V. Bài mẫu IELTS Speaking Part 2 - Festivals

Đề bài:

Discuss the Mid-autumn festival in Vietnam. You need to mention:

•  
  • when the festival occurs
  • why it is celebrated
  • what people do to celebrate

and elaborate on what you enjoy or dislike about it.

Example:

Besides Tet holiday, the Mid-Autumn or Fullmoon Festival is another significant celebration in Vietnam. This festival occurs annually on August 15th according to the lunar calendar, coinciding with the fullest and brightest moon. Its origins trace back thousands of years ago, initially celebrating abundant harvests and fertility. Nowadays, it's primarily a festival cherished by children.

Mytourarations usually commence a month prior to the festival. As the day approaches, the streets are filled with the vibrant practices of dragon and lion dancers, and numerous stalls emerge across the city, each offering various brands of mooncakes in beautifully decorated boxes. Mooncakes are iconic to this festival, symbolizing completeness and unity through their round, moon-like shape.

This delicacy comes in an array of exciting fillings, ranging from traditional sweet fillings like green beans and lotus seeds to more contemporary flavors like durian or matcha. Other symbolic dishes served during this occasion include lotus roots, green sticky rice, sweet rice ball soup, and watermelon.

However, the festivities intensify on the festival's actual day. On the night of the full moon, children carry brightly lit star-shaped lanterns, forming lantern processions and touring neighborhoods while singing songs.

This tradition originates from the folk tale of Cuoi, a man who accidentally floated to the moon on a magical banyan tree and became stranded there. The light from children's lanterns guides Cuoi back to Earth. Additionally, the captivating dragon and lion dances are indispensable parts of the celebration.

The dragons and lions visit homes along their route, performing dances that bestow blessings of luck and prosperity upon the household. In return, the hosts offer them lucky money as a gesture of gratitude.

As a child, this festival and the anticipation leading up to it were my favorite times of the year. I could indulge in plenty of mooncakes and candies to satisfy my sweet tooth, and join my friends in colorful lantern parades with the dragons and lions. Moreover, my grandparents used to be skilled craftsmen who made star lanterns decades ago, although they ceased their craft in recent years due to waning public interest in traditional handmade lanterns.

All my lanterns were crafted by my grandparents, and they even taught me how to make one once, a challenging yet enjoyable experience. Although I now have less time to celebrate, the memories and images of those joyful days remain vivid in my mind, reminding me of the happiness of bygone years.
