Lá thư 1:

Dear Mary,

I'm fine. And you? I'm very glad writing letter to you. I will tell you about one of my most memorable past experiences. Last month, my mother told me to bring a raincoat before I went to school but I did not obey. When I went home, suddenly it rained. It rained more and more heavily. I decided to go home in rain without raincoat. That night, I'm seriously ill. I was pity when seeing my parents looked after me and worry about me.

I hope you won't do it as me. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Your friend,

Mai

Dear Jenny,

Last night I had a scary dream. I was walking along an empty street late at night. Suddenly a lion appeared at the end of the street. He ran toward me with his big mouth open and sharp teeth. He roared and jumped upon me. I screamed loudly and awoke. I'm still frightened now. By the way, how have similar problems now. Write to me as soon as possible.

Your friend,

Mai

Dear Alice,

How have you been doing? Have you got any plan for the coming school break? Perhaps I will go to see my parents in the countryside.

Let me tell you about my last summer vacation at my grandparents'. It was one year ago and was one of my most unforgettable experience.

There is a river at the back of my grandparents, and I often go swimming there when I spend my vacation with them.

One day when I was swimming with my friends, I suddenly caught a cold. I felt so dizzy and was too weak to continue. I thought I was going to drown but I couldn't call out for help. Luckily one of my friend saw that. He swam towards me and tried to pull me up. My life was finally saved.

Now recalling that moment I understand how precious life is. This event taught me to appreciate my life.

What about you? Have you got any unforgettable holiday that you would like to share with me?

With best wishes,

Son

Dear Long,

How have you been doing? Have you got any plan for the coming school break? Perhaps I will go to see my grandparents in the countryside. I haven’t seen them since my last school holiday.

Let me tell you about my last summer vacation at my grandparents’. It was almost a year ago and was one of my most unforgettable experiences.

My grandparents live in a small village in Trung Khanh. There is a large river at the back of their house where I often go swimming every afternoon when I spend my vacation with them.

One day when I was swimming with some of my friends, I suddenly caught a cold. I felt so dizzy and was too weak to continue swimming, so I started to sink. I thought I was going to drown but I couldn’t call out for help because I was too tired and terrified. Luckily, one of my friends saw that and shouted for help. Immediately, another friend who swims the best among us swam towards me and tried to pull me up. Then other friends swam towards us to help him push me in. My life was finally saved.

Now recalling the moment I thought I was going to die, I understand how precious life is. This event definitely taught me to appreciate my life.

What about you? Have you got any unforgettable holiday that you would like to share with me?

See you soon.
