Send Linh,
how are you? I have just moved with my family to live in the city for a short time. I don't think it's like our hometown here.
It's too noisy and stuffy here. There are many houses that are very tall and stand close together. Every house is beautifully painted and beautifully decorated. The road here is also many times wider and bigger than our village road, but sometimes it's stuffy because of traffic jams. And the people here are not as friendly as our hometown people. Perhaps because their busy work has dominated their lives.
I miss you very much and miss our memories in the countryside. But I guess I'll stop writing here because it's time to take extra classes. Someday I will have time to write to you again.
Hope to hear from you,
Linh's friend
Kien

Dear Minh Thu,

I am having a good time with my family in Hanoi. Hanoi is fantastic! There are so many interesting places to visit here. I love Quoc Tu Giam the most. It's a very famous place to foreigners and Vietnamese people. I had eaten a lot of street foods here. They're cheap and delicious. The weather is perfect too. Tomorrow we'll visit Uncle Ho's Mausoleum. It's great!

Love,

Huyen
