Audio script:
Last summer holiday my family went back to the UK and we went to a music festival on the Isle of Wight. It is one of the most famous music festivals in our country, which takes place every June. When we got there, I was impressed by the huge number of people. You know about sixty thousand people went to the event. We didn’t stay at a hotel but put up a tent in the campsite. It was lots of fun. We listened to a lot of songs by many bands such as The Killers and The Stone Roses. Guess what? We met Jon Bon Jovi! He’s my dad’s favourite singer. He and his band stirred up the crowd in nearly three hours with the hit songs. We also went to the Bohemian Woods, a beautiful woodland down by the river. There we enjoyed a mix of good music from around the world and escaped the busy and noisy festival for a while.

Model 1 (to the class): The festival I attended
Seven years ago, I attended a very big festival in Hanoi. It`s called 1,000th Anniversary of Thang Long - Hanoi Festival. There are a lot of activities in this festival such as fireworks display, military parade, music performances, ect. It was organized very splendidly because the organizers are the Vietnam government. Millions of people came to Hanoi to participate in this great festival. It was held for ten days from October 1st, 2010 to October 10th, 2010. I saw lots of fireworks, parties, parades during these days. It was interesting. I took so many pictures on this festival because there were plenty of beautiful scenes. We organized this great festival to celebrate the 1,000th anniversary of Thang Long - Hanoi.

The festival I attended last year is the Buffalo Fighting. It is annually held in Do Son - Hai Phong on the 9th day of the 8th lunar month. The most typical reason for the buffalo fighting festival is to express the martial spirit of the local people in Do Son, Hai Phong. The festival is attached to a Water God worshiping ceremony and the “Hien Sinh” custom.
The festival starts with the worshiping ceremony. After that, 16 buffaloes and their owners are ready for the final. Each round, one pair of buffaloes is led to opposite sides of the festival grounds then they rush into each other. Each couple of buffaloes will fight three times to find the winner. The thing that I like most in this festival is the exciting atmosphere from the spectators. It is more than watching a football match between 2 famous teams.

Last year I attended a very large festival in Nui Sam - Chau Doc city, An Giang province. The great festival is held annually by the Temple Committee. From the 23rd to the 27th of the fourth lunar month, the locals and people around the country gather to take part in the event to honor a Holy Protector Goddess called “Ba Chua Xu” with the hopes that she would bring them greater crops as well as happier and wealthier lives.
During the festival days, many traditional, cultural and religious activities and dances are organized. Especially on the 25th night, the most sacred ritual (“bathing” the Goddess) takes place. After that worshippers touch the Goddess and ask for her protection and blessing.
