A FAMOUS FESTIVAL IN VIETNAzM

Cường Nguyễn, February 1st

In Vietnam, people celebrate many different festivals each year. The biggest festival in Vietnam is
Tết. This celebrates the beginning of the Lunar New Year. Vietnamese people have to prepare a lot
for this festival.
Before Têt, people buy fruits and flowers from the market and decorate their houses. Most people
buy a special tree with lots of flowers. In the north of Vietnam, people buy peach trees with pink
flowers. In the south, people buy yellow apricot trees with yellow flowers. Everyone cleans their
house before Têt. This is very important because you shouldn't clean it during Tết.
During Tết, people visit their family and friends. Few people go to school or work. Children wear new
clothes and get lucky money. It's a great time to watch lion dances and fireworks. Everyone is happy
and excited about the New Year. Vietnamese people love to celebrate this festival.
