As far as I know Mid-Autumn Festival, held on the 14th and 15th day of the lunar month, there are a wide range of activities such as children carrying paper lanterns, lion dances, and selling mooncakes, sticky rice, and various sweets. Households set up an altar /'ɔ:ltə/ during the night of the MidAutumn Festival. So, this is a good holiday for us to enjoy warm atmospheres together. Do you think so? HÀO: Yes. You can say that again. It is the most suitable. Because Tet holiday is so long. It often lasts 1-2 week(s), So, people will be tired about this when spending much time to play or travel. Additionally, It is not expensive, you do not need to prepare so much money for decorating, cooking as Tet holiday. Do you? BÌNH: Yes, How about Hung King’s festival? HÀO: Amm!

Watching the sunrise is romantic. Especially, when I go with family, I can spread out a rubber sheet and then I can drink beer, eat seafood and watch the sunset together. This moment is great and also strengthen a good relationship. The beach is a great time for laughter, fun and relaxation. Do you think so? HÀO: Yes. You can say that again. It is the most suitable. Going to mountain is not the best choice. Hiking the mountain is very tired or even exhausted. Maybe you are in danger or injury if you don’t know how to climb Besides the weather may not good, it is not ideal for your family. Do you? BÌNH: Yes. How about go to a big city? HÀO: Amm! That is also not good idea. nowadays, the big cities are polluting and overcrowded, enjoy fresh air or beautiful sightseeing is impossible.

So, you and another friend are discussing to find the best option.

HÀO: Hey Binh! How is it going? BÌNH: Not bad! And you? HÀO: Nothing special! You look worried. What wrong with you?

BÌNH: I am going to celebrate a surprise birthday party for my friend Nga this weekend. I am considering one of these three places for the party: at another friend’s house, at a restaurant, or at a coffee shop.

Maybe, I go to the house of my friend to celebrate. HÀO: Oh nice! Why do you choose that? BÌNH: Yeah! Firstly, we feel free to do something I want. I and my friends can decorate everything we want with colorful items. Besides we can cook the special food that Nga like the most. She will be very happy about that. Especially my friend’s house is spacious, we can sing or dance comfortably /'kʌmfətəbli/

Do you think so? HÀO: Yes. You can say that again. It is the most suitable. Additionally, you all can save more money. When renting a restaurant to organize a party, you have many things to pay such as server, food, decorating,…Most restaurants are expensive. You must prepare more money for the surprising party.

Do you? BÌNH: Yes. How about the coffee? HÀO: Amm! That is also not good idea. You cannot sing or dance with loud music. People will complain about this. You all have to speak with small voice. Do you want to organize a party with speaking nothing? Haha just kidding

So, what is your final decision? BÌNH: Definitely! I am going to my friend house. Thanks for giving me a piece of advice. It is helpful for me to compared those places before making final decision. HÀO: Don’t mentioned it. I have to go now. Have a nice party! BÌNH: Goodbye. Take care!
