Dear Mom,

I received your letter two days ago. I am very happy to hear Dad and Mom are well. I am well, too. Four days ago, I had a slight cold. I felt very unpleasant so I went to the doctor that evening. The doctor gave me some medicines. Now I feel better. Yesterday I had a medical check-up. The doctor weighed me, measured my height, took my temperature and listened my heart and checked my eyes and ears. Every thing was normal. Don’t worry about me, Mom. I know how to take care of myself.

The recess is over now. I must stop writing here. I miss Mom and Dad so much and I miss grandfather, too. Please send my regard to everyone.

Take care, Mom. Write again soon.

Love,

Hoa.

I had always dreamt of working in a bank because I thought I would earn a lot of money. I was told that I had to try hard to make my dream come true.

I burnt the midnight oil and finally had some success. First, I was accepted to a prestigious secondary school in Hanoi. There, I gained not only knowledge but also a number of skills including teamwork, cooperation, and interpersonal skills. I also become much more organized thanks to the mountains of work which had to be completed to meet the strict deadlines. I felt I was lucky to have such supportive peers and excellent teachers. My next achievement was when I gained admission to the Banking Academy of Viet Nam.

After three years, I graduated and was awarded a degree in banking. But I realized that I wasn’t suited to a nine-to-five job in a bank, even though I was still interested in the subject of finance. Feeling confused, I decided to talk to my parents and my closest friend. Interestingly, I learned that I had the qualifications, skills, and above all, the aptitude for a teaching career. And now I’m a lecturer for the Banking Academy where I graduated.
