A Famous Festival in Vietnam
In Vietnam, people celebrate many different festivals each year. The biggest festival in Vietnam is
Tết. This celebrates the beginning of the Lunar New Year. Vietnamese people have to prepare a lot for this
festival. Before Tết, people buy fruits and flowers from the market and decorate their houses. Most people
buy a special tree with lots of flowers. In the north of Vietnam, people buy peach trees with pink flowers. In
the south, people buy apricot trees with yellow flowers. Everyone cleans their house before Tết. This is very
