It consists of four bed-rooms, a living-room, a bathroom with a shower, a dinning-room, a kitchen and a toilet. The living-room, which is rather large, is decorated with beautiful pictures on the walls. There, on Sundays and holidays my father usually spends his time playing chess or drinking tea with our new neighbour.

Write a letter about two things you have done and mention (kể ra) something unpleasant (khó chịu) which happened a few days ago. “ Dear Kate, We arrived here five days ago. In the early morning from HCM city, we got here by bus. On the way to Vung Tau resort, we met a lot of our friends, who also went there to escape from the terrible heat of a crowded city. We reached Vung Tau beach only to find that it had been packed with people. Although the beach was crammed with people, we still felt more relaxed by the fresh morning air coming in from the open sea. When we went to the seaside, we too could not resist the temptation to take off our clothes and put on our swimming costumes and then plunged into the sea. After we stopped swimming, we dug sand to catch little crabs which in no time darted into their sand holes. I met an accident when I caught a crab. My finger bled with a deep wound. In this way, I spent my holidays happily at Vungtau, a place I shall never forget. I hope that I may hear from you soon. See you Thanh Son” - You have just finished a short language course in Hanoi: what you did on the course, how you spent your free time and what the other people were like. “Dear William, I’ve just finished a short language course in Hanoi and I want to tell you all about it.

Thirty-five unique individuals make up my interesting class. Of course, there are some of us who are more popular than the others. First, there is fat Steven. He is the joker of the class. He cracks all kinds of jokes, even practical jokes. We also have a bookworm in the class. Xiaoming is a small boy with thick glasses. Wherever he goes, he will have a book with him. The most respected person in our class is our English teacher, Evelyn. She is rather tall for a lady, about twenty-four years of age, and I find her really slender. Her method of teaching differs somewhat from that of our other teachers. Her patience is wonderful she will never give up explaining until every one of us understands. She pays much attention in correcting our pronunciation and drills us in expressing ourselves in short English sentences.

So, the prepare carefully for the marriage ceremony. One day before the ceremony, both families build a frame made from coconut leaves in front of their houses. On the top of each frame, there is a small red board with these words in yellow: TAN HON at the groom's house and VU QUY at the bride's house. On the day of the ceremony, all the groom's family have to go to the bride's home on time because they chose the good time some months ago. The traditional gifts include betel and areca-nut, cake, and fruit. Then, the groom and the bride worship at the altar of ancestors. Next, the bride puts the ring onto the bride's finger, earrings into her ears, and a necklace onto her neck. The cost of jewelry depends on the groom's finances. The bride also puts a ring onto the groom's finger. After that, he brings her to his house. They sometimes have a small meal at the bride's house. On that evening, they have a wedding party at a restaurant with their relatives and friends. There is usually a band to play music during their mean. In the middle of the meal, the couple go around and go to each table to get wishes and gifts or money from their relatives and friends.
