Dear Susan,

It’s been a long time since the last time I wrote to you. A new year is coming, so I wish you and your family happiness and health. My family spent a cheerful holiday in our cozy house. In New Year Eve we had a big party with all my relatives, we got together, talked, sang and waited for the Ñrst moment of New Year 2012. During this holiday I knew more about some interesting customs of our country that I really want to share with you. Those are the things that we should do to bring good luck for a new year. The Ñrst thing is that eating black-eyed peas are said to bring richness and safety to the coming year. Another interesting custom is eating pork on New Year’s Day because pigs eat moving forward. Therefore, those who eat pork will move forward, too. One more thing is we consider cabbage as another "good luck" vegetable. Cabbage leaves are also considered a sign of prosperity because we believe that cabbage is the symbol of paper money. I know that you come from Viet Nam and your lunar new year is coming soon. I hope to learn more about the things you often do and your customs to bring lucks on Tet holiday.

Dear Susan,

In New Year Eve we had a big party with all my relatives, we got together, talked, sang and waited for the first moment of New Year 2012.

In the modern life, there is an increase in the people leave the countryside and migrate to the city. The objective reason is that in the city, it brings them comfortable life and favorite job. Subjective causes are due to the following disadvantages rural areas bring about push residents away. To begin with, there is no denial that rural infrastructure is not modern and advanced. Roads are quite narrow and degraded. Schools, hospitals are not cared much and remodeled. Especially the quality teachers and doctors here are just little so the inhabitants have less opportunity to develop in all way than in the urban area. Last but not least, the biggest disadvantage in rural areas is that job opportunities are so race. The main job is craft, farming, which bring a relatively small income. With that salary, we can only live through the day, not afford for services, shopping, entertainment… In conclusion, besides the positive aspects, life in the countryside is very much. disadvantage. We all need to consider carefully before choosing where to live.

Dear (người nhận),

I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you about the family rules that we have in my home. Family rules are important as they help create a harmonious and respectful environment for everyone.

Firstly, we believe in open communication. We encourage everyone in the family to express their thoughts and feelings freely, while also listening to others with respect and empathy. This helps us understand each other better and resolve conflicts peacefully.

Secondly, we have a rule of mutual respect. We treat each other with kindness and consideration, regardless of age or relationship. We believe that everyone's opinions and choices should be valued, and we strive to support and encourage each other in our endeavors.

Furthermore, we have a rule of shared responsibilities. We believe that everyone in the family should contribute to the household chores and responsibilities. This fosters a sense of teamwork and teaches us the importance of taking care of our living space.

Lastly, we have a rule of quality time. We prioritize spending time together as a family, whether it's through shared meals, outings, or game nights. This helps us strengthen our bond and create lasting memories.

These family rules have helped us maintain a loving and respectful environment at home. I would love to hear about your family rules and how they contribute to your household dynamics.

Take care and write back soon!

Warm regards,
