There are many differences between my nation's traditional festivals and Western festivals. The most significant difference is the way they spend their holidays. In Vietnam, people usually stay at home with their family and enjoy a family reunion. In contrast, during Western festivals, people often enjoy traveling or going on adventures, as their holidays are usually longer than Vietnamese festivals. Western holidays can last about one or two months, while Vietnamese festivals last only a few days.

For example, instead of 'go adventure,' using 'participate in adventurous activities' would be more sophisticated. The use of 'family reunion' is excellent. Pay attention to vocabulary repetition to improve the overall score.
