Question
Describe a gathering your enjoyed.
Sample answer
Thank you very much for the topic. There are many occasions that I remember when people came to our houses and among them I would like to talk about my younger sister’s birthday occasion when more than 50 guests came to our house.
It was two years ago and I went to my home time three days before my sister’s birthday to celebrate the occasion. It was mid January and I had some day offs at that time. I planned to stay for a week there. Initially my thought was that the birthday would be strictly a family celebration and no other guests would be present. But after I reach home, I learned that many people have been invited and my family is arranging a big party for the birthday occasion.
I went to shop to buy a gift for my sister as well as any last moment shopping needed for the party. I also bought some fancy items to decorate the house and bought a new dress for my sister. I helped my father on some of the pending tasks regarding the party and went to invite 3-4 of my friends. On the celebration day, I greeted many guests, made sure that they have been offered relaxing places to sit and talked to many of them. When my sister cut the birthday cake, I took lots of photos and finally helped my family members to take care of the guests.
More than 50 people came to the party including some of our relatives, neighbours, my sister’s friends and 2-3 of my friends. Amazingly I found some of the relatives who I have not met for a long.
The feast for the birthday celebration was in the evening and guests was supposed to have dinner at our home. The guest started coming from the early evening and we greeted them. After 1 hour or so, my sister cut the cake and we enjoyed a light food then. The guests enjoyed their stay and some of them gossiped, some of them watched TV and many of them were sitting in different places of our house. At the dinner time, we served the dinner to the guests. The social gathering was the most important part of the party and people seemed like enjoyed each other’s company. At around 9:00 pm people started leaving our home and once again we greeted then and thanked for their time and lively participation.
