Bài mẫu giới thiệu ngày Tết bằng tiếng Anh hai miền:

For hundreds of years, Tet has been a traditional festival and ritual ceremony across Vietnam. Its importance in spiritual life as a break-off period was honored by ordinary people and royal dynasties. When Vietnam came into the new world, many things happen to change, yet Tet stays as it has been for generations, with a few modern twists.

From every street, every house, and every window, any foreigner could spot that this biggest holiday is coming so close. Businesses and schools start to close down between the 23rd and 27th of December (Lunar Calendar), for students and employees to pack up and head home. Red lanterns and Tet-style LEDs are hung up everywhere; commercial advertisements now only field Tet-vibe. In some public spots or large areas, kumquat trees, peach blossoms, or apricot blossoms are planted and decorated. 

Yet, Vietnamese businesses don’t basically stop. Our individual household businesses start weeks before Tet. Tet Fiona markets are open in every municipality of Vietnam, from small villages to crowded cities, with thousands of “Tet” trees.

Though both the Southern and Northern regions have many common things, Vietnamese people still easily tell them apart. Northern Tet’s traditional dishes focus on its complexity in detail, layers, and taste; while Southern Tet’s traditional dishes focus on its simplicity, folklore-kind in the table. However, we still have the same dishes like steamed white-cut chicken, deep-fried spring rolls, or sticky rice. In the North, people would have ‘Chung’ cake (a square-like cake that is stuffed with meat, beans, and sticky rice, covered in “dong” or banana leaf and steamed) and sticky rice cake as offerings to ancestors; while the Southern people would choose “Tet” cake (a similar cake to “Chung” cake but is longer) as offerings. 

Yet, no matter where you are, Vietnamese people always reach for the unity of the family, on the, maybe, most sacred holiday. Many people who are workers, students, or even Vietnamese overseas, try to come back home for a reunion. 

Hope you guys have a beautiful Tet holiday!

What is the most important festival in your country?

The extremely important event to all Vietnamese families must be The Vietnamese New Year or Tet.

One of the most indispensable festivals in my country as well as other Asian countries is Tet, or we call it Lunar New Year Festival. It has significant meaning as it’s the moment when the old year is over and the new year is celebrated.

The fireworks start on New Year’s Eve and many Vietnamese people, especially the younger generations tend to flock to some popular locations like Nguyen Hue Walking Street to watch these and celebrate the beginning of a brand-new year.

According to tradition, first-footing on New Year’s Eve is deemed crucial as this can influence the new year’s fortune. Vietnamese people often wish each other peace, health, luck and prosperity for the upcoming year. It’s the quality time to spend with our nearest and dearest that makes Tet so special and unique.

It’s more like a time for reunions, a moment to reflect what’s happened and prepare for the fresh start , and most importantly, an occasion to enjoy ourselves, recharge our batteries as well as cherish the most valuable things in life.

Từ vựng hay:

Indispensable /ɪndɪˈspensəbl/: Không thể thiếu

Has significant meaning /həz sɪɡˈnɪfɪkənt ˈmiːnɪŋ/: Có ý nghĩa đặc biệt

Flock to /flɒk tə/: Đổ xô tới

First-footing /ˌfɜːst ˈfʊtɪŋ/: Xông đất

Fortune/ˈfɔːtʃuːn/: Của cải

Prosperity/prɒˈsperəti/: Sự giàu cỏ

Recharge our batteries /ˌriːˈtʃɑːdʒ ɑː(r) ˈbætri/: Hồi phục lại năng lượng

Quality time/ˈkwɒləti taɪm/: Thời gian quý báu

Cherish/ˈtʃerɪʃ/: Trân trọng.

Describe an interesting tradition in your country.

Vietnam is well-known for having rich traditions so there are a number of interesting practices that I can think of off the top of my head. There’s one in particular that I think is really intriguing and strange at the same time which is ‘’burning fake money’’ tradition and I can’t wait to share with you in details.

From my knowledge, the custom of burning fake money is deeply rooted in East Asian culture, especially in China and Vietnam for thousands of years. It often occurs on the 1st and 15th of every month based on the lunar calendar. These rituals are also performed on the death anniversaries and funerals of loved ones throughout the years and it is especially grand during the Tet holiday.

Asians in general and especially Vietnamese follow this tradition in a very serious way. We believe this is an essential way to show respect to the dead and wishing our ancestors to start their new year with plenty of money in their spiritual bank.

Alongside fake money, Vietnamese people also burn away various types of paper models like multi-storey houses, motorbikes, servants and and other valuable items.

All in all, this practice has become an important part of our culture and I’m sure it won’t die away easily. With that being said, I think we should treat our close family wholeheartedly when they’re still alive rather than burning fake things to them once they’ve passed away.

Từ vựng nổi bật:

Burn fake money /bɜːn feɪk ˈmʌni/: Hóa vàng

On the top of one’s head: Bật nhớ trong đầu

Intriguing /ɪnˈtriːɡɪŋ/: Thú vị

Deeply rooted /ˈdiːpli ˈruːtɪd/: Bắt nguồn từ

Ritual/ˈrɪtʃuəl/: Nghi lễ, nghi thức

Death anniversary /deθ ˌænɪˈvɜːsəri/: Ngày giỗ

An essential way of showing respect: Cách để bày tỏ lòng kính trọng

The dead: Người đã mất

Paper model /ˌpeɪpə ˈmɒdl/: Đồ vàng mã

Wholeheartedly/ˌhəʊlˈhɑːtɪdli/: Bằng cả tấm lòng

Bên cạnh đó còn 3 bài mẫu theo kiểu đề Describe an important holiday that is celebrated in your country mà bạn có thể tham khảo qua link này nhé: An important holiday

Speaking part 3

1. Describe another important event

(Give a direct answer to the question) Well, there are a variety of crucial events in one’s life that are worth recalling. (Explain your reason or reasons) Last year’s Tet holiday is quite memorable because our extended family reunited and had a whale of time.

In our tradition, we start the year with the hope of eliminating the bitterness and failure of the past year and start a fresh year with the hope of fortune and happiness.

During Tet, there are a lot of long-preserved customs, such as giving lucky money to children, visiting friends’ houses and going to churches, temples or pagodas to pray for their family

2. Is it possible for the Vietnamese chairman to write letters for citizens over 100 years old as the queen write letters for them in her country?

(Give a direct answer to the question) This question is quite out of my depth, to be honest, yet I would say that it is quite possible. (Explain your reason or reasons) Actually, I just know that our national chairman maintains the annual tradition of sending the formal Happy New Year’s letter to citizens of every part of the country.

3. How do people celebrate public events?

(Give a direct answer to the question) In my opinion, the ways to celebrate public events vary from country to country and even from people to people (Explain your reason or reasons) During major public events, street lights change colors, decorations are hung, and festivals turn sleepy downtowns into large-scale celebrations for locals. Just as families and individuals adorn their homes with ornaments and trimmings, cities use their public spaces to welcome the end of the year and local holidays. (Give an example (often a personal example)) For example, each year on December 31st, the streets and squares of big cities like Sai Gon or Ha Noi are filled with people celebrating the new year.

4. Do you think it is important to celebrate events?

(Give a direct answer to the question) Of course it is. Festivals have both social and economic benefits. (Explain your reason or reasons) Festivals act like stress relievers and help us balance our emotions. More positivity naturally lowers negativity. It also provides an opportunity to reduce friction and brings estranged friends and relatives together in a bond of love. (Give an example (often a personal example)) As a matter of fact, many celebrations focus on cultural or ethnic topics and seek to inform community members of their traditions. They involve community elders sharing stories and experiences; setting templates for maintaining unity among families.
