Dear Mark,

How are you? I'm going to tell you about Tet holiday in Vietnam. It usually takes place between late January and mid-February, depending on the lunar calendar. One of the most important activities during Tet is the preparation and sharing of special foods. My family often eat banh chung, which are filled with pork and mung beans and wrapped in banana leaves. During the festival, I often visit my friend’s and relatives’ houses, enjoy some special food, visit pagodas, and receive lucky money. I really love Tet holiday because I can get together with my family and friends after a year of hard work and study and I’m happy to get dressed up in nice clothes and take a walk in public places.

I hope one day you can join the festival with us.

Cheers,
