Topic 1: 

In my neighbourhood, people still observe many traditional customs. During Tet, the Vietnamese Lunar New Year, families clean their houses to welcome the new year and avoid bad luck. They also offer food and flowers to their ancestors. Many families gather to enjoy traditional food like bánh chưng and fruit. On the first day of Tet, children go to their grandparents' houses to receive lucky money. In addition, people celebrate the mid-autumn festival with lanterns and moon cakes. Everyone in the neighbourhood gets involved, making sure to keep the traditions alive for future generations.

Topic 2: 

Last summer, I had a pleasant experience when I went on a trip to the beach with my family. The weather was perfect, not too hot or too cold. We spent the day swimming in the ocean and playing volleyball on the sand. In the evening, we enjoyed a delicious seafood dinner while watching the sunset. It was a great time to relax and forget about the busy days at work and school. I felt happy to be with my family and enjoy the beauty of nature. It was a simple but very enjoyable day that I will always remember.

Topic 3: 

Over the past five years, my lifestyle has changed a lot. I used to spend most of my time watching TV and playing video games. But now, I try to exercise more regularly. I go for a walk every morning, and I also practise yoga to stay healthy. I have also started eating more fruits and vegetables. I used to eat a lot of fast food, but now I prefer cooking at home. These changes have made me feel better and more energetic. I am happy with my new lifestyle, and I plan to keep it up in the future.
