Dear John,
I’m very glad to hear news from you. I also spend all my day on watching TV. In my country, there are many programs on TV for all kinds of people at a variety of ages: for children, for teenagers, for the young and for the old. I really like these programs. And recently, I am very interested in one programs for the younger called “Who is the billionaire?” This program’s format is that one player need to answer all fifteen questions to be a winner and receive the prize up to 100 million Vietnam Dong. “Who is the billionaire?” is very useful because it provides me with a lot of knowledge in many aspects of life. I watch TV about one hour every day when I have dinner with my family and before I go to bed. In my country, people watch TV when they see that one program they like is on TV. I hope we will talk with each other more in next letter.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Best Regards,

Dear Jone,
It is glad to hear from you. I have 3 month holiday in the summer from June to August so that I will definitely visit your country in July. I still remember that I gave Peter best wish on his birthday in the last year and promised to meet him some day there in the future. It will be a nice time to attend his birthday and meet your friends and relatives.
Going camping is also my plan in the trip to your country this time. I trust that it is much more interesting to go with you. We will have a lot of fun then.

Dear Pat,
Viet Nam is a multi- cultural country with 54 different ethnic groups so there are so many festivals throughout the year, especially TET holiday which is the most important festival of Kinh group. TET festival, which is also called Lular New Year Festival often falls between late January and early February; it is among the most important holidays in Vietnam. Officially, the festival includes the 1st, 2nd and 3rd day in Lunar Calendar; however, Vietnamese people often spend about nearly a month to celebrate this special event. It is to thank Gods for the arrival of spring with a variety of blooming trees and flowers after a cold and harsh winter. Many activities are organized to celebrate the festival. Many kind of traditional food are made to welcomethe festival. I recommend you go to Vietnam on the TET festival to learn about our culture. I will take you around to see the festival.
Best regards,

Dear David,
I am really glad to hear that you will visit my hometown. It is very far from the airport to my home. You have to get off the plane at Tan Son Nhat airport in Ho Chi Minh city. You can go to Vung Tau by taxi, car, or bus. It takes about two hours. The bus is very cheap, but you will have to catch 2 trips. Taxi is the most convenient way. However, you have to pay more for a taxi than a car. I think moving by car is most suitable for you.
About the weather, it is dry season here, so you should bring sun shirt with long Sleeve. My country is tropical climate, It is always hotter than yours.
Hope to see you in Ho Chi Minh city.
Yours!
