The Mid- Autumn Festival

This report shows how the Mid- Autumn festival was held in my neighborhood. The Mid -
Autumn festival was held on the 15th of August (According to Lunar Calendar). This festival was
specially organized for children. It was held in the yard of the Cultural House in my village. The main
festival lasted for about three hours when the Moon is at its fullest. During the festival, children took
part in various activities like singing and shouting, wearing masks, parading on the roads and banging
the drums.

107
 Besides, children ate a very special cake called Moon Cakes. I think this festival is a very special
occasion for Vietnamese people and for children to play and enjoy on variety of activities. Moreover,
children would understand more about Vietnamese traditions.

Dear Tuan,

I arrived in Australia a week ago and I think that my English is improving! I’m living

in a small flat near the centre of Sydney. It’s cheap and quite comfortable.

In your letter you ask what I’m going to do to improve my English. Well, tomorrow

I’m going to visit the language centre to see what English classes they offer there in the

evenings. Of course, I’m going to read a newspaper every day. I’m going to spend a lot

on cassettes because listening is so important! There are some good bookshops here, so

I’m also going to look for some other books to read before bedtime. I’m going to write

a diary in English – that’s a good way to learn English.

How are you getting on? I was sorry I had to leave in the middle of the course. Are you

going to write to me again?

153
 Hope to hear from you all soon.
