Dear Chi,

What's up? I'll tell you about the Do Son Buffalo Fighting Festival. Every year, on August 9th according to the lunar calendar, this celebration is held. The festival's primary event, the buffalo fighting competition, two male water buffaloes against one another in a contest of strength and prowess. I also enjoy spending time with my family and friends, eating and drinking, and participating in folk games and other cultural events like lion dances.

I hope you'll be able to attend the event with us one day.

Cheers,

Nhi

Hi Einzbern,

Last week, I went to a trash picking festival in Ohio. It was a ton of fun. The festival is celebrated every year, to raise environmental awareness of Ohio people. In that festival, you can pick up trash and sell it to the host for some money. You can also learn about different ways to reduce the pollution at the 'Eco-tent'. I did enjoy myself a lot, Ohio people were very friendly and supportive to a foreigner like me. I intend to go there again next year.

See you,

[Your name]

Hi [Your friend’s name],

I hope you're doing well. Guess what? Last weekend, I attended the Cherry Blossom Festival with my family. The festival was held in the local park, and it was packed with people from all over the city. The festival takes place every year during the blooming season of cherry blossoms, which is a significant event in Japan and signifies the start of spring. We strolled through the park, admiring the beautiful scenery and took tons of pictures. There were food stalls, live music, and cultural performances all around. I loved trying out traditional Japanese cuisine like sushi and takoyaki. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience, and I would love to go again next year.

Take care,

[Your name]

I hope this email finds you well. I wanted to share with you about the Lantern Festival that I attended in Vietnam last week. It was an amazing experience! The festival was filled with colorful lanterns, traditional Vietnamese music, and delicious street food. I was fascinated by the beautiful lanterns of different shapes and sizes. The atmosphere was so lively and festive, and everyone was friendly and welcoming. I had a great time and would love to go back again next year.

Best regards,
