 In my opinion, customs and traditions are very important. Like other families, we have our own customs and 
traditions.
 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.
 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.
 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.

XII. Read the passage, and choose the correct answers.
The thing I liked most when I was small was the change of seasons. Spring, summer, autumn and winter - I 
could see them all come and go and each one was completely different. Now in the city, you can buy summer 
flowers in winter and eat the same vegetables all the year round. Whereas, in the country, I could only eat things 
at certain times of the year, for example, strawberries in June and turnips in winter. I lived my childhood with 
the seasons.
We also made most of our food and would never eat frozen or tinned food. Everything was fresh, so it must be 
better than the type of food I am taking now in the city. City people may think people in the country miss a lot 
of things about modern life. In fact, in my opinion they miss a lot more than people in the country, they miss 
real life.
