Part 2: Describe a historical event in your country.
You should say:
+ When it was
+ Where it was
+ Who it was
+ Why it was important


Today I'm going to tell you about one of the biggest milestones in Vietnam's history. It is the Declaration of Independence on September 1945. At that time, I wasn't born yet, but from what I've been told, it must been a very exciting time.

The event took place in Ba Dinh square, which is located in downtown Hanoi. Because of its historical significance, the square has become kind of a landmark. So as you can guess, it is a place frequented by a lot of tourists.

The most important person on that day was President Ho Chi Minh, who was a prominent political figure. He was joined by a lot of high-ranking government officials as well as generals in the army. And of course, thousands of Vietnamese were there, waving flags and rejoicing in the freedom of the country.

The Declaration of Independence was such a defining moment, because it meant that Vietnam officially became a sovereign state, ending an era of oppression of foreign forces.
