Dear Albert, I am so pleased that you are going to visit my country You will need to know a variety of new things so I will try to give you as much information as I can You should visit Vietnam in autumn It is the best time during a year when the weather is really mild - not too hot and not too cold People like autumn because it shows us the most interesting features about Hanoi Coming to Hanoi, you can travel around the city by cyclo or electrical car These means of transport are cheap and available everywhere You can go shopping anytime at your convenience Shops usually open from a.m to 10 p.m Old Quarter can be a good suggestion for you You may also easily find a restaurant with traditional food in the streets If you want to go sightseeing, you can choose Old Quarter in Hanoi, Halong Bay, Sa Pa, Da Lat or many other places You can set up the trip by yourself or you can receive the service from many tourist agencies Finally, I am looking forward to seeing you in Vietnam Yours, Topic 2: In your last letter, you said you had made some changes to your room What does it look now? What new furniture have you got? Tell me about it! In the previous letter, I told you that I was having a special thing which I promised to share with you in this letter Do you want to know what it is? You know, sometimes new things make our life more interesting Thus, last Sunday, I decided to make some changes to my own room and now it looks so amazingly beautiful! I bought flowery paper-hangings to change the colour of the room The bed was separated with the desk by a new curtain made from thousands of colourful paper stars Hopefully that will prevent me from feeling sleepy when looking at the bed! I also asked my father to buy me a small book-shelf so that I could arrange all of my books on it I was really happy with that meaningful Sunday and with what I did for my room Topic 3: I guess there are many traditional festivals in your country What’s the most important one? Why people celebrate this festival? Write and tell me about it! TET is one of the most important traditional festivals in our country It usually takes place at the end of January or the beginning of February to welcome a new year It is a national holiday so people are all off from work Everyone who live far from home will come back home during TET holiday It is the time for the whole family to gather and relax after a hard-working year People prepare many things for TET For example, we often make Chung cake - a symbol of Vietnamese TET holiday and redecorate houses with peach tree or yellow apricot blossom During Tet holiday, people spend time visiting relatives and friends, give best wishes to them and give lucky money to children For me, Tet is the time to take a rest to regain energy and start a new year with new success and happiness Topic 4: I’ve just bought a new computer Do you like playing games on the computer - or have you got a play Station? What else you use the computer for? Finally, my dream of having my own computer has had come true Thanks to this machine, I can many useful things both in study and in entertainment As for study, from now on, my exercises and other important documents will be typed instead of handwritten That will help me save much time in formatting the layout and correcting spelling or grammatical mistakes Also, when the computer is connected to the Internet, I can broaden my knowledge and find necessary information easily just by a click When I have spare time, I may use my computer to play some games to relax Another good way to entertain yourself is listening to music or watching some funny movies though the computer Computer is such a good friend for everyone!
