In the world, there are many countries but I love Australia the best. Australia is located in southern hemisphere between the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean. This is the smallest continent in the world, 6th largest city with the area of 7,686, 850 sq km(slightly smaller than the contigous 48 US State). The population of the country is 21 million (July 2008 estimate) and the capital is Canberra. Australia is a beautiful country with the climate is generally arid to semiarid. The common languages here are English and native language. Australians are very kind and friendly. They loves sport including rugby, football, golf, swimming and cricket. If you want to choose some places for you holiday, Autralia will be an ideal places with a lot of destinations such as Sydney Opera House, Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, Sydney Harbour Bridge, Melbourne,...You also can try delicious traditional food like Barbecued shrimp, steak, dim sun, potato cakes, fifh and chip,..The country is really a attractive place to visit.

My country has a lot of custom such as: wearing “Ao dai”, reuniting family in Mid-autumn festival, making “Banh Chung” on Tet holiday,etc . However, the custom I would like people from other countries to adopt is cleaning and decorating the ancestral graves. There are two reasons why I want to choose it.
First of all, grave-visiting festival is on the fifth of January in lunar calendar It’s the time for people to visit their ancestor’s graves. While old members burn incense and clean the graves, children talk together and play some games. This action helps them to pay their ancestor the honour and show their respect to someone who passed away .
Secondly, in this special occasion, members in family can reunite and take care of each other. Family members make “banh troi”, “banh chay” to worship the ancestors. After that they eat together. Therefore, this custom makes family’s atmosphere warmer and warmer.
In short, I would like people from other countries to adopt this special custom because it’s really meaningful. It helps young generation to dedicate to their ancestors and keeps family spirit warm. Therefore, other country should adopt this custom.
