* Suggested answers:
1. Dear Lan,
Firstly, let me congratulate you on your 15th birthday. Certainly, I will help you to prepare everything you need for the party. I will go to the nearby market and get them on Saturday morning. Luckily, Saturday is weekend so I have the whole day free.
I will be at your house at 6.30 p.m on Saturday.
 Love,
Hoa.
2. Dear Minh,
I have just got your letter this morning in which you asked me to lend you a book about wildlife. Of course you can get it as long as you need. The only problem is that I am going to the market with my mother this Saturday so I can’t be back home at that time. Why don’t we meet at 2 in the afternoon?
I will be waiting for you then. Yours,
Nga.
Dear Hao,
I receives your letter requests the details of the apply form for the video library. I enclose here the full form and you ask to fill out before send back to us. You can send we via e-mail. The deadline is 25thJuly. You should remember attaching a photo on the first page of the form. The membership fees are $ 25 per year and it is not refund if you leave the library for any reasons.
I am looking forward to hear from you soon.
Yours truly, 
Minh.
