Part 2: 10 question (0.4 point/Q)
Read and choose the correct answer.
 Tet in Viet Nam starts with the first new moon, usually in late January or early February. The celebrations usually
last for three days. The Vietnamese celebrate Tet with family gatherings, wonderful foods and lion dances. Let’s take a
look at some of the tradition linked to Tet, the most popular festival in Viet Nam.
* Red is a bright, happy colour that keeps away bad spirits. That’s why people decorate their homes with red and
yellow to bring good luck for the next year. Also, parents and grandparents give children special lucky money in red
envelopes.
* One thing people avoid during Tet is sweeping the house. Before Tet, the Vietnamese clean their houses to clear
out any bad luck from the previous year. People finish cleaning before New Year’s Day because they believe you’ll
brush away your good luck if you sweep the house during Tet. People also buy branches of apricot blossom or peach
blossom, which symbolise a long life, to decorate their houses. Traditionally, people travel back to their hometowns to
celebrate Tet with their family. During their stay, they visit relatives and have large meals together. They wear colourful
new clothes to bring them good luck for the coming new year. They also visit flower fairs and calligraphy markets
where calligraphers can write poems on “giấy dó”, wood or stone for them.
