Hi Hoa,

Thanks for your email. How's it going? Is everything ok? 

I am so sorry because I can't attend our presentation on Friday. I had an accident while I was camping by the sea yesterday. I was swimming with some friends when suddenly I got a cramp. At that time I was very scared, I struggled and cried out loudly. By the time I was brought ashore, I had almost passed out and no longer knew anything. Then they took me to the emergency room at a nearby medical station. After about 2 hours, I regained consciousness and I am currently being cared for in the recovery room. Thinking back at that time, I was still very scared, I thought I was drowned in water. The doctor said that I will have to stay in the hospital for the next 3 days to fully recover. I am very sad because I can't go to class.

Take care and write back soon,

Linh
