Russ : I often go to Times Square with my parents to welcome the New Year. When the

clock strikes midnight, colourful fireworks light up the sky. Everybody around is cheering
and singing happily. I love that moment so much.
Wu : I love the first day of the New Year most. After getting up we dress beautifully and
go to the main room. There my grandparents sit on a sofa. We bow and say our wishes to
them. They will give us lucky money in red envelopes. After that, we go out and have a
day full of fun, good food and laughter.
Mai : I learnt some beliefs about Tet from my parents. At Tet people present rice to wish
for enough food, red fruits for happiness. Dogs are lucky animals. Their barking sounds
like ‘gold’. But one shouldn’t present a cat because its cry sounds like the Vietnamese
word for poverty. Don’t eat shrimps. They move backwards and you will not succeed in
the New Year.
