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
