Dear Donna,
Thanks for your letter. I’m pleased to hear you had a happy Mother’s Day.
I received my second semester report last month. I got good grades for Geography, physics, Math, but my English and History results were poor. My teacher told me that I should improve English and History. I think I’ll have to study harder next school year.
In a few weeks we’re going to celebrate the Mid-Autumn festival. That’s a Moon festival in Autumn in Viet Nam. I’m going to Ha Long Bay with my aunt and uncle by bus this afternoon. I’ll send you a postcard from there.
Write soon and tell me all your news.
Love,
Lan
