15 Thanh Giong Street,
Ha Noi, October 10th, 2010
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,
