UNIT 4 .OUR CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS
Skills 1



Is she writing about her family or her society?


In my opinion, customs and traditions are very important. Like
other families, we have our own customs and traditions.
A.  Firstly, there’s a tradition in our family of having lunch
together on the second day of Tet. Everyone has to be there
before 11 a.m. We have followed this tradition for three
generations.
B.  Secondly, we have the custom of spending Sunday together.
We usually go to the cinema or go for a picnic. We don’t have to
do it, but it makes us closer as a family.
C.  Thirdly, we celebrate our grandparents’ wedding
anniversary on the first Sunday of October because they don’t
remember the exact date. The custom is that we have to cook a
new dish each year. Last year, my mum cooked lasagne, an
Italian dish. This year, we prepared five-coloured sticky rice
served with grilled chicken. We all enjoy these customs and
traditions because they provide our family with a sense of
belonging.

She is writing about her family.
