There are ten mistakes in this letter. Can you find and correct them? Dear Mira, It's great knowing that you're coming to Viet Nam. What a pity you can only spent one day in Ha Noi. There are so many interesting places in the city, but I think within one day you should be able visit three places. The first I suggest is Viet Nam National Museum of History. You like history so it's a must-see place. There's a extensive collection of artifacts tracing Vietnam's history. They are arrange chronologically from primitive life to modern times. The second place is Hoan KiemLake. It's one of the symbol of Ha Noi. There you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and visit Ngoc Son Temple. You can also have look at the Old Quarter. Wander around the old streets and some ancient houses explore Vietnamese culture. Conveniently, these places are closed to one another, so we can walk around easily. Tell me when you're come so I can show you around these places. Look forward to seeing you soon. Thuc Anh
