CUE CARD: A FAMILY EVENT

Đề: Describe a happy family event from your childhood.

You should say:

• what the event was

• where it happened

Bài mẫu trả lời:

A happy family event that I still remember clearly from my childhood was making Chung cake for Tet holiday at my grandparents’ house.

What you saw and did: When I was small, our family would get together to make Chung cake for Tet holiday. My grandparents had six children; therefore, I had many cousins. And the great thing was that my cousins and I were around the same age. At that time, we were too small to do anything, so basically, we played with each other while we watched the adults prepare the ingredients for the cake. Sometimes, we got to eat the leftover food after all the cakes were finished. Tet holiday was the only time of the year that we were allowed to stay up late, one reason why it is so memorable. Although the winter was cold, we all felt cozy inside; we had so much fun together.

And explain why you remember this event so well: Since my grandfather passed away a couple of years ago, we stopped our family tradition. In addition, some of my cousins had already gotten married and had their own families, and some had gone to study abroad. Consequently, it was very difficult for us to get together like old times. Missing this special family tradition makes it so unforgettable for me and I hope we can start doing it again in the future.
