Dear Cayden McKay.

How’s it going? My name is Nguyen Phuc Tue (Nguyễn Phúc Tuệ) but you can call me Tue. I guess we’re
pen pals now, hope you’re doing well 😊. So, I’m Tue and I’m 11. I’m a student at Hanoi Thang Long
School and I’m from class 6A4. I have 4 family members in my family. I also have lots of friends in school.
I’m very bored out with those school stuff, they are so annoying, and I have some homework to do after
this letter. But I do like writing these letters, though. I’ve done some to other Canadians in the past.
Man, thinking about homework, what’s your opinion on schools? I think it’s a bad place, especial for our
mental health, forcing us to wake up at 6:30, have a breakfast in 10 minutes, run to school, learn 9 hours
a day, then go home and spent 4 more on useless homework, worksheets, projects and more… how
boring. It’s like you’re a programmed robot, you gotta do it repeatedly till you’re in your first twenties.
And the older you are, the harder schools get, great. Man, you might be thinking school is a great place
but nah, in our school, that doesn’t happen. I know absolutely nothing about yours, but I doubt your
Canada school is way better than ours. It’s getting late, I got school tomorrow, man… Not good. I’m not
completely negative about the school system, there are goods. We do get to make friends, learnings,
health care, etc. But there are lots and I mean lots of flaws and negative stuff about school. Push that
school stuff aside, I’ve just got some new cool hobbies. Usually, I used to be read comics, playing Roblox,
riding a bike, watching historic or scientific YouTube videos in my free time. But now, I’ve got a new one.
I read books. You might be thinking: “That sounds so boring, books? Lol!” Welp, it seems boring but it’s
not normal books, it’s like smart books. You read it on a screen, like an iPad. My dad bought me it. I’m
currently reading about demigod and gods stories: Ares, Aphrodite, Gaea, Zeus, Poseidon, Hephaestus …
By the way, I wonder if you got any cool hobbies. Do you play Minecraft or Roblox? Do you have any
favorite food? Do you think school is good? Why or why not? Do you have a favorite season? How’s
school? Tell me more about you!

Write back soon!

Sincerely

Nguyen Phuc Tue.
