    WRITING
    1. Mid-Autumn/mɪd//ˈɔt̮ əm/ Festival/ˈfestɪvl/ is held/held/ on the
    15th day of the lunar/ˈluːnər/ calendar/ˈkælɪndə(r)/ every year.
    2. The Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated/ˈselɪbreɪtɪd/ in many
    cultures and regions across/əˈkrɒs/ Asia. Here are some of the
    names it is known/nəʊn/ by:Moon Festival or Mooncake
    Festival in Chinese culture.Chuseok or Autumn Eve in Korea/kə
    ˈriːə/.Tsunami or Moon Viewing in Japan/dʒəˈpæn/.Lantern
    Festival in Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia.Bon Om Touk or
    The Water and Moon Festival in Cambodia/kæmˈbəʊdiə/
    3. The full moon during this festival symbolizes/ˈsɪmbəlaɪz/ a
    family reunion/ˌriːˈjuːniən/, reminding people of their
    hometowns/ˈhəʊmtaʊn/ and loved ones. After the family
    reunion dinner, people will go outdoors to admire/ədˈmaɪə(r)/
    the full moon.
    4. When Mid-Autumn Festival comes, we will be able to
    process the star lanterns while singing/ˈsɪŋɪŋ/ the song "Mid-
    Autumn Festival Lantern/ˈlæntən/ Procession" and then
    gather/ˈɡæðə(r)/ together to eat moon cakes, drink tea and watch
    the moon.
    5. Moon cake is a dish associated with the Mid-Autumn
    Festival. Without it, there would be no flavor of the festival
    because it is the dish that brings everyone in the family together
    to eat and talk.
    6.
    6.1 When I was small, I was often told about the legend of Cuoi
    with his banyan tree, and I absolutely love it.
    6.2 “CUOI AND THE BANYAN ON THE MOON” is a
    famous story about the mid-autumn festival.Uncle Cuoi has a
    large banyan tree that has medicinal properties. One day, he
    went to treat a neighbor because his wife had poor memory, so
    she forgot her husband's reminder and poured a bucket of dirty
    water into the tree, causing the banyan tree to slowly pull its
    roots out of the ground. At that time, Cuoi came home and had
    an ax with him. Cuoi cut down a banyan tree stump to keep. But
    helpless. The wind kept taking Cuoi and the tree straight to the
    moon.Since then, on the ground, looking up at the moon,
    especially in the full moon nights, we have seen the image of
    Cuoi (Moon Boy) sitting beside the banyan root. And also since
    then, Moon Palace has become the residence of the Moon
    Boy.The fairy tale Moon Boy makes the moon more mysterious
    and attractive.
    7. Star-shaped /ʃeipt/ light, moon cake, Lion dance
    8. Yes. For example, eating moon cakes, lion dancing, and star
    lantern procession
    9. Of course, the Mid-Autumn Festival will now be much more
    developed/dɪˈveləpt/ than before. For example, in the past, during
    the Mid-Autumn Festival, people used to make beautiful paper
    lanterns with candles, but now we have many different beautiful
    designs, but even though they have changed, we still feel happy
    to eat Moon cake with family to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival
    10. Yes . When I was young, my neighborhood often held Mid-
    Autumn Festival for children. Each person will have a lantern lit
    with candles/ˈkændl/, then will line up to carry the lantern. I still
    remember that feeling, it was so fun. We are looking forward to
    it. Whether it rains or not, we are still determined to leave in an
    excited mood. If one of our/ɑː(r)/ friends accidentally/ˌæksɪˈdentəli/
    burned out the lamp, the whole group would burst into laughter.
    Looking back now, I still feel happy and that memory will stay
    with me forever
