Describe a historical event.
Throughout the history, Vietnam has undergone many ups and downs. But despite being a small country, we were able to defeat many better-armed and more powerful enemies, notably the Americans in Vietnam War. So today I would like to talk about one of the greatest milestones in our history, the Reunification Day. To be precise, it took place on 30th April, 1975. After gaining control of the neighbouring provinces, Vietnamese troops entered Saigon with a rapturous welcome from its citizen. According to the elders I know, it was a moment of great rejoicing when people from all walks of life crowded the streets in ao dai coupled with flags and banners. At 11.30, Vietnamese national flag fluttered on the Independence Palace, marking the end of the Vietnam War and also the liberation of the South for a national reunification. Moreover, today, 30th April becomes a national holiday. Every year, Vietnamese people organize a range of festivals to pay tribute to those who sacrifice themselves for the countries and celebrate an unforgettable event in our history. Many Americans of multiple ethnicities also observe the day for remembrance and solidarity.
