Dear Hoa,

     I'm Lan, and today, I visited Hanoi with my family. It is the capital of Vietnam, and it is also said to be a city of a thousand years of civilization. It was very nice today, but it was a bit hot because it was almost summer now. There were many people there, everyone was very friendly and polite. My family stays in a hotel. In the morning, we went to the amusement park, we were swinging, swinging, and also playing roller coaster. After that, we went to the zoo, there were many diverse animals. There are scary animals like bears, lions, tigers, leopards, ... but there are cute animals like zebras, giraffes, pandas, peacocks, ... In the afternoon, we go out. West Lake water pills and swim there. It was really fun. At night, we will go to the Aquarium to watch the beautiful colorful fish. Right now, I am in the hotel and watching TV. The trip was really great.

I wait for your letter!

Your best friend,

Lan

Dear Friend, I am in a beautiful place. This place is Majorca. There is amazing. The weather is great. The Sun is shining all day long. There is so hot and I like it.

Hi,
What about telling us about your holidays?
As for me I spent a week in Turkey. I took the plane in Paris and flew for three and a half hours to Izmir. There a woman was waiting for us to drive us by bus to Kusadasi (pronounced kouchadaseu). She is a French woman who married a Turkish man five years ago. She is from Lievin, in the North of France. She confessed that her husband followed her to France but he didn't get used to the weather. It was a bit too wet and too cold for him. So, they went back to Turkey. He then became the manager of a hotel (not the one we went to) and she started working for a holidays group at the hotel where we went.
We arrived in the afternoon at the hotel which is based very close to the sea. How wonderful it is to have meals almost on the beach, listening to the waves and looking at the sun downing in the evening. We could have a glass, then go to the beach and as soon as we were thirsty come back to the bar and have another glass before swimming a little. It was very comfortable. I loved it.
Concerning the site, it was very beautiful. The beach was in front of us and on the right side, we had a view on the mountains. We even took a boat to some little beaches on the edge of these mountains. The water was like a warm bath.
And you'd say, what about Turkish people? They are really nice. They don't speak a lot of French, but if you can speak English, I assure you you can spend good time with them. I had the feeling that they didn't know what to do to please us. I have never met so nice people. I advise you to go there, really, you'll come back with so many souvenirs in your minds.

Dear Nguyen, my best friend.

How are you? I want to write to you to tell you about my summer holiday.

I went to visit my grandparents. After that, I went out very happily at the park with my dear family. At dinners, I gather with my family and I hear a lot of funny stories that my parents tell.

But besides that, I also have to prepare for my new school year, and every year. I was sent to extra school by my parents, and I met many new friends and very lovely teachers.

Although summer vacation is actually not fun with games, I feel very happy and wish it was forever summer so that I could rest, play and study so comfortably.

How was your summer vacation, Nguyen? Is it fun? I look forward to the feedback from you, my best friend!  

I wish you and your family well. Write back to me!

Your best friend

Choose a city. Imagine you have just arrived in that city and want to tell your friends about it. Make notes below.

+I arrrived 2 days ago.

Fruit and vegetables are a vital source of vitamins and minerals and should make up just over a third of the food we eat each day. It's advised that we eat at least five portions of a variety of fruit and vegetables every day.

There's evidence that people who eat at least five portions a day have a lower risk of heart disease, stroke and some cancers.

Eating five portions is not as hard as it sounds. Just one apple, banana, pear or similar-sized fruit is one portion (80g). A slice of pineapple or melon is one portion. Three heaped tablespoons of vegetables is another portion.

Having a sliced banana with your morning cereal is a quick way to get one portion. Swap your mid-morning biscuit for a tangerine, and add a side salad to your lunch. Have a portion of vegetables with dinner, and snack on fresh fruit with natural plain yoghurt in the evening to reach your five a day.

For more tips on getting your five portions of fruit and veg, check out our 5 A DAY page.

In our country, summer holiday is the longest holiday in a year. I often went to sea with my family and my relatives every summer holidays. But last summer, my parents allowed me go to sea with my friends. I had many memories with my friends and it made impression on me.
The trip had seven people; four boys and three girls. We learnt primary school together. So far we have been close friends. We spent three days on holiday. On holiday, we only slept four hours a day and the rest time we went swimming, went sightseeing
At the morning, we got up at half past four o’clock to see sunrise. It was very peaceful and calm in early morning. After that we went swimming. In the evening, we went along seaside. At that time the wave seemed gentler than it was in the afternoon. The later it was, the more people the beach had. Everybody looked happy. We took many photographs and had a lots of sea foods. All of us were indeed happy.
At the last day, there was a small problem with me. I had stomachache. Maybe I was not suitable with sea foods. Fortunately I bought medicine, so I took a medicine and I was ok.
After three days, we came back home. I think it was great time in my life.

Last year , on summer holiday , when I had just passed the entrance exam to Ha Noi University of technology , my father took me to Ho Chi Minh city for a few days . As being eager for the trip , I prepared many things such as clothes , camera ... Eventually it came . When we got on the plane , I was very glad and the flight took off pricise time . Unlike almost everyone who felt ill at the beginning of the flight , I felt very comfortable . When the plane was floating in the air , I looked over the windown of the plane . Oh , I saw an incredibly beautiful scene . Everything was only lights that were sparkling and subtle . Two hours and a half later , we arrived in Ho Chi Minh city . We caught a taxi to go straight to my uncle’s house which nearly the airport . Next day , we woke up early , preparing to visit the city on my uncle’s motorbike . Who didn’t know that the streets in HCM city were as crowded as in HN city and I found that everyone was in a hurry . First , we stopped at DamSen water park where I enjoyed many aquatic games like slipping from a whirl of water , slithering in gutter , rolling with water and so do on . After that , we had a excellent lunch there . The foods was arranged as a party with many , many dishes : grill leg of turkey , bacon , beef , big crab , lobster , salmon , tuna , etc with various drinks such as cocacola , pepsi , beer and some wine made from grapes . After a while , my belly was full but I still was eatting some dessert . There are some dessert to choose such as melon , grapes , pear . Finally , I got a cup of coffee . I was very relaxed by flourve of it . Next , we slept for a long time and then drove motorbike in the streets about nightfall .We went snowly by motorbike and there were so many fun gave me on the day . Nightlife was animate . All shop was being opened with colourful lights , many vehicles were going in the streets and some people were going on foot in pavement to the streets became bustling and clamourous . About ten o’clock , we went back home to ready for next day that is enjoyable . It’s joyful memory . Furthermore , it’s reward to me for I passed one's examination to studying at HUT so it remind me that I must try to study very well
