Mai: Last week I was with my friends in the History Museum of HO Chi Minh City. There was an interesting
royal clothing exhibition from the Nguyen Dynasty (1802-1945). The clothes looked expensive and fancy but I’m
sure they weren’t comfortable at all.
Tim: Our last school trip to the Natural History Museum wasn’t boring but surprising. The building was beautiful,
the food in the café was brilliant and the exhibits were really interesting. The most popular were the dinosaurs.
The Diplodocus was 26 meters long. And the Tyrannosaurus Rex got 15-centimetre-long teeth.
Jess: My school trip to a farm was terrible. There weren’t any exciting animals and the café wasn’t very good. But
it was great fun at the National Motor Museum last week. There were many cars and motorbikes in the collection.
Bluebird, the fastest car in 1964, was my favorite. Was it strange? – Yes, it was very big and long.

My family’s party
John: I’ll never forget last July. That’s when my big sister and her boyfriend decided to
get married, and my parents had a fantastic party at our house to celebrate.
First, my mum and I went shopping for food and drink. At six o’clock, my sister’s friends
arrived for the party. At seven o’clock, my dad started the barbecue in the garden and after that
we cooked potatoes and burgers. It was a very warm night. We ate the food and then Dad started
the firework display – that was a great surprise. Finally, at about eleven o’clock, everyone went
home.
There were about twenty people and we all had a good time. Only our dog didn’t enjoy the
party. He stayed in the house – he didn’t like the noise of the fireworks! It was a great evening
and I was really happy.

Bob: Last Saturday I went to a football match with friends. We travelled by bus and
the journey took two hours. On the way to the stadium, there was a traffic jam. We arrived
late, so we did not have time for lunch. We just ate two loaves of bread and drank some
lemon juice.
After half an hour it started to rain. I did not have a coat so I got very wet. We still
stayed there to clap for our team. However, our team did not play well. The lost 5-0. The
other team played so well with many good players.
After the match, we took some photos with our team. Although they lost the game,
we all loved them so much. We had a chance to get together in a small restaurant near the
stadium. We all talked a lot and enjoyed a good meal. Anyway, we had a great time
together! I really enjoy the day with friends and my team!

Thanksgiving Day
American celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday on the fourth Thursday of November. Families meet for a
special meal including turkey, corn, potatoes and pumpkin pie – a popular dessert. Then families do activities
together or watch TV.
The Thanksgiving festival celebrates the first harvest of the Pilgrims – a group of religious settlers. In
September 1620, they left England for America on a ship – the Mayflower. That winter, when they arrived, they
were very cold and didn’t have enough food. So half of them died. A Native American leader, Squanto, visited
the settlers. His people showed the settlers how to grow corn and vegetables and how to hunt animals for food.
In Autumn 1621, after a good harvest, the Pilgrims held a big celebration to thank God. They invited the
Native Americans. For three days, they ate together. Also, they played games, sang songs and danced. It was the
start of a long tradition.

Vietnamese Mid-Autumn Festivals
The way people celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival differs from generation to generation as society keeps moving forward.
Although traditional Mid-Autumn celebration activities for children and families are not so popular nowadays as they used to
be decades ago, the timeless cultural value of truth, goodness, and beauty are always honoured, and practiced in a variety of
ways.
There is something new about today’s Mid-Autumn Festival. It’s the presence of colourful electronic lanterns that play
music, aside from the traditional star-shaped paper-and-bamboo lanterns, and a lot of baked and white mooncakes with flavours
that better meet consumers’ changing tastes. Just like many other traditions, Mid-Autumn Festival has changed to catch up with
the modern life.
