However, "li xi" is not limited only on the first day, but can even last to the 9th or 10th day of Tet Festival, and given when the adults first met the kids. Besides the money, the tiny red envelope also has its own meaning.

The red color, the most popular color appearing in Vietnamese festivals, signifies the prosperity and great luck according to Asian’s beliefs. In the morning of the first day of Lunar New Year, children and parents will visit grandparents’ home, wishing for a happy new year and great health, showing respect and gratitude, and giving gifts.

5. Hello. This is Tieng Anh 8. Unit 4. Listening Test.// Task 1. Listen to Amy talking about the custom of drinking tea around the world. // Match the country with its information.// You will listen TWICE.// Now listen and match.// India produces and consumes more tea than any other country in the world. Chai is the national drink in India. In Japan tea is an important part of the food culture. The ceremony of tea is known as matcha - serving green tea to a small group of people in popular teahouses. It’s almost impossible to spend 24 hours in a Moroccan city and to not be served hot tea. Moroccan mint tea is literally the heart of their culture. New Zealand imported considerable amounts of tea in 19th century, with the arrival of the British missionaries. Today people experiment with other types of tea like the Japanese green tea, or Chinese tea. In 2014, tea was one of the most popular non- alcoholic drinks in the United States. Today we can say that coffee is still preferred for the morning ritual, ice tea is often consumed with lunch and all types of tea are drunk in the evenings. (Dừng) Now listen again.

You can enjoy the beautiful surroundings and spend lots of time outdoors. In the city, there is much less space for outdoor activities. What’s more, people in the countryside are generally nicer. It is common that you know everyone in your village, whereas in the city you may not even know your next door neighbour’s name. This is partly because people in the city are too busy with their work. In the countryside, the living standard is not too high, so there is less pressure to earn much money. Therefore, you will feel more comfortable and relaxed. Social safety is another advantage. Crime rate is normally lower in the country compared to that in big cities. This is particularly important for families with small children. All in all, living in the countryside is the best choice.
