Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing this email to inquire about how to become a member of the Don ca tai tu Club. I saw the advertisement and I am very interested in joining the club.
First, I would like to know more about the activities that the club offers. Do you have instrument classes or workshops in addition to singing? I am a beginner and I am interested in learning more about the traditional folk singing.
Second, I wonder if there are any age or skill level requirements for joining the club. I am not very experienced in singing or playing instruments, but I am very passionate about traditional folk music.
Finally, I would like to know if there is a membership fee and if so, how much it is. Also, are there any upcoming events or performances that I can attend before deciding to join?
Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Lan.

Xin chào, Anita,
Hôm qua mình đã đến một chợ thực phẩm. Họ có rất nhiều thức ăn khác nhau từ khắp nơi trên thế giới. Tôi đã ăn bánh taco và một ít cơm rang. Tacos là một loại bánh mì kẹp từ Mexico. Chúng gồm thịt lợn, thịt bò hoặc thịt gà, và các loại rau trong một loại bánh mì, được gọi là tortilla. Chúng thực sự rất ngon. Mình hỏi người phục vụ nơi mua một ít bánh ngô để làm bánh taco của riêng tôi. Anh ấy bảo tôi đến siêu thị trên phố Grove. Mình nghĩ mình sẽ làm món tacos gà cay với đậu rán và salad.
Bạn có muốn đến nhà mình vào thứ Ba để thử chúng không?
Bạn của bạn,
Jasmine
