Date: Friday 16^th June - Subject: My first day at The Superb Summer Camp

Hi Mum and Dad,

Here I am at the Superb Summer Camp. Mr Lee asks us to write e-mails in English! Wow everything here is in English: There are 25 kids from different schools in Ha Noi. They are all nice and friendly. My new friends are Phong, James and Nhung. (I'm attaching a photo of us here). James has blond hair, and big blue eyes. He's cool, and creative. He likes taking pictures. He's taking a picture of me now! Phong is the tall boy. He's sporty and plays basketball very well. Nhung has chubby cheeks and curly black hair. She's kind. She shared her lunch with me today.

This evening we're having a campfire. We're singing and James is telling a ghost story! I hope it isn't too scary! Tomorrow we're doing a treasure hunt in the field. Then in the afternoon we're visiting a milk farm to see how they make mi d cheese and butter. I'm not sure what we're doing on the last day! Mr Lee hasn't told us yet. I'm sure it will be fun!

I miss you already. Please write soon.

Love,

Phuc

Read the passage and answer the questions

THE BEST TIME FOR APPLES

It was the first lesson after the summer holidays at a small school in England. The lesson was about the seasons of the year. "There are four seasons in the year", said the teacher. "They are Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. In Spring it is warm and everything begins to grow. In Summer it is hot and there are many flowers in the fields and gardens. In Autumn, there are many vegetables and much fruit. Everybody likes to eat fruit. In Winter, it is cold and it often rains. Sometimes there is snow on the ground."

Here the teacher stopped and looked at one of the pupils, "Stop talking, Tom" he said. "Now listen to me. Can you tell us when is the best time of apples?"

"Yes, sir," answered Tom. "It is when the farmer is not at home and there is no dog in the garden."

True (T) or False (F) questions.

_________ In the summer it is cold and there are many flowers in the fields and gardens.

Hi Nick,
How are you? I’m having so much fun here at English Camp. It’s a pity you can’t join us. It’s my third day here and I wish the camp would last a month!!! 
On the first day, we put up the tents. They held a tent competition, and although we tried our best, our team was only the runner-up. Guess what? I met Nam, our classmate, but we couldn’t talk much because he was in another team.
Before lunch, we played some team building games. It was exciting! In the afternoon we went fishing. Hung, a student from Luna School, is a really good angler. He caught ten fish while I caught none. However, we let them all go.
The second day, when we had a cooking competition, was also awesome. We had to draw lots to choose the dish we would cook. Hung did ours and we were asked to make sushi. Hung and I didn’t know how to make it, but lucky us - we had Chie in our team! She’s a student who comes from Tokyo and has lots of
experience making sushi. Our sushi won the first prize! It’s great that Chie taught us how to make this healthy dish.
Today there’s an English speaking contest on how to learn English successfully for non-native English speaking students. Hung’s giving a presentation on his top tips for learning English. I must go now. Chie and Hung are calling me. Until next time, 
Mi
