MY VILLAGE

I live in a village by Mekong River. Every day, like most of my friends, I walk to school. It is
three kilometres away. After class, I often help my mother to collect water from the river and
feed the chickens. At the weekend, the villagers often gather at the community hall where there
is a TV. The adults watch TV, but more often they talk about their farm work and exchange
news. The children run around, playing games and shouting merrily. Laughter is heard
everywhere.
My father sometimes takes me to the market town nearby where he sells our home products
like vegetables, fruits, eggs… He then buys me an ice cream and lets me take a ride on the
electric train in the town square. I love those trips.
On starry nights, we children lie on the grass, looking at the sky and daring each other to find
the Milky Way. We dream of faraway places.

Shortcoming of Festivals.
Although there are many interesting things people can get from the festivala, there are
also some disadvantages.
The first thing is that it is normally very costly to celebrate a festival. Due to the fact that
most festival aim to preserve and develop the traditional cultural heritages, the government is
willing to spend a lot of money on this occasion. Besides, during the festival, most people do
not work and only spend money on preparing food and buying expensive gifts for their ralatives
and friends. That’s also a reason why it is said that a festival is often costly.
The second disadvantages is unsafe during a festival. It is estimated that there are
hundred accidents during a festival, particularly road accidents. There are many dangerous
festivals like cow- racing, elephant racing which may be very dangerous for people, especially
for children. Moreover, in some fetival, when rushing to join the events, people may also cause
other people to get hurt.
The last disadvantage is festivals may affect the environment seriously. People tend to throw
away waste cans or bottles after a festival. Furthermore, trees along the roadsides may be
damaged by the aprticipants. Noise pollution is result from the noise of the performances and
the noise from the crowds.
