1. Read the following letter from Kim to her pen friend, Jon.
Dear Jon,
Thank you for the letter and all your news. Well, in this letter I’ll tell you what I often do in my leisure time.
One thing I like to do is visiting museums. On Saturday afternoons I love to visit Da Nang Museum of Cham Sculpture. You know, this museum preserves sculptures featuring the cultural and spiritual life of the Cham people. About 300 clay and stone objects are on display at the museum. This museum has the world’s largest collection of Cham artifacts. Sometimes I also visit Da Nang Museum. This is a new museum with about 2,500 pictures, documents and objects. You can learn about history and people’s life here. Next time you come, I’ll take you to these museums. I’m sure you will like them, and you will learn a lot of interesting things.
Bye for now,
Kim
