Dear Daria
Lovely to hear from you after so long. It’s great to know that you are still healthy and happy, as you always are. And it’s even greater to know that you are planning to come to study in Ho Chi Minh city as an exchange student next year! You’ll never know how elated I was after hearing that news! I almost JUMPED with joy! If only you had seen my mom’s face at that time! She stared at me as if I had had some kind of mental illness…Okay, I think that’s enough for my silly feelings, let’s get down to business. I will give you some basic information about my place so that you won’t encounter so many problems when living here.
First thing first, you will need a place to live in, and you can live at my house. I’ve asked my parents and they all agreed. I’m more than willing to share the room with you, and we can play video games together all night long! (Even though I know that I am no match for you …). You also want to find a part-time job too, don’t you? As far as I know, there’s an English center near my house which is thirsty for foreign teachers. I think you stand a very good chance of having that part-time job, so I think you should go for it!
I almost forgot, you’ll have to find a place to learn Vietnamese! Fortunately, my university (Ho Chi Minh city of pedagogy) has some evening classes for foreigners to attend. This won't be a big problem anymore when you learn Vietnamese here! The teachers are totally great!
As the letter is getting rather long, I will have to stop now. Can’t wait to see you in Vietnam!
All my love,
Uyen.
