I am Choi Yi Seob. I have lived in Ha Noi for nearly five years. My wife and I enjoyed two Tets in
Ha Noi and two others in South Korea. This year, we will stay here. My wife – a traditional
Vietnamese woman and myself often go together every year to the flower market to buy peach
blossom, a kumquat tree and many flowers to decorate our house.
I have learned how to cook Vietnamese traditional dishes. I really love Nem (spring rolls). I think Tet
is really a traditional custom and Viet Nam should keep it. Every country has its own traditional
customs, so it is better to celebrate it according to the lunar calendar rather. The tradition has to be
the pride of the nation. In our country, Lunar New Year, known as Seollal is one of South Korea’s
major holidays.
While Viet Nam has banh chung (rice square cake), nem (spring rolls), xoi (sticky rice), gio lua
(pork-pie), South Korean has tteokguk (rice cake soup) and 20 other dishes such as wild vegetables,
Korean style pancakes, various types of fish, japchae (noodles with meat and vegetables) and many
more.

3. What’s his favourite dish?

 ENGLISH 9 - HOMEWORK

the nation.............................
