II. Sample Essay Describing a festival in my hometown
'Celebrating Tet across my beloved countryside,
A thousand fragrant flowers display their beauty,
The children in their new clothes,
Run around joyously amidst the fireworks.'
In every corner of this beloved S-shaped land, the air is filled with the lively tunes welcoming the spring. The citizens of the capital enthusiastically participated in the dragon boat racing festival at the vast West Lake this year.
The boat racing festival takes place on the 9th day of the first lunar month. The festival, a beneficial activity, is organized to create a joyful atmosphere and enhance community cohesion. Early in the morning, twenty-seven racing teams from various districts of the capital city gathered to prepare for the race. It seemed that last night's drizzle had left a veil of mist, making everything invisible. But the mist couldn't hinder the racing teams. As time passed, the crowd of spectators grew larger. The mist gradually dispersed, and the sky became brighter. The event began with lively singing and dancing performances to welcome the new year. The organizers introduced the festival, and the drumbeat signaled the start of the festivities.
The resounding drum marked the end and the beginning of the festival. Each team of about twenty people, dressed in uniforms of different colors, boarded their boats. The boats were painted in vibrant colors, with dragon heads at the front and tails at the back. When the drum sounded to signal the start of the race, the teams began rowing. The seven-colored flags at the dragon tails began fluttering. From a distance, the boats resembled racing dragons soaring through the air. The teams rowed vigorously, creating ripples on the surface of West Lake. At that moment, the sun, which had risen unnoticed, dispelled the white mist from the world. The sun shone down, and the festive atmosphere of the race became even more jubilant. Along the shore, the local residents and tourists cheered incessantly. At that time, two teams were leading on the river: the green team from Dan Phuong and the red team from Tay Ho. In the blink of an eye, the red team swiftly approached the finish line. A minute later, the red and gold dragon touched the finish line banner in the middle of the lake. The judges blew their whistles and loudly announced the name of the winning team. The other racing dragons also raced towards the shore one by one. Everyone was jubilant and excited.
