Dear Lan,
I live with my family in a house on Tran Hung Dao Street. My house is not large but it's very nice. There are a living room, two bedrooms and a small ketchen in my house. In front of the house, there is a small yard with some flowers and plants. My sister and I share one bedroom. From our bedroom's window, I can see a lot of houses, trees and a top of a church. My house is not far from my school - it's about one kilometer so I go to school by bike. In my neighborhood, there are a large stadium, a restaurant and a swimming pool. As you know, I enjoy swimming therefore I like the swimming pool best. I go there every afternoon.
I have to do homework now, so I'll say goodbye. Please write to me as soon as you can and tell me all about your life.
Sincerely,
Dung.
