a time without the hustle and bustle of big cities. Back then, the majority of the population lived in
rural villages and relied on agriculture. Most people were farmers who spent their days cultivating
rice and vegetables.

The daily routine was physically demanding. Farmers worked hard in the fields from dawn till dusk,

the village. Usually, only rich families could send their sons to school to learn to read and write.

"The Internet has completely changed the way we live today. It has become an essential part of our

with people all over the world instantly. Distance is no longer a big problem. We can send emails

for work, make video calls to see our relatives, and chat with friends through social media apps

front of a screen can be bad for our eyes and general health. Many people forget to exercise because
they are glued to their phones or computers. Furthermore, the online world contains fake news and

Tet Holiday in Vietnam
Tet, also known as the Lunar New Year, is widely considered the most significant and celebrated
festival in Vietnam. It marks the arrival of spring and usually takes place in late January or early
February, depending on the Lunar calendar. For Vietnamese people, this is a special time for
reunions and happiness.
Weeks before the holiday, the atmosphere becomes very bustling and exciting. People spend days
cleaning and scrubbing their homes to sweep away bad luck from the old year and welcome good
fortune. Houses are beautifully decorated with bright flowers. In the North, people prefer pink peach
blossoms, while yellow apricot blossoms are the symbol of Tet in the South. Everyone goes
shopping to buy new clothes and prepare traditional food. The most famous dish is "Banh Chung," a
savory sticky rice cake filled with pork and mung beans, which is essential for every family altar.

During the festival, family members gather to enjoy delicious meals and share stories about their
lives. It is a lovely tradition for children to dress up in their best outfits to give well-wishes to their
grandparents and parents. They wish them longevity and health. In return, the adults give them
"lucky money" inside small red envelopes as a symbol of luck and growth. Besides family time,
people also visit pagodas or temples to pray for safety, success, and prosperity for the coming year.
Tet is truly a time of joy, hope, and love.
