Mid-Autumn Festival is of my most
favourite festivals. It is held on the 15
th

day of the 8
th
lunar month every year.
It’Ss the time when Vietnamese people
celebrate the largest full moon in the
year. The children have parties with
special cakes and grapefruits. They
also parade in the street with their
beautiful lantern, which come in all
shapes and sizes. Adults buy moon
cakes for their relatives and friends. It
is a great time for not only children but
also adults

- Gives remarks and correct mistakes.
Assigns homework
enjoy the music show played by our
school band and other students.
After that we give our teachers
beautiful flowers, cards and best
wishes. We also pay a visit to our
former teachers in the afternoon.
I enjoy Teachers’ Day because
it is on that day that we can show
our gratitude towards our teachers.
