In our country, there are quite lots of different festivals every years. However, I think Tet festival is the most typical festival for most Vietnamese people. Though we can live or work far from our family, we still try to get together at Tet. Tet festival often occurs in late January or February.
It is a good chance for us to have days off and have time to visit relatives or friends for giving good luck and the best wishes to each other. For some people who are rich, they can go on a trip somewhere in Viet Nam or in foreign countries to enjoy Tet festival
i like country life. because people in the countryside are more friendly than those who live in city
in the countryside, the enviroment is very fresh and it have many trees. my mind is better: not busy, peaceful.
many people say that: " the country life is very boring!" but i don't think so. i think although the countryside doesn't have many means of the entertainment but we can play traditionnal games..
in the city, people always want to work and work, they want to have much money. so, sometimes they forget many interesting things in their life.
in the countryside, you can become another one : you are better, happier anh care of everybody. here, people are a big family, if you are sad, they are sad with you. if you smile, they smile with you
only thing i want to say " i love country life and my Hanam province, forever"
