      Tet is coming. This year, Tet will come in late January. Two more months and I can't wait.             
      I love going to the spring market with my mother. I love watching the peach blossom and apricot blossom. They are the spirit of Tet to me. We will buy a branch of peach blossom. It will be nicely decorated and placed in the living room.                                                                                                 
      And the firework display on New Year's Eve! My father takes me to the show every year. Then we will buy some sugar canes to bring luck home. I will not pick leaves on the trees. That's not good for the environment.
