Read the text about Tet in Vietnam

Lunar New Year, or Tet, is Vietnam’ s main holiday It

is the grandest and most important occasion in the

year which falls sometimes between 19th January and

20th February on the Western calendar Tet marks

the beginning of spring and, for agrarian people, the start of a new year

Tet’s preparations and celebrations used to be

spread over months, but nowadays the holiday is

much shorter A great deal of excitement still builds

up well before Tet, however Streets are decorated

with coloured lights and red banners Shops are full

of goods People are busy buying gifts, cleaning and decorating their houses and cooking traditional

foods.

Trang 11

Homes are often decorated with plants and flowers at this time Peach blossom is traditional at Tet in the North while apricot

blossom is traditional in the South The kumquat tree with its ripe deep orange fruits is popular throughout the country One of

Tet’s most special foods is banh chung, which is made from

sticky rice, green beans and fatty pork Mut, which is candied

fruit such as sugared apples, plums or tomatoes, is also popular

On the days of Tet everyone tries to be nice and polite to each other People believe that what they do on the first day of the

year will influence their luck during the whole year Thus, only

positive comments should be made People visit other family

members or friends, and they exchange New Year’s wishes

Children receive their “lucky money” inside red envelopes Many people go to the pagoda to pray for a happy year for themselves and their family Both children and adults take part in games and various forms of entertainment Tet is really a time of fun and

festivals throughout the country
