Dear Lan,
Hey there, it's Ha. Do you remember me, your desk buddy from third grade? Another year has come around, and on this occasion of the Lunar New Year, I'm sending you and your family warm wishes for health, peace, happiness, and prosperity. It's been over a year since my family moved to the city, and we haven't seen each other every day, going to school together, hanging out, or even sleeping over every Saturday night. But I still remember you, my mischievous, adorable, and incredibly kind friend.
Did you wear an áo dài to celebrate Tet this year? Did you receive lots of lucky money? I don't have many friends here, so Tet feels a bit lonely. I specifically wish for you to have a bright and joyful new year, excel in your studies, and always earn plenty of perfect tens. If you receive this letter, please write back to me. I hope we'll meet again soon!
Lan's friend, Thanh Ha

Hello, my dear friend!
Due to the ongoing Covid-19 situation and the geographical distance, it's been a while since we last saw each other, Minh Anh. Today, on the occasion of the new year, I wish you and your family good health, happiness, success in all endeavors, and abundant fortune. Especially for you, I hope you achieve great success in the district's academic competition. When that happens, I'll definitely come back to celebrate and congratulate you.
It's fortunate that your school is in an area without outbreaks, allowing you to attend classes and enjoy with your friends. Meanwhile, I'm stuck studying at home through my brother's computer. I don't enjoy studying at home at all; I wish I could go back to the countryside and study with you, that would be so much fun.
I plan to donate whatever lucky money I receive this Tet to the vaccine fund so that everyone can get vaccinated. Hopefully, the pandemic will pass soon, and life can return to normal.
Minh Anh, promise me to study well and stay safe during the pandemic. Once the situation improves, I'll come back to visit you in the countryside!
Close Friend
