Question

Viết một đoạn văn tả dịp Tết đến bằng tiếng Anh. Write a paragraph describing Tet in English

Answer 1

When it comes to this topic, which is about the Tet holiday in Vietnam - a momentous event that I really love, I cannot wait to share with you my memory about it. Tet, or can be called Lunar New Year. Tet would be one of Vietnam's most awaited occasions. It generally occurs during late January and early February and seems to last about 3 to 4 days in a row from the very first day of the Lunar calendar, usually used in Asian countries.

Tet provides a plethora of festive events. Most of the families would prepare conventional recipes like Chưng cakes (cube-shaped cakes) or sugar-preserved fruits prior to Tet. Tet is indeed a time for pilgrimage and family gatherings. During this time of year, people from all over the country travel to their home cities to spend time with their family members. Old individuals use this occasion to honour their family ancestors and visit pagodas or churches to wish for a prosperous new year. Children really anticipate Tet since they will receive fortunate money, usually put in a red envelope. Another frequent Tet custom is to adorn the house with decorations such as love poems or bouquets. In the north, cherry blossoms bloom, while in the south, apricot blossoms bloom.

Collecting fortunate money was also a favourite element of my childhood. Growing older, Tet became an opportunity for me to let off some breath and break from everyday life’s stresses. However, before Tet, commuting would be pretty tough because of the large number of people on the road.

So Tet is without a doubt the most important festival for both Vietnamese humans in general and me. It is a well-known custom that has been observed for countless generations. This is really a time to calm down, reflect on the previous year, and wait for the upcoming year.

 

Answer 2

Traditional Tet is one of the most important festivals of Vietnam. Just like in Western countries that follow Christianity, Christmas is a sacred and important holiday, so is the traditional New Year's Day. Traditional New Year's Day is called Lunar New Year or Lunar New Year, and is considered the most important moment of a year. The time starts on the 1st day of the 1st lunar month of the new year. The Lunar New Year usually falls between the end of January and the middle of February of a calendar year. Normally in Vietnam, every occasion to prepare for the Lunar New Year, everyone, whether working or going to school, has a holiday schedule. Normally, the time off is from one working week or more (for employees) and two to three days before December 30. To prepare for the important Tet holiday of this year, every family often buys a lot of new things, cleans the house, prepares a tray of rice to worship ancestors. And yet, on the traditional New Year's Day, there is also a custom to visit the elderly, family members, friends and neighbors every time Tet comes. At that time, homeowners or adults will give lucky money to children and elders with wishes at the beginning of the new year of peace, prosperity, and everything as desired. This is not only a custom but also a cultural beauty of the Vietnamese people, to show concern and hope for a full and peaceful life for everyone.
