 8 Dear Lan,
 How are you?
 My family has just came back from a trip to Phong Nha Cave
 in Quang Binh. It has been a great tourist attraction since it
 was claimed World Cultural Heritage. This is the first time I
 visited Phong Nha Cave. We spent a week there and I didn’t
 want to leave.
 It was a long way from my house to Phong Nha Cave so it
 was took us more than one day to get there by train.
 The sightseeing was wonderful and magnificent and the
 weather was sunny and quite hot. I was very excited and a
 little bit tired after the trip.
 That’s all I have time to tell you about. What do you plan to do
 during the summer vacation? Write to me as soon as
 possible.
 Regards,
 Huyen.
