Exercise 1: I went to the concert last night with my friends…
Dear Oanh,
Thank you very much for your letter which arrived a few days ago. It was
lovely to hear from you. I am sorry, I haven’t written for you such along time
because I studied hard to pass the final exam. However, I had agreat weekend
more than every when I went to live concerts last night with my friends. Now, I
am writing to tell you how the wonderful concert is.
It is the beautiful concert I have ever taken part in with many people and
the miracle of sound of piano. As you know, my pianist is Yiruma and in last
concert I couldn’t believe that he appeared in my eyes and gave me a big hug
after his performance. I also listen a soothing music which is played by him and
other professional musicians. Only when I heard his song from the stage I feel
anythings around me seem to disappear and I can fly with many stars on the sky
to forget all my fears which I suffered before. That is amazing.
Let’s come back to my live concert. It is so cool and until now I can’t
forget my feeling about it. Do you often to go live concerts? What kind of music
do you like listening to? Who is your favourite singer?
I am glad if you tell me about it in the next letter
I look forward to your reply
Your sincerely
Exercise 2: We had dinner at a new restaurant yesterday. ….
Dear Oanh,
Thank you very much for your letter which arrived a few days ago. It was
lovely to hear from you.
I think the restaurant which you told me in the letter is very interesting. I
also like to eat out and I usually go to a restaurant for dinner with my family
tiwce a month. Our favourite restaurant is a traditional restaurant in Hang Bong
street. It is not big but it is always busy. There are only afew tables in the
restaurant and on each table is a vase with lovely flowers. There are plants in the
room corners. I usually order the traditional dishes and eat them with rice. For
example, fish cooked with sauce, spring roll,…and vegetable and so on. The

good meal, we talked and listened romantic songs and danced together. We had
interesting and unforgetable night with friends. Ahh, Are you going to next
Friday? Don’t forget to send me some postcards from places where you will
come.
Goodbye and see you after you com back.
Exercise 5: Can you describle the weather in your country? What’s the weather
like at the monent? What outdoor activities are you able to do at this time of
year?
Dear Oanh,
It is so wet here. I am writing to tell you about the weather in my country.
In my country, it is in spring with high humidity. My country is a tropical
monsoon climate. Broadly speaking, the weather in Viet Nam is dicated by two
monsoon seasons the southwest monsoon from April to September and the
northeast monsoon from October t late March or early April. Moreover the
northeast monsoon effects bring lower temperatures to my city, Ha noi and all
days in Ha noi is in rain. In fact, I am fed up with rainy day because I can’t go
out to shopping with my friend. Only thing I can do in these days is writing
letter for you and tell you about the terrible weather here. All my clothes can’t
be dry and the way I go to school every day is daubed with mud

interesting experience that I could see that film in 3D. Everything seemed to
real. I was also moved by the content of the film. It is an epic romantic disaster
film. It is fictionalzed based on the account of the sinking of the Titanic.
Leonardo Dicaprio and Kate winslet stars in this film as members of diffirent
social classes who fall in love abroard the ship during its ill – fated mainden
voyage
It’s a litte bit silly when I cried a lots in the end of film, because the
female actor was dead

feeling when seeing this film.

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 discorver 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 m padoga. This pagoda was built in the 14
th
century and is palced on Ha
Khe hiiock 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’ xich lo’ and enjoined some special
food of hue. I had a lot os remember 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?

animals very much, so I am usually interested in watching programme’ the
animal wold’ in VTV2 channel. It is repeated at 9 pm on Monday everyweek.
This programme helps me broanden my knownledg about wild animals. Terrible
activities of human are destroying wildlife and our life. There are a lot of ired
forests fand a lot of skilled animals. I have a deep respest of nature, have all my
life, and will continue to and learn more. If you haven’t ever seen this

office. It will be not good to sit a fixed place. Thus I determined to do exercise
more frequently to keep the body healthy and the sportwhich choose is jogging
I enjoy jogging a lot because jogging helps me to be fitter and more
enduring. I think jooging gives us a lot of benefits not only for body but for
mind. It is the most efficient way os achieving fitness through exercise and
burns more calories because it is a high - impact exercise . Jogging is also very
good for your heart, improves the muscle tone and strength, and relieves stress,
beside also deal with heart disease.
I usually spend 2 hours to jog every afternoon with my friends. We often
make appointment each other at Thong nhat park to do exercise together. It is
much happier than doing alone.
And you, what is your favourite sports? Can you share you thinking about
it?
