Dear Nam,
How are you ? I was very happy to get your letter.
My class has just come back from a trip to Phong Nha Cave, a World Heritage Site in Central Viet Nam. It’s very far from my house. It’s over 1000 km from my house and it took us 26 hours to get there by car. We stayed in a big hotel in Quang Binh.
Although it’s a summer day, it’s very cold and dark inside. The guide showed us the history of the limestone which made such magnificent caves. We took many photographs with local people there.
We came back to the hotel in the afternoon. We swam in Nhat Le beach. It was realy fantastic. The water is clear and the sand is smooth.
We felt very happy after the trip. I enclose a photo that I took during the trip. I hope you like it.
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Your friend,
 Hoa
