Your friend,

3/ Write a letter about a trip

Dear Hoa,

How are you? I hope you are studying hard for your exams next week.

My class has just returned from a trip to the Grand Canyon in Arizona. The Canyon is
part of Grand Canyon National Park and it was fermed by the Colorado River over
millions of years. We spent a week there and I didn't want to leave.

Although it was summer, it was quite cool at night because the area is more than 2,000
meters above sea level.

On our first day, a park ranger led us on a guided hike along the edge of the Canyon. He
talked about the history of the area. He also talked about the original inhabitants who
lived there during the Stone Age.

What do you plan to do during the summer vacation? Write to me after your exams.

Your friend,

Quan
