* Model report:

This report shows how the mid-autumn 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 mid-night

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
