VOCABULARY
1. Children in different countries are talking about their New Year.
Russ from the USA
I often go to Times Square with my parents to welcome the New Year. When the clock strikes midnight, colorful fireworks light up the sky. Everybody around is cheering and singing happily. I love that moment so much.
Wu from China
I love the first day of the new year most. After getting up we dress beautifully and go to the main room. There my grandparents sit on a sofa. We bow and say our wishes to them. They will give us lucky money in red envelopes. After that, we go out and have a day full of fun, good food and laughter.
Mai from Viet Nam
I learn some beliefs about Tet from my parents. At Tet people present rice to wish for enough red fruits for happiness. Dogs are lucky animals. Their barking sounds like Gold. But one shouldn’t present a cat because its cry sounds like Vietnamese word for poverty. Don’t eat shrimps. They move backwards and you will not succeed in the new year.
