Sample: My Tet Holiday
Tet is the most important festival in Vietnam. It usually comes in January or February. Before Tet, my family cleans the house and decorates it with flowers. We also make banh chung together. On New Year's Eve, we watch fireworks and stay up late. During Tet, I visit my grandparents and receive lucky money. I should say 'Chuc Mung Nam Moi' to everyone. I shouldn't break things or say bad words. I love Tet because I can be with my family and eat delicious food.
