OK,I’d like to talk about a party I attended last year, it was enjoyable.

聚会目的

One thing our family does every year is to all come together in my grandmother's house celebrate her birthday. Her birthday comes in December, just 2 days after the Christmas.

地点人员

The whole clan was there. That is, my entire extended family including my uncles, aunts, cousins, and grandparents. We go to my grandmother's house because she's old and finds it difficult to travel very far, so it's easier if we come to her. I also saw my Uncle Bernard who's living in Germany. He can tell some side-splitting jokes.

We had a huge meal with my grandmother which everyone helped to cook. We sat around our dinner

table eating delicious food and catching up on all our news.Every family member gave my

grandmother a gift and a best wish.

为何喜欢

I love these big get-togethers because it's the only time I get to see some of my relatives.We live all over the country so without family events like this one we might not see each other at all. I like the way everyone is relaxed and enjoying themselves and not thinking about the pressures of their normal lives back home. It was rather a family party than a birthday party for us. It＇s great for everyone to catch up and come together as a family. We also played games together and generally had fun.By the end I was so tired I was falling asleep on my feet but it was good fun.
