Subject: Hi from Viet Nam

Hi Peter,

My name’s Phúc. I’m Vietnamese and I live in Ha Noi, a beautiful place in the north of the country. I live with my parents and have one sibling. I’m 20 years old and currently studying law at university. I’m in my second year, and I really enjoy it.

I’m about 1.65 meters tall with short black hair and brown eyes. I usually wear glasses when studying. I like to dress casually and keep things simple.

In terms of personality, I’m an introvert. I enjoy spending time alone but also like meeting close friends. People often say that I’m calm and thoughtful, and I believe I listen more than I talk.

In my free time, I enjoy reading books and listening to music. I also love exploring new places to eat and sometimes watching movies. On weekends, I spend time on hobbies like photography or hanging out with my friends.

Please write soon and tell me about you and your life.

Best wishes

Duc Phuc

I keep this photo in an album that I have in my room. Every time I look at it, I remember how happy we were on that trip and the special memories we made. It’s one of those moments that I cherish because we don’t often get to travel together as a family anymore.

This photo is important to me because it reminds me of the good times with my family. My parents worked hard to make the trip happen, and it was one of the best experiences we’ve had together. It makes me feel connected to them every time I look at it, even when we’re apart.

Dear Mrs. Sanders,

Thank you for your lovely letter. I’m very excited to come and stay with you in August. I’m sure it’s going to be a great experience, and I really appreciate your hospitality.

I’ll be arriving at Gatwick Airport on the 1st of August at 10:30 AM. From there, I’ll catch the train to Brighton as you suggested. I do have a mobile phone, so I’ll make sure to give you a call when I’m on the train.

Regarding your questions, I don’t have any specific dietary restrictions, and I don’t smoke. I’d prefer a single room, but I’m happy to share if needed. After the course, I’ll be staying in Brighton for a couple more days before returning to Russia. I’m really looking forward to meeting you and your family!

Best wishes,

Ivan

2. Hanoi is famous for its rich history, beautiful lakes, and delicious street food. Tourists love to visit the Old Quarter, where they can experience traditional culture and buy local souvenirs.

3. The weather in Hanoi can be quite extreme. In the summer, it is hot and humid, with temperatures often reaching 40°C. In the winter, it is cold and rainy, with temperatures dropping to around 10°C.

4. One of the best things about living in Hanoi is the mix of modern and traditional life. The city has many historical landmarks like the Temple of Literature, but also new shopping malls and modern skyscrapers.

5. I love living in Hanoi because it is a vibrant and lively city. There are always new places to explore, and the people here are friendly and welcoming.

Subject: Information about Thai Cooking Course

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to ask for more information about your Thai cooking courses in Chiang Mai. I am especially interested in the one-week course that takes place from April to October, as I would like to learn more about Thai cuisine.

Could you please provide details about the course schedule, the cost, and what is included in the accommodation? Additionally, I would like to know if beginners are required to bring any materials or equipment for the course.

Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Duc Phuc

Subject: Your Trip to My Country

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for your e-mail. It was great to hear from you again! I’m really happy that you want to visit my country.

I think the best month for you to come is July because the weather is warm and perfect for outdoor activities. You should definitely visit Ha Long Bay and Hoi An Ancient Town. Ha Long Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with stunning limestone islands, while Hoi An is famous for its historical charm and delicious food.

If I were you, I’d travel by bus because it’s affordable and convenient for exploring different places.

For Mendoza, you should spend at least three days there. There are plenty of things to do! I recommend staying at La Cabaña Hotel. It’s cozy, clean, and not too expensive.

I hope these suggestions help you plan your trip. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Best wishes,

Duc Phuc

The most beautiful building in my town is the Thăng Long Imperial Citadel. It is located in the center of Hanoi and is one of the most famous historical sites in Vietnam.

The citadel was built in the 11th century and was designed by talented architects of the Ly Dynasty. The construction was completed after several decades, and it became the political center of the country for many centuries.

The building is surrounded by ancient walls and gates, and inside, there are large courtyards, statues, and old towers. Visitors can also see beautiful frescoes and ancient artifacts in the museum.

One of the best things you can do here is to climb the Flag Tower, which is a symbol of Hanoi. From the top, you can enjoy a fantastic view of the city.

The citadel is free to visit, but you should dress appropriately to show respect for its historical importance.
