3. Viet Nam is a country which has a
lot of beautiful sights and a variety
of culture. In spite of foreign
influence, Vietnamese people have
managed to conserve many
distinct native customs which
have always played a vital role in
daily Vietnamese life throughout
the millennia. Vietnamese culture
is comprised of the 54 main ethnic
groups, presenting vivid cultural
elements unique to the cultures of
each group. Today, more and more
foreigners are going to Viet Nam
for traveling and trading. This
make us feel proud of our country.
So we should maintain and
conserve Vietnamese culture as
well as Vietnamese traditional
festivals.
