Dear Khang ,
I am having a great time here in England . My university term doesn’t start until the autumn, so I am taking the opportunity to improve my English. I am staying with some English friends who own a farm. On weekends I catch a bus into Torquay to go to language classes. At weekends I help on the farm . At the moment they are harvesting the corn and they need all the help they can get . It’s quite hard work, but I like it. I am spending the winter holiday here at the farm. It gets very cold here in the winter, I think .
Write to me soon and tell me what you are doing these days.
Yours truly,
Tuan
