Dear Son,

How are you? We hope you are all well It was a great pleasure to meet you last year and we all had great time, on both occasions Ha Long Bay is so beautiful; it was worth seeing it again Next time, we might book an overnight trip round the bay so that

we can venture farther out and see more Thank you very much for showing us around when we were

there

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
