Dear Peter, 
Thank you for your letter, I’m very glad to hear you had an enjoyable New Year vacation. 
I received my first semester report last week. I got good grades for all subjects except English. My English teacher asked me to improve it, especially speaking and writing. Can you show me how to study it well? I hope I’ll be better at this subject next semester. 
It is almost Tet . That’s the Lunar New Year Festival in Vietnam. Tonight, we’re going to Nghe An – our home village by train and celebrate the festival with my grandparents. I’ll send you a postcard from there. 
Write soon to me and tell all your news .

 Dear Tim, 
Thanks for your letter. I’m pleased to hear you had an enjoyable Christmas vacation. 
We received our first semester report a few days ago. I got good grades for Science, English and History, but my math result was poor. My math teacher asked me to spend more time on it. I must study harder next semester. 
It is almost Tet . That’s the Lunar New Year Festival in Viet Nam. I think I told you about it in my last letter. We’re going to Hue tonight to celebrate the festival with my grandmother. I’ll send you a postcard from there. 
Write soon and tell me all your news. 
 Regards, 
 Hoa
