Dịch bài luận sang tiếng việt:

Noticing the peach buds slightly blossoming, getting the spring rain clang to the clothes, smelling the incense in the air, which all signal to the fact that Tet has already arrived. Tet is always considered as the most expectant opportunity to gather up beside your beloved ones, to enjoy the full emotion that “I am now in my home”. The Tet holidays before I was 18 suddenly rush into my mind, and I want to write about those nonreturnable Tets. Would you feel eager and distinctive if you could celebrate Tet in both Northern and Southern ways even you were living in the North? That was exactly how I experienced Tet holiday in my family because my grandfather comes from the South. A small apricot blossommed tree, a lovely peach blossom one and a kumquat tree laden with fruits, my house was full of Spring’s colors! I felt as if the living room were absolutely occupied by the Spring’s vitality and energy. To be more important, the best thing of those Tet holidays was that my family still had enough members as I defaulted it must be: my grandparents, my aunt, my parents, my older brother, my younger brother, my dog and me. Hastily preparing food for Tet, my mum spent all of her day considering and listing everything necessary. Re-decorating the house was the my brother’s and my task. My dad took in charge of cooking while my grandparents would like to direct how the altar should be displayed. Together preparing for Tet, I used to experience Tet with its full meaning of “Tet doan vien” (Tet – Family Reunion).

Tet is a national and family festival. It is an occasion for every Vietnamese to have a good time while thinking about the last year and the next year. At Tet, spring fairs are organized, streets and public buildings are brightly decorated and almost all shops are crowded with people shopping for Tet. At home, every is tidied, special food is cooked,offerings of food, fresh water, flowers and betel are made on the family altar with burning joss- sticks scenting the air. First-footing is made when the lucky visitor comes and children are given lucky money wrapped in a red tiny envelope. Tet is also a time for peace and love. During Tet, children often behave well and friends, relatives and neighbors give each other best wishes for the new year.
