Answer 1

We have many festivals, but the major ones are, for example, the Tet Holiday, the Moon Festival, May Day, the National Day, Christmas,... My favourite festival is the Tet Holiday, the Vietnamese New Year. It comes on the first of January according to the lunar calendar. On New Year's Eve, children will get “lucky money'' and wear new clothes because Tet is the time for new things. People can do things they would not normally be allowed to do like the adults usually play some card games and watch the TV gala. Also later at night, when the clock strikes 12, with the coming of the Lunar New Year, people will enjoy a fireworks display. The Tet Holiday is always my favourite holiday because there are so many activities and varieties of food and it is the connection time. We usually make square cakes - a typical food on New Year’s Day in Vietnam. It is a kind of glutinous rice cake wrapped in banana leaves, in order to honour our ancestor, King Hung, who himself made it to present to his respected father. Like Christmas in the Western countries, Tet holiday is the most important and longest holiday we have, a good time for family reunion and relaxation. We celebrate this holiday with a lot of different activities: having a big feast, visiting our parents and friends to express our goodwill, enjoying the flower festival, watching lion dancing or chatting with each other. On the Tet Holiday, we have about ten days off so I often visit my parents, friends and relatives. We usually celebrate Tet holiday by getting together with having a big meal and playing some games afterwards. It's a great time to relax and enjoy ourselves. Also many other people take the opportunity to visit the places of interest in and outside Vietnam.
