I want to talk about an important national holiday in my home country.

One of the most important national holidays in my home country is the Naadam, a traditional type of festival in Mongolia. The festival is also locally termed "eriin gurvan naadam", "the three games of men". The games are Mongolian wrestling, horse racing, and archery and are held throughout Mongolia, (which is divided into 21 provinces), during mid-summer holidays. The biggest festival is held in the Mongolian capital, Ulaanbaatar, during the National Holiday from July 11 - 13, in the National Sports Stadium. Naadam is the most widely watched festival among the Mongolians. This festival has a long time history. So it is important, traditionally. Since I a was a little boy, I have been watching this festival every year. The reason why I think it is an important national holiday, is when I was a jockey as a little child, in my initial racing, I was 5. I have been riding race horses for nearly 10 years. So, I like this festival, as a matter of fact, I love it.
