Dear Peter,
I’m sorry that it took me weeks to reply to you. I told you in my last letter, my family and I had to move to another city because of my mother’s new job I was busy helping my parents packing and then unpacking. I couldn’t find the time to write to you. Fortunately,we finished moving yesterday. I attached a picture of my new house below. It’s a beautiful town house on the busy street. There is a swing set in the little yard behind my new house. My room is on the second floor. The wall is green and there is a bed,a dresser, a desk and a chair. I haven’t dacorated my room yet so it looks empty.When I finish decorating it, I’ll send you a photo.
Please write and tell how you’re going in the last few weeks. I look forward to hearing from you.
Your pal,
Hoa
