Thanks for your letter. It's very interesting to know about schools in the USA. I think schools in Viet Nam are a little different. Vietnamese students usually wear uniform. Classes start at 7.00 each morning and end at 11.15 in the afternoon. Students have a 30-minute break after three periods. At break time, many students play games. Some go to the canteen and buy something to eat or drink. Others talk together. Our school year lasts for 9 months, from September to May. Then we have a 3-month summer vacation. We feel too much long to come back to school to meet friends. I hope to know more about schools in your country.

Hogwarts is a very special school: it is a school for young witches and wizards. It is located near a lake in Scotland, but its students come from Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales. School begins on September 1, and students all get on a special train in London to go to school together. Hogwarts is a boarding school, so students have classes and live at the school. They have to wear robes as their uniform. Each student has an owl for a pet. The owls also carry letters from families. All students play a sport called the quidditch, a kind of flying soccer. Players try to hit the ball with a stick while mounting their flying brooms.
