December 8, 2008 Dear Hoa,

Thanks for your letter I’m very glad that you and your family are fine I’m fine , too I like hearing about your school I find it

really interesting.

Now I’m writing to tell you about the place I live It’s a beautiful village on a river My house is small but beautiful with a small yard and a large garden The view from my bedroom window is wonderful We can see the large garden with a lot of flowers and vegetables and some fruit trees In the far distance is a large

paddy field and the river.

In my village, there is an old temple, a common house, a stadium,

a swimming- pool and a market The boys in my class really like the stadium and the swimming- pool because they often play

soccer and swim there after school For me, the old temple is the best place It’s very quiet and the scenery is beautiful.

Would you like to come to my village? And can you tell me about your neighborhood ?

Write to me soon.

Your friend, Mai
