Hi Mary,

How are you?

I feel very excited because our Tet holiday is coming. Tet brings a lot of fun and happiness to everyone.

Before Tet, my father will clean and decorate our house. I'll go shoping with my mother. This year, I will learn how to make banh chung from my parents. It's must be very interesting. I will also receive a special gift from my parents since I have got a lot of good marks in my final examination. I can't wait. You know, at Tet, people should give children lucky money in red envelopes. In addition, people shouldn't break things because it may bring bad luck.

I will write again soon to tell you more!

Write soon,

 Tên bạn

HỌC TỐT !!!
