Gợi ý:
As everyone knows, vietnam is a multi-cultural country because there are 54 ethnic groups. It's also the reason that there are some customs and traditions in vietnam. We are the Kinh and at the past we followed some good customs and traditions and one of them is vistiting pagoda at the new year'eve. This custom has changed and let's know more about it.
At the past, people choose the good day to go to pagoda and wish. They hope they will have a safe and lucky life.
But Today they do that in the new year's eve and all of the day at Tet.
At the past, each village has an own pagoda. And they go to this pagoda to wish.
Now, this custom is changed. Because of the mantal, people go to the pagoda which they hear it is miraculous. It's so bad.
