The Mid Autumn Festival
This report shows how the Mid- Autumn festival was held in my neighborhood. The Mid
- Autumn festival was held on the 15 th 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.
104
Besides, children ate a very special cake called Moon Cakes. I think this festival is a very
special occasion for Vietnamese people and for children to play and enjoy on variety of
activities. Moreover, children would understand more about Vietnamese traditions.

The Great Wall of China
In the country of China, there is a wall that is 1,500 miles long. It is called the Great Wall
of China. It winds uphill and down, through valleys and mountains. Every inch of this 1,500 mile wall was made by hand.
The Great Wall of China was made many, many years ago. The people of China made it
to keep out their enemies. There are watch towers all along the way. The wall is made of brick
and earth. It is high and wide on top. People can walk along the top as if it were a road.
It is said that it took ten years to build one part of this wall. No other defense line has
ever been made as long as the Great Wall of China.
