Script:
The Gong festival is an annual festival that celebrates the culture of gongs. Each year, the five provinces in Viet Nam’s Central Highlands take turns hosting the festival. Many ethnic minority groups believe that gongs can be used to connect with gods. In many ceremonies like funerals, god worshipping, and harvest celebration, people play the gongs while others dance. This year, for the first time, the festival will welcome gongs artists from Viet Nam’s neighbouring countries. Festival goers will have a chance to see gong performances from many different ethnic groups. There is also a photo exhibition about gong culture. According to officials, if this year’s festival is successful, foreign gong artists will attend the festival more regularly.

When the fireworks light up the sky across the states in America, they signalise the transition moment between the old year and the new year. At Times Square, New York City, this sacred moment is illuminated by the traditional dropping of a dazzling ball. It’s fantastic to see the confetti rain down over the square and people cheer and take selfies to say a farewell to another departing year. Before this annual great event, numerous flocks of New Year’s Eve celebrants, beginning to head for the square at 2 p.m., join the big celebratory party and enthusiastically wait until the clock strikes midnight. A handful of festivities, like live music performances from famous artists, happen during this time. People can enjoy the bustling evening atmosphere among the enormous crowds in the avenues or observe the event on the rooftops of luxury high buildings. Although it’s inconvenient to wait long hours in cold weather to see the ball drop and colourful fireworks displays, it’s worth the wait.What is the passage mainly about?

Dịch bài đọc
Khi pháo hoa thắp sáng bầu trời trên khắp các tiểu bang ở Mỹ, chúng báo hiệu khoảnh khắc chuyển giao giữa năm cũ và năm mới. Tại Quảng trường Thời đại, Thành phố New York, khoảnh khắc thiêng liêng này được thắp sáng bằng nghi lễ thả một quả cầu lấp lánh theo truyền thống. Thật tuyệt vời khi thấy mưa giấy vụn rơi xuống quảng trường và mọi người reo hò và chụp ảnh tự sướng để tạm biệt một năm sắp qua. Trước sự kiện lớn thường niên này, nhiều đoàn người ăn mừng đêm giao thừa, bắt đầu hướng đến quảng trường lúc 2 giờ chiều, tham gia bữa tiệc ăn mừng lớn và háo hức chờ đợi cho đến khi đồng hồ điểm nửa đêm. Một số lễ hội, như biểu diễn nhạc sống của các nghệ sĩ nổi tiếng, diễn ra trong thời gian này. Mọi người có thể tận hưởng bầu không khí buổi tối nhộn nhịp giữa đám đông khổng lồ trên các đại lộ hoặc quan sát sự kiện trên nóc các tòa nhà cao tầng sang trọng. Mặc dù việc phải chờ đợi nhiều giờ trong thời tiết lạnh giá để xem quả cầu rơi và màn bắn pháo hoa đầy màu sắc là điều bất tiện, nhưng sự chờ đợi đó rất đáng giá.
