Dear Louis,
Tet holiday is coming and I am very excited. My father and I will repaint the house this year. My mother will go shopping to buy something necessary for Tet. My mother usually buys sweets,fruits,apricot and peach blossoms,new clothes and other things. But we don’t buy fireworks because we will go to the My Dinh Square to wach fireworks. It’s so interesting.

Ah,we don’t give a cat as a present for anyone because it is a symbol of poverty
How about your Tet? Tell me.
Write to me soon,
Love,
