The National Day 2/9 is the speacial day of our country. All of people are joyful, glad and have a lot of exciting plans like as : visitting Uncle’s Ho moselium, going to the movie theater or places of entertainment ... I just had a interesting trip in the Bat Trang pottery village on that day. But It must took two hours to go from here to there, therefore that juorney really made me very tired. We leaved at 6.30 am. It may be quite early. Because when we arrived there, a few stores still hadn’t opened yet. Finally we decided to go to the pottery nearly. Making pottery is the work which requires cleverness and creation. At the first time when I have seen the potters rotate the throwing and make potteries by their hand, I did think that it’s very simple to put the clay body on the turntable of throwing then control of your hand cleverly to create the shape you want. but I were wrong, in fact, if you‘re only careless a little your pottery’ll be out of shape. What a pity! I also tried to make a cup myself and it had never finished.In the pottery, I sudden heard a sound “ Hi! Are you PTIT?” I looked up realizing that sound of Leo( another member of ELFs). That is real a interesting amazement in my trip. We had talked to each other happily.After an hour, we went to paint statues. There were a lot of people like this art game. I must tried so much to get a sit and choose a statue I like best. Almost people concentraded all their mind on painting so much that they didn’t know everything around them. I chose a lovely frog. It seems to be quite like the one in my inventory of our forum. I painted it as carefullly as posssible. How hard the choice of colours was!. Eventualy, I made up my mind to paint the body’s frog in the green; the feet and hands in yellow, the mounth in red; the cheek in white and had more some red dots. Wao! I thought it was very cute!. I like it so much!. If you see it, you ‘ll certainly like it as me.When we came back the the Bat Trang pottery market. There were a lot of people there. Most of the stores always crowed with buyers. The ceramic wares there were very plentiful and multiform which attractted the attention of domestic customs as well as international customs. With me the imperessional potteries were ceramic pictures, vases, bracelets, belt, ear-ring…and a lot of art statues which I had never seen before. There were many cute and lovely ceramic wares suitable of the girls. So It seems the girls like shopping there rather than the boys. I also bought a few lovely things made me pleasure. Speacial I bought a vase and a bundle of beautiful-decorated chopticks for my mother . I ‘m sure she ‘ll like it.About 2 pm, we took a bus and come back home. That was a wonderful day. I’ll remember that interesting trip forever.

Festivals are spices of life. They add charm and colour to our daily life. They break the monotony of life. That is why, people eagerly wait for festivals and spend so much of money and time in celebrating various festivals. India is a land of various religions, cultures and races, each having a variety of festivals of their own. Holi, Dussehra, Diwali, Maha Shivaratri, Easter, Christmas, Id-ul-Fitr, Muharram, etc. are the major festivals of India. Among these Christmas is one of the most joyful festivals of the world.
Generally, Christmas is celebrated on December 25th all over the world. It is a celebration of the remembrance of the birth of Jesus Christ who is supposed to be the saviour and redeemer of the world.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
Christians believe that Jesus Christ was born in a manger at Bethlehem in Israel about two thousand years ago. That event is remembered on this day. Christians make Christmas cribs in resemblance of Bethlehem manger and adorn it with decorated Christmas trees, lighted lamps and stars.
A significant aspect of Christmas is the greetings and wishes which are sent to friends, relatives and well-wishers. Christmas cards have become so universal that today men of all religion and caste send them to their friends and relatives. No other festival can claim such a trend. Thus, it is a festival for all the people of the world. On this day people exchange greetings and share meals.

For Vietnamese, Lunar New year is the most important festival of a year because it is the beginning of a year. If we have a good beginning throughout first three days of year, we will have much luck during that year. Therefore, the activity of welcoming Tet festival is celebrated carefully in order to avoid unfortunate mistakes. And according to each area of the country, Vietnamese have different ways. Although I am a Vietnamese, I don’t know how families in other parts of my country welcome Tet holiday. My family, an age –old Southern family, usually celebrates Tet as this following way. Tet holiday begins on twenty-ninth of December. We start on decorating our house and preparing food for tet holiday. My father and I are responsible for tidying up our house. Quickly, the house becomes splendid with a very beautiful apricot blossom full of sweet-smelling blooming flowers in the middle of living room. On the branches, we also put some lovely greeting cards which make the tree more beautiful. When we finish our duties, my mother and sister also finish cooking. The kitchen is now full of delicious dishes whose smell float into the air. We usually keep many kinds of food in our kitchen in New Year festival. At lunch, we prepare a big feast to donate the ancestors. At the New Year‘s Eve, our family usually gather together. We watch television or play some traditional games. Until the clock strikes twelve tones to signal the moment of a new year, we donate the ancestors again. Then, my sister and I say “happy new year” to my parents and get lucky money from them. Next, we have a big meal to welcome New Year. Although all of us say nothing about our senses at that time, I know every body is cheerful and hopes for a lucky year. In three Tet days, we are usually well-dress to visit our relatives, teachers. We bring offerings to sacrifice ancestral altars, congratulate the olds on advancing in years and say New Year’s greetings to the others. Although we all are quite tired in these days, we are really joyful. Thanks to Tet holiday, we become closer and closer. Tet festival is very significant for Vietnamese, and these are all of my Tet holiday. I hope every year we have three great Tet days so that we have an extremely smooth year.
