Dear Uncle Tu!
It's been a while since you last visited our hometown, Uncle, and I really miss you.
How have you been lately? How's your studying going? Our family is doing fine. Our homeland is always beautiful, and everyone's lives are improving day by day.
Let me tell you about myself, Uncle!
I'm still in good health, and I've grown taller. This year, I'm in third grade. Since the beginning of the school year, I've achieved many high accomplishments in my studies. My highest achievement was winning second prize in the handwriting competition, scoring 10 points. I'm working hard to achieve even higher accomplishments. I promise you, Uncle, I'll study diligently to deserve being your nephew. I hope in the future, I'll become an 'excellent student' at the Medical University like you.
The letter has been long, I'll stop writing here. I wish you good health, success in your studies, and early graduation to contribute to your family and society.
Your nephew
Tuan
