After that, we went to the pagoda and wish for health, wealth, and luck prosperity for our family. We have a lot of fun during Tet.

3. Talk about your Tet holiday .

Tet is a traditional holiday of our country, Vietnam.

It often begins in late-January and ends in early-February. With the meaning of seeing the old year off and welcoming the new year, Tet becomes a special occasion of reunion for Vietnamese families. At that time, all family members try to come back to their home and get together to make such preparations for Tet as buying new clothes and cleaning their house. A branch of apricot blossoms or a Kumquat tree is indispensable decoration for every family in these days. They seem like a fresh air to the house. We display a tray full of fruits and vases of flowers on the ancestral altar.

Some typical Tet's food are sweets, coconut jam, fruit candies, melon seeds, stew pork with eggs, and especially sticky rice cake. Tet meals are usually bigger and more delicious than our daily ones.

On Tet holiday, people have many recreational activities. Young persons take part in the traditional games such as: tug of war, cooking rice, cock fighting, watching lion dance. Many people visit relatives to wish a happy new year. Adults will give lucky money to children. Woman like going to pagoda to wish good things for their family.

In my opinion, I like cozy and fresh Tet atmosphere. All family members gather and talk about resolutions for a happy new year. I can hang out with my friend and don't worry about anything.

" Tet" holiday is always in Vietnamese's heart.

1. Talk about your school .

There is a white three-storey building, surrounded by greenery, located at Simei Town Central. That is Simei Primary School. That is also the place where I have schooled for the last five years or so.

My school uniform is white. The boys wear a white shirt and white shorts while the girls wear a white blouse and skirt. The uniform must always be worn with the school badge which bears our school motto “Nothing without labor”. It means that we must be willing to work to get our reward. We are also taught to be honest and polite all the time.

Most of the teachers in my school are just and kind. However, there are some teachers who show favoritism. As a result, the students who are favored by these teachers are very proud and like to bully the others. In general, however, we all treat one another like siblings and live in harmony.

Tet is definitely the most crucial national festival of Vietnam. It is one of the most widely celebrated festivals in our country. This is the occasion that people celebrates with great joy, hope, festivity and different cultural and other programs.

Tet is the time when the Lunar calendar year begins which usually fall between mid January to mid February.

People start the arrangement to celebrate this festival about one month prior to Tet which includes cooking traditional foods, cleaning their house and buying new furnitures, etc.

On the Lunar New Year’s Eve, people gather together, makes prayers and stay awake till late night to enjoy the night.

During Tet, there are several customs that make Tet a unique festival. For instance, adults tend to give lucky money to children, visit friend and relatives’ houses, play cards, and going to churches, temples or pagodas to make good prays for their family.

This is an important festival to us. Vietnamese take this day as an important festival day. In our tradition, we start the year with the hope of eliminating the bitterness and failure of the past year and start a fresh year with the hope of fortune and happiness. Furthermore, this is the time for families and relatives to stay together under the same roof for rekindling love and bonding.

Topic 1:

This is my house. My house is big. The house has four floors, two yard, three bathroom, my bedroom, my parent's room and the guest's room. In the first floor has one living room, one bathroom. The second floors has my parents's room, one of guest's room and one bathroom too. The third floors has my bedroom and the last one bahroom. In the four floors has the altar's room. Everybody say my house is beautiful. I love my house very much.

Tick cho mình với nhé!

I live in a house at ____(Bạn tự điền tên đường vào nhé!) street with my family. My house is small but it is very beautiful. It has 3 bedrooms, one for my parent, one for my sister ( hoặc là brother, tùy bạn chọn thôi) and one for me. The living room is small but it is very nice and the kitchen is very convenient. My house also has a small garden with some trees and flowers that my father is planted. My house isn't large but it very beautiful, and I enjoy it very much.

Noticing the peach buds slightly blossoming, getting the spring rain clang to the clothes, smelling the incense in the air, which all signal to the fact that Tet has already arrived. Tet is always considered as the most expectant opportunity to gather up beside your beloved ones, to enjoy the full emotion that “I am now in my home”. The Tet holidays before I was 18 suddenly rush into my mind, and I want to write about those nonreturnable Tets. Would you feel eager and distinctive if you could celebrate Tet in both Northern and Southern ways even you were living in the North? That was exactly how I experienced Tet holiday in my family because my grandfather comes from the South. A small apricot blossom tree, a lovely peach blossom one and a kumquat tree laden with fruits, my house was full of Spring’s colors! I felt as if the living room were absolutely occupied by the Spring’s vitality and energy. To be more important, the best thing of those Tet holidays was that my family still had enough members as I defaulted it must be: my grandparents, my aunt, my parents, my older brother, my younger brother, my dog and me. Hastily preparing food for Tet, my mum spent all of her day considering and listing everything necessary. Re-decorating the house was the my brother’s and my task. My dad took in charge of cooking while my grandparents would like to direct how the altar should be displayed. Together preparing for Tet, I used to experience Tet with its full meaning of “Tet doan vien” (Tet – Family Reunion).

Tết Nguyên Đán, more commonly known by its shortened name Tết, is the most important and popular holiday and festival in Vietnam. It is the Vietnamese New Year marking the arrival of spring based on the Lunar calendar. The name Tết Nguyên Đán is Sino-Vietnamese for Feast of the First Morning.

It takes place from the first day of the first month of the Lunar calendar (around late January or early February) until at least the third day. During Tết, Vietnamese visit their relatives and temples, forgetting about the troubles of the past year and hoping for a better upcoming year. Due to the high regard in which people hold it, Tết, as often as not, is consumed with unique, distinctive colors and flavors. Let’s take a look at some traditions and customs typical of this special holiday in Vietnam.

1. Food

Bánh chưng (Sticky square cake)

Bánh Chưng is a food made from glutinous rice, mung bean and pork, added with many other ingredients. Bánh Chưng is covered by green leaves (usually banana leaves) and symbolizes the Earth, invented by the prince Lang Liêu from Hùng King dynasty. Besides traditional reason, Bánh Chưng is chosen as the main food for Tết holiday because of it can last long for days in Vietnamese weather (Banh Chung can survive at room temperature for nearly 1 month).

Giò, chả (Vietnamese sausage)

Giò chả (Vietnamese ham/sausage) is another traditional food in Tết holiday, and usually served with Xôi (sticky rice) and Bánh Chưng. Giò is different from Chả since Giò is boiled and Chả is deep-fried. Chả is also made of lean pork and ingredients, but Chả is not wrapped by leaves and boiled but deep-fried in oil.

Xôi (Sticky rice)

Xôi is also a very important part of Têt holiday in Vietnam, along with Bánh Chưng, xôi is the main staple foods for Tết holiday. Xôi can be seen in many forms: Xôi Lạc (sticky rice with peanuts), Xôi Đỗ Xanh (sticky rice with mung bean), Xôi Gấc (sticky rice with special “gấc” fruit). Among these types, xôi gấc is favorite the most by people because of its special red color – symbolizes the luck and new achievement for the New Year.

Mứt (Candied fruits)

Mứt Tết (Tết jam) is not a food to serve in a meal during Tết holiday, but more like a snack to welcome guests in this special period. This once-in-year mix of snack is very large in variety, with so many tastes: ginger, carrot, coconut, pineapple, pumpkin, lotus seed, star fruit, etc.

2. Traditional customs

Even though many Vietnamese traditions are based on old cultural beliefs that may strike some as a little superstitious, families believe that their activities during Tết must involve happiness, joy, and good luck. Below are some of the popular, long-standing Tết traditional customs that have stood the test of time from generations to generations.

Lì xì (lucky money)

The first day of Tết is reserved for the nuclear family. Children receive a red envelope containing money from their elders. This tradition is called mừng tuổi (happy new age) in the north and lì xì in the south. Usually, children wear their new clothes and give their elders the traditional Tết greetings before receiving the money.

Xông nhà

Since the Vietnamese believe that the first visitor a family receives in the year determines their fortune for the entire year, people never enter any house on the first day without being invited first. The act of being the first person to enter a house on Tết is called xông đất, xông nhà or đạp đất, which is one of the most important rituals during Tết. According to Vietnamese tradition, if good things come to the family on the first day of the lunar New Year, the entire following year will also be full of blessings. Usually, a person of good temper, morality and success will be the lucky sign for the host family and be invited first into the house.

During subsequent days, people visit relatives and friends. Traditionally but not strictly, the second and even painting their home in anticipation of spring, settle old debts and disputes, and pledge to behave nicely and work hard in the new year.

3. Decorations

Traditionally, each family displays “Cây nêu”, an artificial New Year Tree consisting of a bamboo pole 5 to 6 m long. The top end is usually decorated with many objects, depending on the locality, including good luck charms, origami fish, cactus branches, etc.

At Tết every house is usually decorated by hoa mai – Ochna integerrima (in the central and southern parts of Vietnam) or hoa đào – peach flower (in the northern part of Vietnam) or hoa ban (in mountain areas). In the north or central, the kumquat tree is a popular decoration for the living room during Tết. Its bright orange-colored fruits represent the fertility and fruitfulness that the family hopes for in the coming year.

Dear Thi,

I feel very excited because our Tet holiday is coming. This year I will learn how to make banh chung from my parents. It must be very interesting. I will also receive a special gift from my parents since I have got a lot of good marks in my final examination. I can't wait. This New Year's Eve I won't go out because it will be very cold.
You know, at Tet, people should give children lucky money in red envelopes. In addition, people shouldn't break things because it may bring bad luck, especially on the first day of the New Year.
I will write again soon to tell you more!
