TOPIC 34: "Write about one of your family's Tet holiday. Describe it in detail, tell how you feel about it and what it means to you."
1. I graduated from college 3 years ago and now I’m working for a company in Hanoi. My hometown is Ha Tinh province; I was born in a poor village where people live mainly by agriculture. After graduation, I decided to stay in this city, earn money to support my family. I hadn’t come back home to celebrate Tet for 2 years because of the high cost, it was a difficult time for me. Last year, after 2 years working hard, I saved amount of money and could go home to enjoy a fully happy New Year.
Sitting on the bus on the way home, I felt excited and the way was so long in that day. I missed them very much. The moment I got off the bus, saw my parents standing on the side of the road waiting for me, I suddenly burst into tears.
We collected fruits and made Chung cakes together to sell. I was happy when talking to my parents about what happened to me, my happiness, sadness, troubles and received good advice from them. I realized that my parents got older and weak; I loved them so much and felt guilty about not being able to take care of them; I was acutely aware of my responsibility.
I also had a chance to visit my relatives’ houses and wished them a happy New Year. Tet in villages was not noisy and busy like cities but overflowed with love and careness. My hometown hadn’t changed much, people here was still poor and had difficult life; however, they were always optimistic in life and treated me like their daughter, their niece.
That was an unforgetable journey and memorable Tet that I have ever had in life. Living far away from home is so difficult, but my family is the greatest motivator that helps me overcome troubles and live better.
2. 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
