Hi Nam,

Thank you for your email and the description of your city. Now I am going to tell you about my city, Hanoi. Hanoi is the capital of my country, Vietnam.

It is located in the center of North Vietnam. It's a very big and developing city. Hanoi is very beautiful. There are many famous places of interest such as One Pillar Pagoda, the Temple of Literature, Hanoi Opera House, President Ho Chi Minh’s Mausoleum, etc. We can also walk around Hoan Kiem Lake to enjoy the sights of the city. I also ride a bike around the West lake and look at the sunset at the weekend. There are many modern shops and café here too. I sometimes go shopping with my friends or my family members. Moreover, there is a big national stadium, My Dinh stadium, so I can go there to watch a soccer match with my dad.

Actually, Hanoi is a very amazing place to live. I hope you can visit it on the next summer holiday. I will be your tour guide.

I’m looking forward to seeing you!

Hi My Le,

How are you today? I am having a two-month summer holiday at my favorite place, my city as well as my hometown. I will tell you a little about it, Ho Chi Minh city.

Ho Chi Minh city or Saigon is the biggest economic city in Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh City has many iconic places to visit such as Ben Thanh market, Nguyen Hue walking street, Grand Theater, etc. Street food in Ho Chi Minh city is very diverse and attractive. We can find almost all of the featuring dishes from all parts of Vietnam. The night markets are a true heaven for us to discover and try those foods, and we better prepare our wallets to eat as much as we can. Ho Chi Minh City can have almost all of the things that we want, and it is a really worthy place to live.

If you have a chance, you should go here and visit all the places in my city.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Best wishes,

Mai

Dear Mike,

How are you? Today I am going to write to tell you about the city that I am living in. The place where I live is Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam. In my city, there are many interesting things. About traffic, during the day, roads are full with vehicles and traffic congestion, especially at rush hours. The most popular transportation for local people in Hanoi to travel around is motorbikes. There are a lot of green trees, parks and lakes, which are the lungs of the city, keeping the air clean and fresh. Hanoi people are friendly, elegant and very hospitable. Coming to Hanoi, you should try the famous dishes here such as “Phở”, Hanoi Kebab rice noodles, noodle with fried tofu or shrimp paste.

If you have a chance, you should go here and visit all the places in my city.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Cheerful,

My Le
