Dear Khang , 

I am having a great time here in England . My university term doesn’t start until the autumn, so I am taking the opportunity to improve my English. I am staying with some English friends who own a farm. On weekends I catch a bus into Torquay to go to language classes. At weekends I help on the farm . At the moment they are harvesting the corn and they need all the help they can get . It’s quite hard work, but I like it. I am spending the winter holiday here at the farm. It gets very cold here in the winter, I think .

Write to me soon and tell me what you are doing these days.

Yours truly,

     Tuan

Dear Lucy,

How are you? My family and I are fine here. Hope you are fine, too.

I am interested in learning to play a musical instrument.  I do not know which instrument to choose. I was thinking of learning to play  the piano like many of my friends. However, my father suggested that I try something different. So, I tried the guitar but my fingers hurt. My sister suggested the violin But I think it would be hard. Lastly, my brother suggested that I play drums, but my mother disagreed because it would be too loud and noisy.

I know you play some instruments. That is why I am asking you for your advice.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Your friend,

Nadia
