Almost all countries in the world have a day for children to think of their mothers. Viet

Nam is no exception. Vietnamese people choose Lunar July 15 th as a day to appreciate all

mothers and we have a special name for this occasion, the Vu Lan season.

On this day, people often go to pagodas to pray for the best things for their mothers. It is

a tradition that every child wears a rose on his or her shirt. Those whose mothers are still alive

wear red roses and those whose mothers passed away wear white roses. A Vietnamese musician

wrote a song named Bong Hong Cai Ao to praise all mothers. He compared mothers to the sun,

the smile and the stars. On this occasion, everyone hopes to wear red roses since the greatest

Television enables us to see things in distant places. It is indeed one of the most wonderful

things that man has ever invented. Television not only entertains people but also teaches people a

variety of important things. Through this wonderful invention, we learn about people and events

thousands of miles away. Pictures taken in all parts of the world are also shown on television for

entertainment as well as for instruction. Short films based on popular stories are often shown to

entertain millions of people all over the world. In some countries, television is used to teach

pupils and students many useful fields such as technology, art, science and so on. Students who
cannot go to school because of transport or other problems are taught all their lessons at home

through television. As television appeals to the eyes instead of the ears, people enjoy watching

television more than listening to the radio. Listening requires knowledge of many things, but

what we see with our eyes explains itself.
