My name’s Ngan. I’m lucky enough to have a very nice Australian pen pal. Her
name’s Jenny. She and I are the same age and we have a lot of things in
common.

Although my English was not very good at first, we were able to understand
each other quite well. My English has improved a lot, so it’s better now. Jenny
has never been to Viet Nam. However, she thinks well of our country and our
people. When she comes to Vietnam, I will take her to some interesting places,
especially our World Heritage Sites, such as Ha Long Bay, Hoi An Ancient
Town, My Son Tower. Through her mail, she tells me about her country. Thanks
to Jenny, I know more and more about Australia. I hope to be an exchange
student in Australia someday and we will be able to meet.
