A new shopping mall is opening in Nam’s neighborhood today. It is very different from the present shopping area. All the shops are under one roof. That will be very convenient, especially during the hot and humid summer months. Customers will shop in comfort and won’t notice the weather.

Some people in the neighborhood, however, are not happy about the changes. The owners of the small stores on Tran Phu Street think the mall will take their business. Some of the goods in the new stores will be the same as the ones in the small shops, but the stores in the mall will offer a wider selection of products, some at cheaper prices.

The residents and store owners have been concerned about the new mall for a few months. They have organized a community meeting in order to discuss the situation.

Dear Tim,

Thanks for your letter. I am very glad to hear that you are fine. I am fine, too. It’s really interesting to know about vacations of American students.

You are right. We have fewer vacations than American students. Each year, we just have about four vacations. We have a day off for Independent Day on September 2nd, two days off on April 30th and May Day. Our most important vacation is Tet. Tet holiday often lasts for nine or ten days. Our longest vacation is summer vacation. It last for almost three months. We usually spend time with our families. We don’t have vacation for Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas, but we also celebrate them.

Please write and tell me your last summer vacation.

Your friend,

Hoa
