 5 Tom sent you an email. Read part of his email below.
 “ Guess what! My dad is taking me with him to Soc Trang 
 Province. We will be there during the Ok Om Bok Festival. What 
 are some dos and don’ts at this festival? ...”
Write an email (80 - 100 
words) to advise Tom 
about participating in the 
Ok Om Bok Festival. Dear Tom,
 Glad to hear you are coming to Soc Trang. You can’t miss the Ok Om 
Bok Festival. Here are a few things for you to remember when joining the 
festival.
 First, you should wear polite clothes when attending the Moon God 
offering ceremony. Always show respect to monks and elderly people. 
Remember to keep quiet when the monks and the elders are talking.
 Besides, there are many animal statues in the temple ground. Don’t 
climb on them. The young rice represents the hope for luck in the new 
year. Don’t refuse when the elders give you some.
 Send me an email if you need more information.
• Warm regards, CONSOLIDATION
