SUMMERFUN
Tyler Jacobs, February 10
I love going to different festivals. I went to a great festival in my town last week called SummerFun. They hold so many great things there. There were lots of stands selling traditional foods and drinks. I ate so much. They also had lots of shows. I watched the fashion show and the talent show. I didn't have time to watch the puppet show, and I think puppets are boring. My friend, Jane, and I did the lug of war. We lost but it was still fun. My favorite thing was the music performance at the end. It wasn't Jane's favorite, though. Hers was the talent show. I can't wait for next year's festival. I'm going to bring all my friends.

A Famous Festival in Vietnam
In Vietnam, people celebrate many different festivals each year. The biggest festival in Vietnam is Tết. This celebrates the beginning of the Lunar New Year. Vietnamese people have to prepare a lot for this festival. Before Tết, people buy fruits and flowers from the market and decorate their houses. Most people buy a special tree with lots of flowers. In the north of Vietnam, people buy peach trees with pink flowers. In the south, people buy apricot trees with yellow flowers. Everyone cleans their house before Tết. This is very important because you shouldn't clean it during Tết. During Tết, people visit their family and friends. Few people go to school or work. Children wear new clothes and get lucky money. It's a great time to watch lion dances and fireworks. Everyone is happy and excited about the New Year. Vietnamese people love to celebrate this festival.
