Dear Popeye,

How are you? I have just received your letter. I'm very pleased to hear that you're going my house for this summer vacation. We'll visit Dong Thap University where I'm studying, have a picnic at Van Mieu park, go to Vinafood mart. I'll make salad spinach with Mayonnaise. I'm sure that we'll spend a good time together. Cao Lanh city have changed so much since you studied abroad in New York. Therefore, I'm writing to tell you how to get to my house from Cao Lanh Coach Station.

When you come out of the coach station, turn right. You'll see the first stop light on Ly Thuong Kiet Street, turn left. Then go straight on Nguyen Hue Street. Have a bridge near a supermarket, go over it. Continue going straight on Pham Huu Lau Street for three or four kilometers, you'll easily see Dong Thap University on your left hand. My house is opposite it. In front of my house is ABC photo shop. I have enclosed a map so that you can follow my directions easily. You can also ask people there for the above address, they willing help you. Take care because of many intersections.

Call me when you come to Vietnam, we'll plan for the vacation more details. Looking forward your reply soon.

Love,

Olive

Dear ....,

How are you? Thanks for your letter. I am so happy because you always miss and think of me. I have just come back home from Hue. In this trip, I went to by train because it is cheap and safe . That was a really interesting trip. Hue is known for its beautiful imperial architecture and wonderful natural beauty, especially the length of history of Nguyen dynasty. I think that Hue is the only city in Vietnam that still has restored historic beauties with of walls, places, and royal tombs. Everything in Hue city make me impressed and surprised. Perfume rives is very poetic and peaceful. It always make me feel comfortable and relaxing. In this trip, my father and I were on a boat in this river to listen to hue songs every night. The melody of Hue songs is always very special. I love Hue songs very much. The trips lasted 2 days. In the first day, we went to visit Tu Duc tombs. It is a large and bulky structure. We spent all day to discover this historical Structure. There are a lot of famous tomb in Hue but because os limited time we only visited Tu Duc tombs. The following day, we came to Thien Mu pagoda. This pagoda was built in the 14th century and is placed on Ha Khe hillock area near the perfume river. It is also known as Linh Mu pagoda. This is one of the most beautiful and acient architectural structures for reverence in Hue. After that, we went around the city by cyclo and enjoined some special food of hue. I had a lot of memories in this trip and I hope I will have more times to visit Hue in the future. And you? Have you ever visited Hue city? Let me about your impression about Hue.

Lovely,

...
