Dear Mark,
How are you? I'm going to tell you about Tet holiday in Vietnam,
my favourite festival. We often celebrate it once every year on
some days from the end of the twelfth lunar month to celebrate
an upcoming year. Chung Cake is the traditional food associated
with Tet holiday. I wholeheartedly like the festival due to the fact
that at Tet, my family has a chance to reunite and I am given
lucky money in red envelopes. 
I hope one day you can join the festival with us.
Cheers,
