favorite singer is Son Tung MTP. She loves cooking and she is very good at
cooking fish. At present, An is a student of Banking university. She studies

Dear Audrey,
I’m writing to tell you about my new puppy. I have decided to give it a nice
name, Pluto. It was a wonderful gift from my parents on my birthday three
weeks ago. I have little time to play with it because I am very busy with my
study. I consider Pluto as a friend and I am happy to see it every day. I have no
difficulties looking after it. When playing with Pluto, I feel relaxed and
comfortable. I hope you will come here this summer to play with me and Pluto.

Dear Sam,

I’m writing to tell you about the most popular festival in my country. All
Vietnamese people love the Mid-Autumn festival. This festival is held on the
15th day of the 8th Lunar Month. This festival is important because it is a
chance for parents to make up for lost time with their children. We often eat
moon cakes and carry colorful lanterns. If one day you could come and see the
festival in my country, I would be happy to join you.

Dear Jane,

I am writing to tell you about our English class. I am very unhappy to hear that
you broke your leg. How are you now? Is everything all right? You should read
the book "Seven steps to summer" because it has a lot of funny stories and cute
pictures. The final test will include four skills (listening, speaking, reading and
writing). It will be held at the end of this month. You should visit the website

Dear Tom,
I am writing to tell you about a gap-year off college in your country, the USA.
Honestly, I am worried about where to stay in the USA. Would you suggest
some places for me to stay? If possible, please help me find a cheap hostel. I
would be very happy if you recommend a job so that I can earn some money. I
think I can work for a restaurant or a coffee shop as a waiter. Please tell me
what skills I need to work for restaurants or coffee shops in your country. Also,
my English is not very good. I am not good at listening to English. Can you
suggest some ways to improve listening skill?
