Christmas is my favorite holiday. I enjoy baking Christmas cookies and planning parties. I like sending cards and
hearing from old friends. I love seeing children open their presents on Christmas morning. Most of all I love one
special custom that we have in our family. On the night before Christmas we dress up in warm clothing and go
from house to house in our neighborhood. At each house, we sing Christmas songs. Then we go to a hospital or a
home for elderly people and we sing there. We want to let people know that we care about them. After that we
come home and drink hot chocolate by the fire place. I love this!

LET'S VISIT TOKYO
Tokyo, which is the capital of Japan, is one of the three largest cities in the world. In the
twelfth century, Japan's capital was an island city named Kyoto. Six hundred years later, many
people from Kyoto had moved to a city called Eyed. They had renamed it Tokyo and had made
this city the capital of all Japan.
Today, Tokyo is a busy place. It is a center for business and education. It is also a center for
religion. In addition, Tokyo University, the beautiful grounds of the Imperial Palace, the famous
Imperial Hotel, built in 1920 by an American, Frank Loyd Wright, and many fine shops, stores,
theaters and eating places can be found in this capital. In downtown Tokyo, many large, new
buildings made of concrete and steel may be seen. Some of these were built after the earthquake of
1923. Others were built after World War II.

to year. Vietnamese people usually make preparations for the holiday several weeks beforehand. They tidy
their houses, cook special food, clean and make offerings on the family altars. On the New Year’s Eve, people
sit up to midnight to see the New Year in, then they put on new clothes and give one another the greetings of
the season. Tet lasts ten days. The first three days are the most important. Vietnamese people believe that how
people act during those days will influence the whole year. As a result, they make every effort to avoid
arguments and smile as much as possible.
