 Dear Tim, 
How are you? I was very happy to get your letter two weeks ago. I have just finished my exams and I did it quite well.
My class has just come back from a trip to Phong Nha Cave, a World Heritage Site in central Viet Nam. It’s about 500 km from Ha Noi and it took us 10 hours to get there by train. We stayed in Dong Hoi for one night before the wonderful trip to Phong Nha Cave started.
The next day, we got up very early and went to Phong Nha Cave. We did lots of things but the one we enjoyed most is the guided tour into the Big Cave. Although it’s a summer day, it’s very cool and dark inside. The guide showed us the history of the limestone which made such magnificent caves. We took may photographs with local people there.
We came back to the hotel in Dong Hoi in the afternoon. We swam in Nhat Le beach. It was really fantastic. The water is clear and the sand is smooth.
We felt very happy after the trip. I enclose a photo that I took during the trip. I hope you like it.
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Your friend, 
Hoa
