         <description><![CDATA[<p>Name: Bùi Quang Minh                                                                                Tet holiday is one of the special events to celebrate a new year. It is important because it is one of the rare occasions to reunite with family and meet relatives. But for me, the beauty and the atmosphere of warmth have made it special.                                                                                                           <br>             During Tet, when going out, everyone will surely see shops selling flowers such as peach blossoms, apricot blossoms or other types of trees. These flowers have created a beautiful, bustling atmosphere for Tet, which shows that Tet is a festival of reunion, joy as well as representing life when all kinds of flowers and trees sprout, signaling a lucky year.                                                                              As for the warmth it brings, everyone knows that every Tet holiday, families prepare a feast together and decorate their houses. That makes the feelings and relationships of family members more connected and affectionate. That is the factor that makes Tet an indispensable holiday.                                                                             To include,Tet is a very important holiday for everyone, we can receive wishes, good words for everyone. Not only that, it also makes everyone happy, the pressure seems to disappear when Tet comes.                                      </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Name: Phạm Hà My</p><p>   On these recent days, there are a lot of ways to celebrate Tet holiday. Some prefer family reunions, others choose traveling to new places. But for me, I'd like to have a family gathering with my family and relatives.</p><p>   Firstly, Tet is an opportunity for family to come together and spend time with people we love. Lots of people have to work or study far away from their families and don't have much time to return back often. So Tet is the best chance for them to come back home and enjoy the warmth that they rarely have. Families can hang out together and buy decorations to decorate their house, cook a big feast, gather to talk about their work or study in the old year.</p><p>   Besides from the warmth that Tet can bring for us, Tet is a time to honor and worship the ancestors. Worshiping the ancestors is one of the most long-standing tradition and is the core aspect of Vietnamese people. By doing this, not only show the respect to our ancestors, also hoping that they will give every member in the family luck and protect them from bad things. </p><p>   But on the other side, I still think that traveling is a good way to celebrate Tet by their own way. Many people travel to new place to reward themselves a occasion to relax after a whole year working hard. Traveling provide lots of memorable and unforgettable memories for each person in the family. It also brings everyone together the same as family reunion. Otherwise, you discover many new things and also a chance for you to know more about the place that you travel to like the tradition, people or their lifestyles there. </p><p>   To conclude, both of them is a good way to celebrate Tet, both help us feel the warmth of a family and create many warm and memorable moments.</p><p><br></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>    Tet Holiday is a very important occasion to celebrate a new year, and some people use this day to travel everywhere. But in my opinion, family reunions is the best way to make Tet so special.</p><p>     We gather around at Tet to share our emotional stories together, eat traditional food and wear traditional costumes to visit houses and pagodas, wish for luck and fortune. Tet is also use to recall our ancestor and worship gods, buddhas for their blessing. At night, we play some games like solitaire, board games watch fireworks with families.</p><p>     Unfortunately, travelling is also a great way to experience new things and have new memories. Although it's not a traditional way to celebrate Tet, we can also learn how other places, countries prepare for this occasion. For example, Chinese give lucky money to children and elders, Vietnamese bake traditional cake like Chung cake,....</p><p>      To conclude, each way of celebrating Tet is also beneficial. But Tet is the holiday for families to gather, and that's why we should share times with relatives.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>              (* ' ^ ' * )</p><p>       Tet holiday, or Lunar New Year, is the most significant celebration in Vietnam. While some people believe that it is the best occasion for family reunions, others prefer to take this opportunity to travel. Both perspectives have their merits; however, I personally believe that spending Tet with family is more meaningful.</p><p>       On the one hand, Tet is traditionally associated with family gatherings. After a long and busy year, people return to their hometowns to be reunited with loved ones. Families usually clean and decorate their homes before the festival, often with peach blossoms or kumquat trees, which symbolize luck and prosperity. During the holiday, they enjoy traditional dishes such as <em>bánh chưng</em>, visit relatives to exchange the New Year greetings and give lucky money to children or elders to share happiness. Sometime, we can go to the pagoda to pray for health and prosperity. These customs not only create a warm and festive atmosphere but also help to preserve cultural traditions and strengthen family bonds.</p><p>       On the other hand, travelling during Tet has also become increasingly popular. Many people see this as an ideal opportunity to relax after a hard-working year and to explore new destinations. For families who rarely have time together, travelling can also provide memorable experiences and foster stronger relationships. In addition, visiting different places allows people to learn more about diverse customs and lifestyles within the country or even abroad.</p><p>       In conclusion, both family reunions and travelling offer valuable benefits during Tet. Nevertheless, I believe that celebrating with family is more important, as it preserves cultural traditions and deepens emotional connections, whereas travelling can be done at other times of the year.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>  Tet Holiday is the one of the most important and also the most traditional holiday in Viet Nam, some people enjoy the holiday by travelling with friend. However, in my opinion, family reunions is the best way to celebrate Tet Holiday and make it memorable.</p><p> Before the Tet, it's not very hard to see a shop have been selling the items related to tet already, such as chung cake, kumquat tree, lemon tree and many more types of flower, the vibe in Tet feel like we are going to the flowers garden. When we go shopping with family, we can feel that the price is cheaper because mom can bargain lower the money make it's funnier to see, buy more and more things to decorate the house. When the time has come, when it's the time to countdown, all the members of family sit together to enjoy the meam make it's more meaningful.</p><p> We also can't deny that travelling isn't as good as family reunions, because when we go to travel, we can also go with family. We can explore for the new things with friends or even with family, it's also has a different vibe or even a different feeling between that.</p><p> In conclusion, our may have the different answers of "how to enjoy Tet the right way?" but we can't deny that Tet is the best time to relax with family, go to the village to see grandparents, make people reduce stress for all the year.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Tet holiday is one of the most important traditional holiday in Vietnam. Tet is when people gather with their family to welcome a lucky New Year. It usually takes place in late January or February. Tet is full of cultural significance, it brings people together, raises bonding between family members. It's the time for family, a new begining and importantly, honoring ancestors.</p><p>Before we move to a new year, we always need to make sure that our house is clean and tidy. My family and I often clean the house and decorate it with attractive red or yellow decorations. After that, I usually follow my mom to go to buy peach blossoms, kumquat trees or sometimes other symbolic plants. My family rarely make banh chung or banh tet but it is rrally common for a family to make or buy them before Tet. Finally, we sometimes buy new clothes if the old one gets too tight, we can also buy gifts for children and old grandpa and grandma.</p><p>During Tet, we always have a family reunion. That is the time for us to gather and share what happened from the beginning of the year to each other. Then we go to visit relatives and our parents' friends and wish them luck in the next year. If there are children, adults usually give those red envelop with lucky money inside to them. And one of the most important part of the holiday is worshipping ancestors to show our respect and visiting temples and wish for a lucky new year. Lastly, before the new year, people do a countdown and then watch the fireworks while the old year passes by.</p><p>In conclusion, Tet is not only a holiday but also a symbol of Vietnam identity. Tet shows us the importance of keeping traditions alive.</p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>           There are a lot of festival in our country,but Tet holiday is the most important occasion to celebrate.Each person and family choose to spend these days traveling,but for me,I really enjoy the way that all members of our family gather together.                                            First of all,I really love the warm atsmosphere when we have a family reunion.We can enjoy some festivities such as decorating our house,sharing our story,visiting our relatives and having a big feast with a lot of delicious food together.Not only that,I’m really proud of my family because we still continue our cultural traditions in different ways.First,we visit our ancestors’ graves to clean up,worship and show respect.Second,we give lucky money to children and the elderly to pray for good things.Although the way we celebrate is too simple,I’m still proud and love the way our family continues our long-lasting tradition.                   Even so,I still can’t deny that celebrating the New Year by traveling is truly enjoyable experience.Spending the holiday in a new destination allows families to take walks together,explore famous attractions and create fresh memories instead of simple visiting relatives.This way of celebration doesn’t necessarily weaken family <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://bonds.In">bonds.In</a> fact,it can even strengthen them by providing share experiences.Further more,traveling gives us the opportunity to enjoy a variety of local cuisines,capture memorable photos and purchase unique souvenirs to bring back to our relatives and friends.                                                  Ultimately,no matter how we choose to celebrate the New Year,we can still preserve the wormth of family bonds and the joy it brings.</p><p><br/></p><p>              </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>  Name: Khánh Linh </p><p><br/></p><p>     On Tet - also known as Lunar New Year, some people prefer reuniting with family and relatives to travelling, while others have the opposite opinion. For me, as a family-oriented person, it is more essential to bring the family together on Tet holiday for several reasons.</p><p>     First, Tet has always been the most meaningful time for everyone to get together with family. For example, many people work or study far away from home throughout the whole year, so Tet is an ideal time for them to return to their hometown. Family members can do festivities such as having a traditional feast, visiting relatives, giving lucky money, worshipping ancestors, etc. These activities not only strengthen family bonds but also help us preserve our long-standing traditions. </p><p>     But it is undeniable that travelling is also a great way to enjoy Tet. This holiday is a long break from work and study, and it is a perfect chance to explore and find out new things. Travelling during Tet can reduce stress after a whole year of hard work, give us new knowledge about different cultures, lifestyles, traditions and bring unforgettable memories. Some families even travel together, which still allows them to both spend time with family and experience new destinations. For these reasons, travelling can also be seen as a good choice during Tet.</p><p>     Nevertheless, in my opinion, even though travelling brings us many benefits, I would still rather stay with my family during Tet. To me, Tet has a special atmosphere of reunions and traditions, which is not meant for exploring new things. We can easily travel at other times of the year, but Tet is an annual holiday, and its cultural meaning can’t be replaced. Spending time with my loved ones always makes me feel more connected, comfortable and grateful than travelling.</p><p>     In conclusion, both family gatherings and travelling during Tet have their own values. But I personally think that it is the best time to reunite because I believe this is the true spirit of Lunar New Year.</p><p><br/></p><p>Thank you for reading 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿🫱🏻‍🫲🏾🫱🏻‍🫲🏾🫱🏻‍🫲🏾</p><p><br/></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Nhật Vy</p><p>People in Vietnam have various ways to celebrate Tet holiday - one of the most important festivals in the entire year. Many families decide to go traveling or enjoy the nature in the countryside, but the other choose to stay at home with their family. For me, I think I'd be happier if I can be with my family members at home, but I can't lie that traveling during Tet is a brand new experience.</p><p>Tet is the perfect occasion for people to have special activities and enjoy the wonderful atmosphere in the city these days. Big family usually gather around, give lucky money to children and happily talk about what did they do, achieve and realize after a whole year. People will have time to visit their relatives - who they don't usually come see that much -  it's the time for the family reunion. Also, this is important to who lives far away from their house. They can come back home after a whole year of hard-working and studying, enjoy the few days beside their family, their parents and siblings. And look at the streets. They're decorated with red and yellow decorations, usually with the symbol of that year and wishes, too. People going to sightseeing attractions around the city, taking photos, have a cup of coffee or just go for a walk. It's typical to see Hoan Kiem lake being packed with people in ao dai, the Vietnamese traditional outfit. Everyone enjoys the urban atmosphere in their own ways.</p><p>But also, in controversy, traveling is not a terrible idea at all. It's surprisingly interesting to find out new things, discover about the local foods and traditions, especially if you travel to cities where the cultures are totally different from yours. These create new experiences, make your life more exciting and help you to reduce stress from work or study. Lots of people choose Tet to leave the city and immerse themselves in nature. Some of them would like to go camping outdoors, testing their life skills, the others love to try living a new life just like the locals. It is also common why people choose to travel instead of staying at home. They don't want to drive on the same roads those they go to work every day. Maybe...it's some kind of fear that you want to temporarily get rid of when the new year is going to come. They want to get away from the busy and crowded city to have a chance to enjoy the life they cannot have every day.</p><p>For me, I think I'd like to stay at home, watching the countdown ceremony, look at the firework displays from faraway and give wishes to my family. Maybe it's because I'm too lazy to get out of my house during Tet, but I think that's fine though. I hope I can travel to another city in the next Tet holiday, as if I haven't before. It'll be fun, I guess?</p>]]></description>
