Hanoi autumn & childhood memory about mid-autumn festivals

Autumn finally comes. It has always been my favourite season. Yellow sunlight, blue and transparent sky, gentle winds, I feel like I'm in heaven. Hanoi in autumn is very beautiful. Hoankiem lake is like a quiet girl with a dress made of mist and yellow leaves, and long willow hair.

When I was a child, autumn was very special because of the mid-autumn festival. My parents made lanterns with waste paper and thin bamboo, then put a candle in the middle. I was excited for a month before the mid-autumn day. On that day, I bought my lantern and walked through my small village with my brothers, my sisters and other children. Sparkling lanterns in mid-autumn night is the most wonderful scene of my childhood memories. Also, I can eat delicious moon-cakes, which were very scarce at the time (because we are so poor, it is not easy to have a full meal, and cakes is something so luxury very luxurious). There are two types of moon-cakes: grilled moon-cakes which is salty, and limber soft moon-cakes which is sweet.

Hi Nguyen Trang. I enjoyed reading your submission! Autumn is my favourite season too, and I wanted to know more about Tết Trung Thu which is coming up very soon so I'm glad you wrote this. I don't think 'limber' is the best word to describe the sweet moon cake. Maybe soft is what you were going for. As for the rest: your tenses and singular/plural use is almost perfect. Very nice!
