At school that day, we eat chestnuts and there is a concert where all students sing songs or play instruments. After we make a contest to choose the girl and boy the best and most fun of each course. Later there is a karaoke contest and won the competition has a prize.
We believe that this festival is not bad but the concert is very long, every year the same people win the contest for the best, people sing badly, but it's fun anyway because we do not courses and we laugh a lot.
Goodbye!! Kisses!
