Sam: Hi! Welcome to the club. Can you remember the first time you went on a
journey by yourself? What was it like?

The first time I went on a journey myself is when I was 17. I went to Mai Chau, Hanoi
and the trip was a precious experience. I had done many activities that I had never
imagined I had chances to do such as teaching English for poor kids and helping local
people cook traditional dishes.

Miguel: Welcome! What are the most interesting places to visit in your country?

Among the places I’ve gone to, I probably love to visit Ha Long the most. It is one of the
most suitable places for teenagers because it has such interesting destinations as water
park, adventure games area,… and also hundreds types of signature food to try.

Michelle: What is the most exciting journey you’ve been on?

It is obviously the extreme trip to Ha Giang. I came there with my friends in the winter
and we had to ride motorbikes ourselves along a 300-kilometer mountain pass to get to
the homestay. It was a challenging journey but it created us a lot of precious memories.

Dear Lotus,

I am now a member of a travel club and I’m really happy thinking about what I’m going
to do in our next club meeting.

But now I’m writing to notify you that Mr. David Price couldn’t be able to come. I’m
feeling a little sad and uncomfortable about this problem, but I understand that maybe
he has something unexpected to do.

I’ll write to tell you more if I have any notifications.

See you

Best regard,

Write an email to the secretary of the club. Write about your feelings and what
you would like to do. Write 120-150 words. You have 20 minutes.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am the new member of the club and I am writing you to express my feelings about the
next club meeting that was canceled. I was extremely happy and I had made plans for
that night, but unfortunately it did not happen.

I understand that we can not control the unexpected things happen, but I have to
reschedule my whole week plan because of this meeting. And I have paid a lot of money
in order to join in this meeting and I wonder whether if I can get a refund.

I feel very disappointed, but I still appreciate that the club has sent a message. And I
want to buy 2 copies of the book, one for me and one for my friends. I will send you my
information when you reply this email.
Thank you!

Best regard,
