Describe a special event (e.g. festival, carnival or other celebration) that takes
place in your country.
One of the most popular festival in my country is Mid-Autumn or Tet Trung
Thu. Along with Lunar New Year, Mid-Autumn is an important occasion in
Vietnam, It tradidionally takes place on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month. In
the past, it is thought that the festival was a time for people to relax and gather
with family after the summer harvest was completed. Nowadays, Mid-Autumn
is mainly for children but it is also a great time for families and friends to come
together and enjoy the best moment of the year. The moon cakes and the sticky
rice are two items that are the most important preparation for the Mid-Autumn.
During the festival, children of all ages wear colorful mask and carry different
of candle lanterns. Last but not least, there are also those who perform lion
dance to every house in their neighbor with the hope that will bring fortune to
these households.
HISTORY
Describe a historical figure that you find the most impressive.
If someone asks me about one historical figure that I like the most, it will
definitely be President Ho Chi Minh. I am sure that President Ho is admired and
loved not only by Vietnamese people but also residents in other countries
around the world. He is a prominent leader and he led many resistances that
defeated foreign invaders to bring peace to our country.
President Ho is well known for leading a simple life and spending all his life
fighting for the happniess of Vietnamese people and the independence of the
nation.
He was born y in Nghe An province and he could understand the misery and
poverty that were caused by war to Vietnamese people. Therefore, at a very
young age of early twenty, he decided to go to some foreign countries to find a
way to save the country. He went through a lot of ups and downs but with his
decisiveness, he came back to Vietnam with innovative ideas to improve the
policies as well as eliminate invaders.
Describe a historical building you know
Well, the historical building I had a chance to visit is the Temple of
Literature, which is one of the most famous old structures in Vietnam, and a
must-see travel destination for almost all visitors who arrive in Hanoi, the
capital of Vietnam.
The temple was built in 1070 at the time of King Ly Thanh Tong. Then, it
was reconstructed during the Tran dynasty (1225 - 1400) The temple is located
to the south of Thang Long Citadel. It was originally built as a university
dedicated to Confucius, scholars, and sages. This building is extremely well
preserved and is a superb example of traditional-style Vietnamese
architecture. Despite wars and disasters, the ancient architectural styles of many
dynasties as well as precious relics can easily be seen. It shows one of the most
typical architectural styles
in Vietnam, composed of wood and tiles. Along the paths are hundred-year-old
trees that have witnessed ups and downs of history.I believe that the Temple
of Literature is attractive for visitors from all over the world
The historic site is ranked as one of Hanoi’s most important cultural
places and is steeped in Vietnamese history
Describe a museum that you have visited
A museum is an exciting place to learn about the past and histories of numerous
issues. A few weeks ago, I went to the Quảng Ninh Museum with some of my
friends.
