more in next letter.

Dear …..,
I am very happy to hear that you will visit my hometown. It is very far from the
airport to my home. You have to get off the plane at Noi Bai airport in Ha Noi. You
can go to Thai Nguyen by taxi, car, or bus. It takes about two hours. The bus is
very cheap, but you will have to catch 3 trips. Taxi is the most convenient way.
However, you have to pay more for a taxi than a car. I think moving by car is most
suitable for you.
About the weather, it is autumn here, so you should bring summer clothes. My
country is tropical climate, It is always hotter than yours.
Hope to see you.
Yours!

Dear Natalie,
I’m really glad that you would come to stay with me next month. When you get
out the airport’s lobby, take a taxi to the centre of the city. My apartment is in a
big building opposite to the Vincom Center on Ba Trieu street. I live in room
507 on the 5th floor, so just take the elevator in the lobby. I you have any
problem finding the, please call me. To get to my place, you can take a taxi or
use the public city bus, which is the means of tranport. It takes about 45
minutes to move from the airport tothe city downtown by taxi and maybe 1
hour by bus, and the buses seem to be quite crowded all the day. Anyway, you
have to pay only 5 thousand. So taxi is expensive, isn’t it? You don’t have to
bring a lot of warm clother to Vietnam, because the winter of this year hasn’t
year been very cold.
Look forward to seeing you in Hanoi,,

Dear …….,
Teaching English in Vietnam is a great job, but your son will have many troubles
of language difference. He shoul spend time learning Vietnamese by many ways.

improve communication. Speaking and listening are very important skills for his
daily life in a foreign contry. Some overseas students have to eat bread for a long
time because of language barriers. Try to practice more and more he can. Why
doesn’t he come and live with my family some weeks. He will have chace to
interact with Vietnameses, we can help him familiar with new life here. Believe

Dear Mrs. Nora White,
Thanks for your reflection. Firstly, I am really sorry about your dissatisfaction. In
that day when we organize the ski trip, the weather is not really good, so we have
to cut down some activities. The plan chanced because of objective reason.
Moreover, most of students are 10 years old, too adventurous lesson will make
them scare. The second thing – accommodation – is our mistake. We order the
hostel too late, it is out of good rooms. We have to choose the cheap ones. We will
pay back student some accommodation money. We sorry about this dissatisfaction
once more time. We will learn from experience for next time.
Yours faithful!

Dear Ms White,
First, let me apologise for any disappointment your son experienced on our ski
trip. It is true that there were several concerns. Since we had been led to believe
by the company that there would be sufficient slopes for both beginners and
advanced skiers, we were extremely upset when this turned out to not to be the
case. It was also unfortunate that lack of snow meant that artificial snow had to
be used instead.
As for the question of lessons, if you look at the letter we sent you, you will see
that only five one-hour lessons were included in the price and that extra hours
would have to be paid for separately.
In relation to accommodation, I am not quite sure what you are referring to. I
know that in one room there were not enough beds but this was not the case in
your son's room.
We would like to assure you that we take all complaints seriously. We have already
decided that next year we will change the company and the location for our trip
and we hope that your son will consider joining us again.
Yours sincerely,

Bài làm:
Dear Anne,
I am really pleased to get your letter and get to know that you are going to visit our
country next year. Well, the best time to visit my country is during the summer,
from April to June. Since this is the beginning of the summer, the weather is
extremely nice. It seems sunny all the time and temperature is around 35 degree.
In addition, the best way in order for you to meet people aged from 17 to 18 is in
Hanoi. As you know, Hanoi is the capital of Vietnam which is the most modern and
busiest city in Vietnam. You can easily find young people everywhere, especially
in famous places where tourists often visit such as Hoan Kiem Lake or old
quarters. They like hanging out with their friends to find foreigners to practice
English. I am sure that you are welcomed by the people of my own age who are
very sociable and hospitable.

I suggest that you should not bring too much stuff because you can buy them in
Vietnam where there are a variety of high-quality clothes at very reasonable price.
If you prefer bringing your own things, my suggestion is summer clothes like
shorts, tank top, skirt, swimsuits.
I have my summer holiday in May so I will be available to travel around with you.
I will be your free tour guide, taking you to visit our stunning Hanoi as well as the
17


most attractive beaches and places in Vietnam. I promise you will really enjoy your

I am so happy to receive your letter.
I am willing to help you organize a special party for Rupert. I am sure that it will
be an unforgettable memory with him. I think holding a party at home is a great
choice to have a cozy atmosphere. I know your house is quite small, so you should
invite up to 20 closest friends and relatives. Besides, you should hold a garden
party so that everyone can try barbecue while dancing.
About birthday present, I suggest giving him an e-bike. He will study at high

It has been a long time since our last writing when you start studying for the
university entrance exam. First of all, congratulating on passing your important
exam with such a great result that deserves your effort. Gift from parents is always
a wonderful motivation for us to get the outstanding performance for any exam and
finally you can successfully achieve it and now, the happiest moment is thinking of
how to use that amount of money wisely. With 1000 USD, If I were you,
computer would be the first thing I want to spend money on because it is an
indispensable device supporting you the most during your school year because
your major is information technology. The second thing is you should also buy
some new clothes to be ready to become a freshman with the most cheering mood
ever when going to school. However, It will be better you can have a good plan of
spending money to make sure that after that there is still a small amount of money
for saving up for your future.
Hope that you and your family will have much fun and best decisions in these
days.

Dear ….

I was glad to receive your letter. It’s really great that you did well in your test and
your parents let you spend the money to splash out on something really special..
As for me, I would neither get a new computer nor some new clothes. You know

your computer is still good. You should have a new one when you enter university.
And Christmas is coming so you can get some new clothes then. Do you think
about spending your money on a trip? Going to somewhere else and taking part in
some our door activities or exploring nature would be great. It will not only help
you relax but you can also gain some new experiences.
Well, I must finish now as I’ve got my aerobics class. Take care and stay in touch!

Hi Robin,
Glad to hear that from you. It’s great for me to join you and your friends.

I would like to choose tents, since we’re going to a sports camp aren’t we? So it
should be more interesting to merge yourself in the nature, enjoying fresh air and
everything the city couldn’t provide us. And it must be very promisingly exciting
to explore your country’s natural beauty, being in a different climate from my
hometown.
Also, there’re some traditional dishes of my country I could bring to the camp too!
Keep waiting and I’ll surprise you all.
Last but not least, I prefer to arrive some days in advance so I could take some rest
after a long flight, and maybe getting to know somewhat about your city and
Canada right?
If there is anything you want to tell me, just write. I’m looking forward to the trip.

You are studying English in London and you’ve just received a letter from your
friend, Ken, who is a sailing instructor on the south coast. Read part of his letter
below.
And I’m really enjoying the job.
By the way, we’re going to run weekend sailing courses for complete beginners. Why don’t you
come down to Hamble and do one? You’ve always said you wanted to . learn to sail, so this
would be an ideal opportunity. And after only a few weekends you could get your certificate.
We start the first one next month – let me know if you’re interested.

Dear Ken,
I was so delightful to receive your letter after months. Hope that everything is
alright there.
It is really great to know you are doing what you love and especially still
remember that I wanted to learn sailing.
Actually I am now quite busy working on my Accounting assignment so that I can
submit by 15th of next month. However, since learning how to sail as well as
getting a certificate have been my desire for a long time and this is a perfect
chance. I will try my best to finish my assignment at the end of this month and
come down to Hamble next month to join your exciting course.
Look forward to seeing you soon
Best wishes,
Anna

Your English friend Tom came to visit you recently and he has just sent you an
email and some photographs. Read part of his email below.

Thanks for taking me to the airport. I hope your journey home wasn’t too long.
I really enjoyed staying with you. Here are the photos I took. Which one do you like best?
When I got home, I realized I left my watch behind. It’s green and gold. You haven’t found it,
have you?
I think we’ll have a great time together when you come here in September. We could either

spend the whole time in my family’s flat in the city or stay on my uncle’s farm in the countryside.
Which would you like to do?

Dear Tom,
It was so great to receive your email and know that you got home safely. It took me
only 30 minutes to drive home so don’t you worry.
The photos that you took are much more beautiful than I expected. I didn’t know
that you are a professional photographer. The picture I love the most might be the
one of you and my family when we went to the national museum. I will surely
print it out and put into a frame.
I have just checked and found your watch under my pillow. Maybe you put it off
when you sleep and left there. I will bring it to you when I visit your place in
September. I prefer staying on your uncle’s farm in the countryside as I love the
peaceful atmosphere and fresh air.
I’ll text you later when we have time.
Can’t wait to see you there.
Lots of love,
Marry

You have received a letter from your English-speaking friend, Renate, who is
planning to visit you. Read part of his letter below.
It was great to talk on the phone last week about my visit to your

country. I’m sorry that you won’t be home when I visit but it’s great that
your brother can meet me at the airport and let me stay at his house.
As I have only 10 days, where would you recommend I visit? And also
what is the best way to travel? Is it expensive to hire a car?
One other thing, I’d like to bring your brother a present. What do you
think he’d like? Maybe he’d like some of my country’s chocolate.

Dear Renate,
I was so happy receiving your email and knowing that you are coming to my place.
It’s really bad that I can’t manage to stay at home when you come. The fact is I
have a very important training course at my university. Fortunately, my brother,
Peter is available to pick you up at the airport and take you to his house. They are
living in the city centre so it’s very convenient to go around.
There are plenty of things to do and places to go here in my city within 10 days.
My brother knows it very well and he will bring you around, treat you some street
foods. Anyway, one place he might not know is the ancient castle on a beautiful
moutain which is 5 kilometers from the city by car. You can ask my brother hire
