9. Write your message (70-80 words) using your plan from exercise 8
Hi! My name is Bao and I’m from Viet Nam. I’m sixteen years old and I was born and grew up in Ho Chi Minh City. We have lived here for 10 years. My family has four people, my parents, my brother, and me. I am a big fan of reading books and exploring new things. I would like to have an English penfriend because I have a great passion for learning languages, especially English. Moreover, my teacher also encourages me to have a pen friend because it will help me improve my English writing skills. I usually get a B for my writing test. I also have an opportunity to know more about your culture. I am extremely curious about how your country celebrates Tet every year. In Vietnam, Tet is the biggest event and we all look forward to it to gather together and receive lucky money. Would you mind telling me more information about that?
