Dear Minh,
Thanks for your letter. I’m pleased to hear you had an enjoyable Halloween party.
We received our first semester report a few days ago. I got good grades for Geography, Physics and Math, but my English result was poor. The teacher told me to spend more time improving my English and History. I must study harder.
How is your result in school? Do you have any difficulties in learning a foreign language? Please tell me all your news.
It is going to be Christmas tomorrow. Do you have any plan for the holiday? I hope to see you then.
Yours truly,
Lan
