READING

1) Read about the Vu Lan Festival in Viet Nam and decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).

Some people call it ‘Vu Lan Bao Hieu’ (Parents’ Appreciation Day). This festival takes place on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month. It is one of the largest festivals of Viet Nam after the Tet festival, and it is celebrated throughout the country, especially in the south.

During the festival, people participate in many goodwill activities and perform various religious rituals. They visit pagodas and temples to worship, release animals like birds or fish, and burn incense. They also buy presents and flowers as their offerings to show their deep love and gratitude towards their parents and ancestors.

Many people go to pagodas on this occasion, wearing either a red rose if their mothers are alive or a white rose if their mothers have passed away. The rose is a symbol of love and gratitude shown by every family towards their ancestors.
