In my country, there are many amazing festivals, and my all-time favorite one is the Mid-Autumn Festival. The festival takes place in the 15th of August in Lunar year, when the bright-est full moon in the year appears. At that time, the weather is just about perfect: it is neithertoo hot nor too cold, which is well-suited for outdoor activities. These days, adults usually goshopping for fruits, cakes, candies and flowers, while children gather together to show off theirnew toys. At night, as soon as the moon rises, streets are filled with people. They sing aloud,play games and enjoy the lion dancing.

Furthermore, in a traditional family, the father takes all theresponsibility for the whole family. In other words, he works and earns money to support thewhole family, while the women tasks are within the house such as bearing children and doingall housework. Now in a modern family both husband and wife are equal; they share householdchores and make money together. Finally, as members in a nuclear family are more tightly knit,

they are more willing to build up a healthy family life. In summary, above are some differencesbetween a traditional Vietnamese family and a modern one.
