My best friend, Na learned English at school and university many years ago. She is now studying English again in London because she’s forgotten a lot of it. Na really needs English for her job. She works for an international bank in Hanoi. Her speaking and reading are excellent. She just wants to improve her writing skill so that she can write normal letter in English. In Na’s opinion the aspect of learning English she finds most difficult is listening. It’s her biggest problem. People speak very quickly and she can’t understand them. Although she has difficulty in studying this language, she likes it a lot. She said it was an interesting language and she could talk to people from all over the world… and she could understand the words of her favorite song, too.

Dear Lan,

Thank you very much for your letter of September 5^th. I am glad to know that you are in good health, as I am, too.

It was very interesting to read about the celebrations of September 1^st in Vietnam.

We have some interesting holidays in England. The first is New Year’s Day, on the 1^st of January, when we send good wishes to all our friends for a Happy New Year.

But children like Christmas Day most of all. It is on December 25^th. We get presents from our parents and friends on that day. We decorate the Christmas Tree with lights and toys and we sing Christmas songs. The day after Christmas Day is also a holiday. For Christmas we also send Christmas cards to our friends to wish them a Merry Christmas.

On a Sunday in the middle of March, we have Mothering Day. This is a holiday for all mothers. They do not work at home on that day, and their children bring them flowers and presents.

Well, I have told you some of our English holidays. Soon it will be Christmas and then New Year. So I send my letter now and wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Yours truly,

Helen

        In my opinion, using the computer as your hobby can be harmful to both your health and your social life. Firstly, sitting all day in front of the computer can cause health problems such as eye-tiredness and obesity. Secondly, you may get irritated easily. Besides, if you use the computer too much, you will not have time for our family and friends. In short, computers should only be used for a limited time.
