transportation, and everyday expresses in your city. How easy is it to find suitable housing?
What’s more? I wonder whether there are various local public transportation options such as a
subway or bus. Additionally, are there any neighborhoods, what about safety and the overall vibe
of the city?
I’d really appreciate any information or tips you can provide to help me make this decision. It
would be great to catch up soon and perhaps you could show me around if I decide to make the
move . I’m looking forward to hearing from you and thank you in advance for your guidance.

the house is my neighbor’s house, in front ò the house is a very large yard. Inside the house is
neatly arranged. I enjoy living in the house because this is where I grew up and have my loved
ones.
ngôi nhà nơi tôi lớn lên ở quê hương tỉnh Tiền Giang. Đây là nơi tôi lớn lên và sống cùng bố, mẹ
và chị gái. Bên ngoài ngôi nhà trông rất đẹp với gạch đỏ và tường trắng, bên trái nhà là hàng cây
và ao cá nhỏ, bên phải nhà là nhà hàng xóm của tôi, phía trước nhà là khoảng sân rất rộng. Bên

An interesting person I once met was a college student (name) who was the host at a school
festival. I'm attending the festival as a participant. At that time, I met a student who was
organizing a festival program at school. He is very lively, energetic and a very entertaining host.
Even though he often says the wrong words, it's interesting because it makes the show more
exciting and fun. I really liked the way he hosted the show because it made the festival more
interesting.
Một người thú vị mà tôi từng gặp là một sinh viên đại học (tên) dẫn chương trình tại một lễ hội
của trường. Tôi đang tham dự lễ hội với tư cách là một người tham gia. Lúc đó, tôi gặp một cậu
học sinh đang tổ chức chương trình lễ hội ở trường. Anh ấy rất sôi nổi, hoạt bát và là một người
dẫn chương trình rất thú vị. Mặc dù anh ấy thường xuyên nói sai từ nhưng điều đó rất thú vị vì
điều đó sẽ làm cho chương trình sôi nổi và vui nhôn hơn. Tôi thực sự thích cách anh ấy dẫn
chương trình vì nó làm cho lễ hội trở nên thú vị hơn.
Topic 8 Describe an important traditional festival in your country. You should answer the
questions:
• When and where does it happen?

Lunar New Year usually takes place in late January or early February. It is celebrated throughout
Vietnam, from bustling cities to rural villages. During Tet, people clean and decorate their homes,
prepare special dishes and visit family and friends. Traditional activities such as giving and
receiving lucky money. Tet is special because it is the start of the new year and a time for families
to reunite and gather together. Tet is more important than other festivals because it is a long-
standing culture and tradition of Vietnamese.
Tết Nguyên Đán thường diễn ra vào cuối tháng Giêng hoặc đầu tháng Hai. Nó được tổ chức trên
khắp Việt Nam, từ các thành phố nhộn nhịp đến các vùng nông thôn. Trong dịp Tết, mọi người
dọn dẹp và trang trí nhà cửa, chuẩn bị những món ăn đặc biệt và thăm gia đình, bạn bè. Các hoạt
động truyền thống như tặng, nhận lì xì. Tết thật đặc biệt vì là thời điểm bắt đầu một năm mới và
là thời điểm để các gia đình đoàn tụ, quây quần bên nhau. Tết quan trọng hơn các lễ hội khác vì
đây là nét văn hóa, truyền thống lâu đời của người Việt.
