Family Celebrations
What
family celebrations do you have in your country?
What
happens at these celebrations?
Some
people hold family gatherings once a year where many extended family members
get together. Do you think that's a good idea?
Example:
One of the happiest events in my life was when my family and I went to the Aquarium in Dalian. It is the biggest and most spectacular aquarium in Asia.
I
was nine at the time and had had a very bad summer holiday that year, since I
had to stay home for most of the break because I broke my leg. My Mom and Dad
did not tell me about the trip until week before we left. When they first told
me I did not believe them, but they finally convinced me that we were really
going. The day before we left I could hardly sleep because I was so excited. We
had done a lot of packing and preparing, but I still did not feel sleepy.
Eventually when I did drift off, I had a dream about riding a dolphin. It took
us about ten hours by train to get to Dalian. When we got there we got settled
in our hotel and then had dinner.
The
next day we got up very early and headed for the Aquarium. We saw so many
different kinds of beautiful fish, exciting shows, and listened to interesting
stories from the tour guides. My favourite was the dolphin show. The
entertainers rode on the dolphin's backs, and one entertainer even got flipped
high into the air from a dolphin's nose. I love my parents so much for giving
me such a special opportunity and memories that I will cherish all of my life.
