A couple of months ago I, with my family, went to the Barossa Valley to have some relief from the city life. This was a great place indeed to get the desired relaxation. Wandering around the vineyards was the most excellent task that I ever undertook. All the other members were happy as well. This is a nice cue card topic for me and I will answer the remaining questions below.

I went there with my family, as I said before. I was accompanied by my wife Samantha and my daughter, Merry. I am an executive working with the marketing division of a multinational company while my wife is a school teacher. And Merry is in her fifth grade in the school. So, every one of us remains busy round the day and week and have less time for relaxation. Besides, getting day offs is also a troublesome issue for me. So, I intentionally persuaded them to manage leave from their respective tasks.

We had great fun there. The natural view of the valley was eye-catching and the place was filled with many other tourists like us. In fact, everyone needed some relief from their ordinary life. And this is the nearest place in Adelaide, Australia, to get some fresh air. Besides, we also enjoyed the walk in the valley, through the vineyards and some other attractive places. The stores set up in the area provided us with some of the classic stuff.

Honestly, I enjoyed there so much. My daughter was highly delighted to get such a place to visit and she was really amazed. We also visited the Barossa Historical Museum and Greenock Aviation Museum and the exhibitions were charming, especially the miniatures of aircraft. The tour was adorable indeed and I am planning to have some solo tour at the place.

Dear Kien,

Thank you for your last letter. I am happy to know that you have been well. Today I want to tell you about a vacation that I just went on. It started 3 days ago.

My family and I decided to go to Ha Noi to blow off some steam. It is the first time that we go there. We started at the Old Quarter. There were various types of delicious food for us to try. My favorite dish was the famous beef pho. I found a lot of shops that sell unique  After that, we saw the Sword Lake and the Turtle Tower. I had Trang Tien ice cream and it was so yummy! We also got to see the Temple of Literature and learned about the history of examinations in the past. It was an eye-opener for our family. If you want, I can tell you about it.

How was your summer holiday? I want to know all the details. I look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes,

Minh Nhat

Talk like and dislike about life in the countryside
Living in the countryside has a lot of advantages, but also many disadvantages. As the advantage we can consider the fact that the country is less polluted and the traffic isn't so heavy. You are fit and you don't need to worry about your health condition, because in the countryside the air and water are so clean. In the country there are many plant species. There aren't any huge blocks of flats, modern skyscrapers or bothersome traffic jams. In the country you are free to admire the breathtaking landscapes such as huge meadows, peaceful hills or forests. You can enjoy walking in the forest and picking mushrooms or hunting. Another advantage is that you may easily build a big house and the garden, because charges for ground are much lower than in the suburbs. Moreover, living in the countryside is cheaper than it is in the city, so you probably may afford many other things, because the prices are lower. What is more, you can invite your friends to the barbecue organized in your garden. It would be great! The other positive side is the safety. In the rural area the crime rate is much lower. There aren't a lot of housebreaks and the possibility of burglary is also lower. In the countryside people usually and keep eyes on neighbour's estates. They always react when something strange is happening. Country life is very peaceful and silent. You will enjoy the feeling of peace.

However, there are a lot of positive aspects of living in the country side, there are also some disadvantages. Living in the country is slower. People don't need to hurry and have a lot of time. People in the country don't have to work so many hours as they do in the city. On the other hand, they don't earn so much money. Moreover, there aren't such interesting things to do during free time. The unemployment rate is also much higher than in the city. The problem may be also the communication. If you don't have your own car, you may have problem how to commute to work. The same problem concerns the access to the hospitals, schools, police stations and shops, which are usually located far from the village. Last of all, there are some dangers connected with country life such as heavy snowfall or rainfall.

To sum up, I think that living in the country may have a lot of advantages such as fresh air, breathtaking landscapes and comfort, but a lot of people decide to stay in the city, due to the fact that the life in the town is easier. The easy access to shops and other institutions are the great advantage.

I have an unusual hobby: carving eggshells. I started this hobby four years ago after getting a carved egg from my dad when he came back from Japan. It's amazing that something as fragile as an empty eggshell can be made into such a beautiful piece of art. I was so amazed that I learned how to carve them myself from the internet. I find carving eggshells a little difficult but so interesting and useful. The feeling of accomplishment when I finish a piece is absolutely awesome. This hobby also helps me be more patient and careful.

Van Mieu (The Temple of Literature) was constructed in 1070 during Ly Thanh Tong's dynasty. Its original purpose was to honor Confucius. In 1076, the first university of Vietnam called Quoc Tu Giam (The Imperial Academy), was established within this temple by Emperor Ly Nhan Tong. That's the reason why the complex has the name of Van Mieu – Quoc Tu Giam up to now. Initially, Quoc Tu Giam was the school for princes and children of royal families and then expanded in the following year to admit top students from around the country.

Nowadays, Van Mieu – Quoc Tu Giam is one of the most famous tourist destinations for both Vietnamese people and foreigners. It's also a place to celebrate doctorates and high ranking scholars of Vietnam. One special thing about this place is that there are 82 Doctors' stone tablets. They are tombstones with names and origins of 1304 doctors placed on the backs of stone tortoises. If you come here at the beginning of the year or in May, when many important examinations take place, you will catch sights of numerous families and students who come and pray for luck.

Van Mieu – Quoc Tu Giam opens daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and the entrance fee for each adult is 30,000 VND.

Cooking is my favorite hobby. My grandmother taught me how to cook my first dish when I was 8. My family enjoyed it so much so that is when I started this hobby. Some people say cooking is a waste of time but I find this hobby very interesting and meaningful. I really love trying new food and cooking for my family. The feeling of making my family happy with my food is amazing. I often collect recipes from my mother and my grandmother. Sometimes I also get recipes from the internet. Then I write them in a notebook. I hope I will become a good chef and have my own cookery book in the future.

I have a nice time with my family in my vacation when I visited to Nha Trang. It's a pleasant and memorable trip. My aim is hava sense of freshness and newness.

Nha Trang, the capital of Khanh Hoa province, has one of the most popular minicipal beaches in all of Viet nam. I'm a visitors and i stay in the hotel near the beach for five days. In the morning, I go sight-seeing the beach, I chose this tourist destination mostly for stroll the beach-a chance to breath in the fresh sea air and enjoy the sunsise across the water. In nha Trang, nature beauties are so temping, clean white sands ang turquoise waters. I meet diffirent people, the locals are enthusiatic. I hit the town and eat many local specialties such as ball noodles, beef Lac Canh, fishing village, barbecue Nha Trang,....One atraction very interesting for me is a small islands Hon Tre is the largest of the islands, and monkey island is, as the name suggest the home of hundreds of wild monkey. yen island is known for its swifts nests. "Yen sao" is healthy food in Viet Nam.

In Nha Trang the weather is cool, harmonious with nature with friendly people have atracted tourist. I wish i had a chance to come here again.

Tôi có một khoảng thời gian tuyệt vời với gia đình trong kỳ nghỉ khi tôi đến Nha Trang. Đó là một chuyến đi dễ chịu và đáng nhớ. Mục tiêu của tôi là hava cảm giác tươi mát và mới mẻ.

Nha Trang, thủ phủ của tỉnh Khánh Hòa, là một trong những bãi biển nhỏ nổi tiếng nhất ở Việt Nam. Tôi là một du khách và tôi ở trong khách sạn gần bãi biển trong năm ngày. Vào buổi sáng, tôi đi ngắm cảnh biển, tôi đã chọn điểm đến du lịch này chủ yếu để dạo quanh bãi biển - cơ hội để hít thở không khí biển trong lành và tận hưởng ánh nắng mặt trời trên mặt nước. Ở Nha Trang, những vẻ đẹp thiên nhiên rất nhút nhát, cát trắng mịn thoa biển xanh ngọc. Tôi gặp những người khác, người dân địa phương rất nhiệt tình. Tôi trúng thị trấn và ăn nhiều đặc sản địa phương như bún, bò Lạc Canh, làng chài, thịt nướng Nha Trang, .... Một điểm hấp dẫn rất thú vị đối với tôi là một hòn đảo nhỏ Hòn Tre là hòn đảo lớn nhất, và khỉ đảo là, như tên cho thấy ngôi nhà của hàng trăm con khỉ hoang dã. đảo yên được biết đến với tổ yến của nó. "Yến sào" là thực phẩm lành mạnh ở Việt Nam.

Ở Nha Trang thời tiết mát mẻ, hài hòa với thiên nhiên với những con người thân thiện đã thu hút du khách. Tôi ước gì tôi có cơ hội đến đây lần nữa.
