Dear Mark,
How are you? I'm going to tell you about Tet holiday in Vietnam,
my favourite festival.  The festival I love is Tet holiday.
We often celebrate from the first day of the lunar calendar until
at least the third day. "Banh chung" is the traditional food of Tet
holiday.  We decorate our house, buy new things, cook special
food, visit relatives and participate in local festivals. I like the

I hope one day you can join the festival with us.
Cheers,
