15 Quang Trung street Hanoi, July 12 th, 2005 Dear Donna,
Thanks for your letter. I am glad to hear you had an interesting Mother’s Day.
We have 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 advises 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 am going to Ha Long Bay with my aunt and uncle by bus and I am going to stay ther with them until the festival comes. I will send you a postcard from there.
Write soon and tell me all your news.
Best, Lan.
