Now use the notes to write an article about this festival for the school website. Remember to add any necessary connectors below to make compound and complex sentences
This festival is Ooc bom boc. It’s held by our ethnic group in Soc Trang on the 14th and 15th evenings of the 10th lunar month. We worship OUT Moon God at the festival. We thank him because he gives us good harvest and plenty of fish in the rivers.
There are many activities: first we have a worshipping ceremony at home, under the bamboo archway or at the pagoda. When the moon appears, the old pray to the Moon God and the children raise their elapsed hands to the moor. The offerings are green rice flakes, coconuts, potatoes and pia cakes. Then we float beautiful paper lanterns on the river, and the next evening, we hold thrilling dragon boat races.
