3. Thank you for your letter. It’s very interesting to know about schools in the USA. I think schools in Vietnam are a little different. Vietnamese students usually wear school uniform. Classes start at 7 o’clock each morning and end at 11.15 in the afternoon. Students have a thirty-minute break after three periods. At break, many students play games.
