Trang 15Dear Minh, I’m writing to tell
you a piece of news The first term is coming to an end soon and my
school is going to have some days off On this occasion, my class is
visiting some caves near Hanoi as we have recently studied rock
formations Besides, many of us have never been inside a cave, so I
suppose the trip will be very interesting
At first, we wanted to travel to Thay Pagoda because it is only over 20 kilometres away, and we could go on a day excursion However, only today have we learnt that the caves near Thay Pagoda are closed until after Tet So we are visiting the ones near Huong Pagoda instead A night campfire on a two-day trip will be a great event in our school days! To make the trip cheap, we are bringing our own food and sharing buses with some other classes
It is much warmer now I believe we’re going to enjoy good weather with lots of sunshine
The only problem I seem to have is getting
my parents’ permission They may not want to let me stay the night
away from home I’ll try to persuade them That’s all for now Give my love to your parents and sister
Yours,
Lan
