This report shows how the rice-cooking festival was held. The festival was held in the communal house yard about a / one kilometer away from a river. There were three competitions: water-fetching, fire- making and rice-cooking. The festival took one day.
In the water- fetching contest one person from each team had to run to the river to get the water.
In the fire-making contest two team members had to make a fire in the traditional way. They tried to rub pieces of bamboo together to make the fire.
Six people from each team took part in the rice-cooking contest. They had to separate the rice from the husk and then cook the rice.
After the three contests, all the points were added and the Thon Trieu group won the grand prize. The festival was wonderful.

This report shows how the Mid-Autumn Festival was held in my neighborhood.
The Mid-Autumn Festival 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 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.
Besides, the children ate a very special cake called Moon Cakes. They are filled with lotus seeds, orange peel, ground beans, and sometimes egg and pork 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 especially for children to play and enjoy on a variety of activities. Moreover, children would understand more about Vietnamese traditions.
