My Favourite Cultral Celebration

'Let me tell you about… the Heilala Festival that I celebrate. This is one of Tongan's most important festivals ever, because it is also known as the King's birthday (King Taufa'ahau Tupou IV). We celebrate this event, by creating, items, performances, clothes and many more. 

Every year, we have young contestants who showcase their talents through beauty and knowledge. People in the villages usually parade around the city  just to show their love and support . This year Yehenara from Hawaii was crowned as Miss Heilala, 2019. Island creations and colourful sarongs are showcased on a specific night, during the 2019 Miss Heilala Pageant, at the Queen Salote Memorial Hall. This year it began on July 22nd, 2019.

This takes place in Tonga, Nukualofa. Each contestant showcases their own performances that retell the story of their lifetime. Most of them usually present a tauolunga, which is a traditional dance that Tongan's do when a special event has taken place.  LI: To understand how and when to use commas. We use commas when: we write a list, seperate dialogue, before any FANBOYS, a city/suburb, date/year, introductory words and a rest in a sentence ( complex sentence/join ideas). Today our challenge was to write about our favourite cultral celebration using 5 - 7 - 10. 5 minutes to write, 7 minutes to share/edit with a buddy and 10 minutes to continue writing.
