Dear [Friend’s Name],
I hope you’re doing well! I wanted to share an unforgettable memory that’s been
on my mind lately.
Do you remember when I landed my first teaching job? It was a dream come true,
but I was so nervous on my first day. You called me early that morning, reminding
me of my skills and passion for education, and it gave me the confidence I needed.
Later that day, a student wrote a thank-you note after our lesson, saying how much
they enjoyed learning Chinese characters. That moment made me realize how
rewarding teaching could be and why I chose this path in the first place.
Your support meant so much to me during that time, and I’m forever grateful. As I
search for new opportunities now, I carry that memory with me—it reminds me of
my purpose and strength.
Take care,
[Your Name]

Writing: You are having a holiday in a place far from your home. Write a letter to your
parents telling them about your holiday.

Dear Mom and Dad,

I hope you’re doing well! I’m having an incredible time here in Đà Nẵng and
wanted to share my experiences with you.
This city is amazing! The beaches, especially My Khe Beach, are gorgeous with
soft sand and clear blue water. I spent the morning relaxing by the sea and taking
in the stunning views. Yesterday, I visited the famous Golden Bridge at Ba Na
Hills—it felt like walking on clouds! The view from there was absolutely
breathtaking.
The local food is another highlight. I tried bánh xèo and mì Quảng, and both were
so delicious! In the evening, I took a stroll along the Han River, where the Dragon
Bridge lights up beautifully. The way it breathes fire at night is something I’ll
never forget!
Đà Nẵng is such a vibrant and welcoming place. I miss you both and can’t wait to
tell you more soon.
Love,
[Your Name]
