Happy New Year!
Linda: Phong, does Viet Nam celebrate New Years?
Phong: Yes, we do. We call it “Tet”.
Linda: When is Tet?
Phong: At different times. This year, it’s in January.
Linda: What do you do at Tet?
Phong: We clean our homes and decorate them with flowers.
Linda: Is Tet a time for family gatherings?
Phong: Yes. It’s a happy time for everybody.
Linda: Great.
Phong: Yes, and another good thing about Tet is children get lucky money.
Linda: That sounds interesting. Is there anything special people should do?
Phong: We should say “Happy New Year” when we meet people, and we shouldn’t break anything.
