we can distinguish tenses in English easily. Absolutely, I will take note his
lectures carefully and give you all. You only learn it there. Besides, you should
watch the English content channels such as documentarycustoms, movies or
entertainment to practise as well as relax. Through it you will improve your

Hi John,
Congratulations on winning the second prize in the art competition. It is the result of
your hard work. And I am very happy that you chose my country as your holiday
destination for you and your mother.
In my country, it is summer, which is very suitable for traveling. However, it is very
sunny and quite hot, so you should prepare sunscreen and appropriate clothes for the
summer. In the afternoon it often rains, so you should bring an umbrella when going
out.
There are many beautiful beaches here, you can choose one of them. It is great to
watch the sunrise and sunset at the sea. Also you should try some seafood, it’s very
cheap and very tasty.
If you don’t like the sea, you can go to the mountains in the north of my country. It
will be cooler than it is at in the seaside. Once at the top of the mountains, you can
see the whole city. You’ll feel great.
Those are some of my suggestions. I think you’ll like them
I’ll be your dedicated guide. See you in my country.
Best wishes,
(Well done!)

these subjects, especially English. My teacher says English is very
important for our future job, so we need to learn it. Do you think English is
a difficult language to learn? How much time should I spend learning
English everyday? Can you give me some suggestions for studying this
foreign language better? By the way, I know your English is perfect, so can
we speak English on the phone together?”

Dear Jenny,
I was really happy to receive your letter. I hope you are doing well. I’m writing

it once you understand how to use this language. If you want to learn it better, you
should spend from 2 hours to 4 hours a day studying it , which helps improve your
skills.

been my dream since I was a child. However, this time I am so busy, I have
a lot of homework and tests to pass over. But I don’t want to stop the piano
class. What should I do?”

Write a letter to your friend to persuade him/her not to stop the piano class,
then tell him/her how to set time for hobbies and learning.
Dear Beethozart.
I’m happy to see that you were able to play a little basic song after taking took part in a piano
course class. You play very well. Looking at your fingers surf on frets makes me think that
you may become a pianist in the future and Ii know it isit’s your dream since when you were
was a child. To make the dream is come true, you must hardly practice hard, try to play more
and more difficult pieces sheets/arrengements, in order to improve your skill. more
techniquelyexactly, fluently and fastlyfaster. It’s make you spend more time for what???. I
am sorry to hear thatI regret when you say that in currently you are having e a lot of
homework to do to prepare for the final exam and you don’t have time and concentration to
practice piano. You should prioritize and must complete the last subjects to graduate in this
year to study abroad. It’s very important for your future to yourself, but you don’t want to
stop the piano course, Ii think it is the right decision it’s true decision because of some of
reasons. Firstly, becominge a professionalthe pianist is your dream, you need follow it if not
you will be disappointed. Secondly, you may be lost gradually lose your piano skills, you
have already obtained, a good foundation which many beginners do not have. you are
having a good skill which not all beginners have, therefore, if you spend more time to

birthday party. Today, I am writing the letter to talk to you about my last birthday
party.
My birthday party is as great as your birthday. I was very surprised when my family
members prepared a birthday party for me. It is decorated very beautifully with many
balloons, candles and flowers so it makes my home become romantic space. I received
many presents, especially 2 cakes, the first, my son gives me a cake made by her and
the second my daddy buys it in the bakery. At night, my friends go to my home and
we get together to eat buffet meat. Honestly, I cried crised because this is the first
birthday party that made me feel very happy and surprised.I really very enjoyed it, this
is good well memory memorable for me.
I hope that everything information I have written is useful for you.
Write to me soon if you want more information. I hope to see you soon.

Best wishes,

Trúc Thảo

How is everything going? I have finished my high school and I’m going to
come to your country to learn Vietnamese. In order to prepare for the trip
and the best time there, I would like something about the kinds of
 accommodation available. I also want to know whether it is possible for a
foreigner to get a part-time job in your country so that I can practice the
language.

Dear Jonh,

I was very happy when receiving your letter. I hope you are doing well and I
hope all your family is doing fine. I am glad to hear that you have finished high
school, and I believe that you will have a good experience when you come to
Viet Nam. Today, I am writing in response to the questions you raised me in
your letter.

I think when you come to Viet Nam, the accommodation suitable for you is
dormitory because it is very convenient and comfortable for you. In dormitory
have about 3-5 people in a room, so you can contact with your roomates. It is a
good method to practice your language. Regarding a part-time job, you do not
worry about it because in my country have many part time job suitable for
foreigner such as a teacher in center, a waiter in restaurant or work in coffee
shop is a good idea. You can find the part-time job easier on the website or on
Facebook. If you do the job I recommend above, you can improve your language
because you must contact with many people every day so it can help you expand
your knowledge, expand your understanding about Vietnamese- it makes you get
better to talk Vietnamease.

I hope that everything information I have written is useful for you.

Write to me soon if you want more information. I hope to see you soon.

Best wishes,
