Ví dụ bài mẫu B1

Đề bài: Write a letter to your friend telling them about a trip you recently took. Mention: where you went, what you did, and what you enjoyed most.

“Dear Minh,

How are you? I hope everything is going well with you! I’m so excited to tell you about my trip to Hoi An last weekend.

My family and I went there by train, which took about three hours from Da Nang. When we arrived, we visited the Ancient Town and walked along the famous Hoi An streets decorated with colourful lanterns. We also tried many local dishes, including white rose dumplings and cao lau noodles, which were absolutely delicious.

The thing I enjoyed most about the trip was the atmosphere — it was so peaceful and charming. In the evening, we released paper lanterns on the river, which was a truly magical experience.

I think you would love Hoi An — we should plan a trip together sometime! I look forward to hearing about your news too.

Best wishes, Lan”
