My Weekend
September 20, 2022

Hello, readers! I want to tell you about a trip to my hometown last weekend. My hometown is a small town in the country, about 150 kilometers from Đà Nẵng. It’s a traditional place.

The country always has so much fresh air and space to do things. The city is too crowded and loud.
It was the Mid-Autumn Festival when I was at home, and my whole town celebrated it. I enjoyed eating traditional food, like mooncakes and fruit. You could decorate your own mooncakes, too. I watched the lantern parade with my family in the evening. There were even fireworks to watch. The next day, I picked vegetables from my parents’ garden, and my mom cooked a delicious meal for the whole family. It was so tasty.
