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.

Besides, children ate a very special cake called Moon
Cakes. They are filled with lotus seeds, orange peel,
ground beans, and sometime eggs and pork fat for
flavor.

Children went on playing traditional games until mid
– night.

I think this festival is a very special occasion for

- Pair works.

- Give feedback.

- Give feedback.
