SAMPLE ANSWER

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am sorry I haven’t written to you for so long because I have been really busy with my work. Today, I am writing this letter
to answer your questions which you asked me last week.

Firstly, in your letter, you asked me about whether I could tell you the dates and the working hours of the exhibition. I have
to tell you that the trip for foreign students will be organized on 12, Dec,2025. Please kindly note that it will be held for
about 3–4 hours. I hope the weather will be nice that day so the exhibition can go smoothly. Secondly, as for your question
about what the benefit of the exhibition gave the students and what the activities were in the exhibition. I must say that there
are many benefits the students can receive, such as learning more about our history. During the exhibition, foreign students
will have the chance to take part in many interesting activities, they can take a photo with traditional customs or watch
traditional performance and communicate with local students to learn more about Vietnamese customs and traditions.
Finally, coming to the last question about the discount available, I suppose that we have vouchers for the people who make
reservations early. This would encourage more people to register in advance and help us organize the event more efficiently.

Do not hesitate to write to me if you want further information. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

English in your country. This is part of a letter you have received from them:
Tom’s doing a teacher-training course at the moment, as you know, but he thinks he ought to learn something of the
language before he comes, which seems like a good idea. He’s bought a “Teach Yourself” book on the language, but we
were wondering if you had any other suggestions which would help him. It’s quite a while since he studied a language at
school, so he’d also be really grateful for some general tips on learning a language.
