To: Susan & Ken 32 Park Street, London, UK
Dear Mum and Dad,
I'm having a great time here! My friends, Giang, Minh, and 1 are visiting Hoan Kiem Lake. They are going to take me to West Lake because we want to go beating and enjoy bánh tôm, a speciality in Hà Nội.
It's cool and wet because it's in autumn.
I will see you again in 3 days. I miss you so much.
Love,
Adele
