Dear Mark,

How are you? I’m going to tell you about the Mid-Autumn Festival. It falls on the 15^th day of the eighth lunar month. During the Mid-Autumn, my family and I often eat moon cakes, pomelos and watch lion dances. Furthermore, I also take part in one of the most interesting activities, which is the lantern parade in mid-autumn night. I like the festival very much because it was funny and meaningful.

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

Cheers,

Linh

Dear Mark,

How are you? I'm going to tell you about Tet holiday in Vietnam. It usually takes place between late January and mid-February, depending on the lunar calendar. One of the most important activities during Tet is the preparation and sharing of special foods. My family often eat banh chung, which are filled with pork and beans and wrapped in banana leaves. During the festival, I often visit my friend’s and relatives’ houses, enjoy some special food, visit pagodas, and receive lucky money. I really love Tet holiday because I can get together with my family and friends after a year of hard work and study, and I’m happy to get dressed up in nice clothes and take a walk in public places.

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

Cheers,

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. “Banh chung” 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.

Dear Mark,

Hope you're doing well! I want to share about the Mid-Autumn Festival, a cherished celebration here. It comes around once a year, usually in September or October, to mark the arrival of the full moon. Mooncakes, especially the ones with lotus seed paste, are a festive treat we all enjoy. Lantern parades and gazing at the bright moon are part of our traditions. I love this festival as it brings family together, and the colorful lanterns light up the night.

Hoping you can join the festivities someday!
