Hi Danny
How are you? I very exited to hear that you are going to fly to Vietnam and spend 2 weeks in Ho Chi Minh city.
Have you check a hotel? I think the one call “The Brick” in district 3 is a very good choice. It is cheap and very clean. It also has free breakfast with very good delicious Vietnamese food.
There are some places you must visit. A new 3D art museam was built near the city center, so you can go their to have some amazing photoes. You can also come to Nguyen Hue walking street which there are interesting coffee shops and so many street food for you to eat. It is usually very crowd at night with many happy activities for young people, I am sure you very like it.
About what you wear, it is in the sunny season so it is good to bring cool clothes. Short and top are the most suit to wear in this wether because it is very hot during the day time. I know you love long-heels shoes, but maybe you have leave them home this time.
Hope to meet you soon
You can write me any time you want
Love,

Hi Danny
How are you? I am very excited to know that you are going to fly to Vietnam for a two-week vacation in Ho Chi Minh city.
In case you haven’t reserved a hotel yet, I think the one called “The Brick” located in district 3 is a good option. The price is reasonable and the hotel is always in good condition of cleanliness. Also, there is free breakfast where some of the best local foods are served.
There are some places you must visit. A new 3D art museum has been built in the city center, so you can go there to have some amazing photos. You may also be interested in Nguyen Hue Walking Street where there are lively coffee shops and street food stalls. It usually gets crowded at night with many fun activities for young people.
Regarding what to wear, it is the dry season now, so it is good to bring comfortable clothes only. Shorts and t-shirts are the most suitable to wear in this type of weather because it is very hot during the day time. I know you love high-heels shoes, but maybe you have to leave them at home this time.
Look forward to seeing you soon
Just let me know if you need any help
Love,

However, the band 6.0 writing still retains some lingering vocabulary issues that need improvement to aim for a higher band score. Specifically, certain idioms need to be replaced for more effective expression (e.g., free breakfast, local foods, have some amazing photos). The writing employs phrases from higher-level groups, which are less common but still lack precision (e.g., good condition of cleanliness).
