* Model report:
This report shows how the midautumn festival was held in my
neighborhood.It 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 3 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 road 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
sometimes eggs and fork fat for
flavor.
Children went on playing
traditional games until midnight
I think this festival is a very
special
occasion
for
Vietnamese
people
and
specially for children to play
and enjoy on a variety of
activities. Moreover, children
would understand more about
Vietnamese traditions.
