Dear Susan,

It’s been a long time since the last time I wrote to you. A new year is coming, so I wish you and your family happiness and health. My family spent a cheerful holiday in our cozy house. In New Year Eve we had a big party with all my relatives, we got together, talked, sang and waited for the Ñrst moment of New Year 2012. During this holiday I knew more about some interesting customs of our country that I really want to share with you. Those are the things that we should do to bring good luck for a new year. The Ñrst thing is that eating black-eyed peas are said to bring richness and safety to the coming year. Another interesting custom is eating pork on New Year’s Day because pigs eat moving forward. Therefore, those who eat pork will move forward, too. One more thing is we consider cabbage as another "good luck" vegetable. Cabbage leaves are also considered a sign of prosperity because we believe that cabbage is the symbol of paper money. I know that you come from Viet Nam and your lunar new year is coming soon. I hope to learn more about the things you often do and your customs to bring lucks on Tet holiday.

Dear Susan,

In New Year Eve we had a big party with all my relatives, we got together, talked, sang and waited for the first moment of New Year 2012.

In the modern life, there is an increase in the people leave the countryside and migrate to the city. The objective reason is that in the city, it brings them comfortable life and favorite job. Subjective causes are due to the following disadvantages rural areas bring about push residents away. To begin with, there is no denial that rural infrastructure is not modern and advanced. Roads are quite narrow and degraded. Schools, hospitals are not cared much and remodeled. Especially the quality teachers and doctors here are just little so the inhabitants have less opportunity to develop in all way than in the urban area. Last but not least, the biggest disadvantage in rural areas is that job opportunities are so race. The main job is craft, farming, which bring a relatively small income. With that salary, we can only live through the day, not afford for services, shopping, entertainment… In conclusion, besides the positive aspects, life in the countryside is very much. disadvantage. We all need to consider carefully before choosing where to live.

Dear [Pen Friend's Name],

I hope this letter finds you well. I wanted to take the time to update you on the situation here in Nigeria. Recently, our country has been facing several challenges including political instability, economic downturn, and security concerns. The government has been taking steps to address these issues, but progress has been slow.

Dear [..........],

I hope this email finds you in good health and high spirits. It has been a while since we last corresponded, and I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you the wonders of my beloved city, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. I am confident that it will captivate your senses and leave you with unforgettable memories.

Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon, is a bustling metropolis that harmoniously blends tradition and modernity. It is the largest city in Vietnam and a vibrant hub of culture, history, and excitement. The city is home to a remarkable array of places of interest that I am eager to introduce to you.

One of the must-visit places in Ho Chi Minh City is the iconic Ben Thanh Market. It is not only a bustling marketplace where you can find an array of local products, but it is also a cultural symbol of the city. Be prepared to immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere and indulge in delicious street food while bargaining for unique souvenirs.

Another notable landmark is the historic Cu Chi Tunnels, a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of the Vietnamese people during the Vietnam War. These intricate underground tunnels served as a strategic base during the conflict and are now open to visitors. Exploring the tunnels will give you a glimpse into the country's rich history and the challenges faced by its people.

Ho Chi Minh City is also famous for its stunning architecture, with the Notre-Dame Cathedral and the Central Post Office being prime examples. These magnificent structures are a testament to the city's colonial past and are a must-see for any visitor.

To fully experience the charm and energy of Ho Chi Minh City, I would highly recommend exploring its vibrant street life. Take a stroll around the bustling streets of District 1, where you can find an array of trendy cafes, local eateries, and stylish boutiques. The city comes alive at night, with bustling night markets and a vibrant nightlife scene that offers something for everyone.

Now, onto the exciting part! I would like to extend a warm invitation for you to visit Ho Chi Minh City. I believe that experiencing the city firsthand would provide you with a unique perspective and a truly enriching cultural experience. I am eager to show you around and introduce you to the local cuisine, traditions, and hidden gems.

To make your visit more convenient, I would suggest planning your trip during the dry season from December to April. The weather during this time is pleasant and ideal for exploring the city's attractions.

Getting around Ho Chi Minh City is relatively easy. One popular mode of transportation is the motorbike taxis, known as "xe om," which can quickly navigate through the city's bustling streets. Grab and other ride-hailing apps are also widely available and offer a convenient and affordable way to move around the city.

I hope this email has sparked your curiosity and ignited a desire to explore Ho Chi Minh City. I am eagerly awaiting your visit and cannot wait to share the beauty and charm of my city with you.

Please let me know when you plan to come, and I will be more than happy to assist you with any further information or arrangements.

Wishing you all the best and looking forward to your visit!

Warm regards,​

Vo Tai Minh Vy
