Hi Mum and Dad,

Here I am at the Superb Summer Camp. Mr Lee asks us to write e-mails in English! Wow everything here is in English!

There are 25 kids from different schools in Ha Noi. They are all nice and friendly. My new friends are Phong, James, and Nhung. (I’m attaching a photo of us here). James has blond hair, and big blue eyes. He’s cool, and creative. He likes taking pictures. He’s taking a picture of me now! Phong is the tall boy. He’s sporty and plays basketball very well. Nhung has chubby cheeks and curly black hair. She’s kind. She shared her lunch with me today.

This evening we’re having a campfire. We’re singing and James is telling a ghost story! I hope it isn’t too scary! Tomorrow we’re doing a treasure hunt in the field. Then in the afternoon we’re visiting a milk farm to see how they make milk, cheese and butter. I’m not sure what we’re doing on the last day! Mr. Lee hasn’t told us yet. I’m sure it will be fun!

I miss you already. Please write soon.

Love,

Phuc
