Teacher’s comments Mrs. Đặng Thị Hồng Giang Student Nguyễn Minh Thiền APPENDIX Tug-of-war Campfire Bamboo pole dance Playing card Putting up tents Campsite C Last week, my friends and I had a trip to Danang city to experience Danang International Fireworks Contest (DIFC). It was a two-day long trip. A Because the trip lasted only two-day long, we did not prepare much. We just bought some cookies, drinks, and some small gifts for friends studying there. We started the journey at 10 a.m., and arrived in Danang at 1 p.m. We rested in a local guest house later on. That night, together with thousands of people in the city, we enjoyed fireworks displays from Japan, Portugal as well as Vietnam. They were terrific. D The day after, we went around the city. After the lunch at a small restaurant, we visited Hoi An - the ancient town. It was very beautiful. At around 5 p.m. we left Danang city with a wish that we could stay a bit longer. B All of us were quite tired after the trip, but we all felt happy. .
