SAMPLE ANSWER  ↓
Thank you a lot for this topic. I will talk about a handmade gift that I gave to my younger sister when she was only 7 and how I actually made it.
Well, the gift was a soft doll (I must confess that doll did not look that great as I made it when I was only 15 years old and I had little skills making such things). Yet my sister loved it so much and I felt so proud for making this gift for her. It was a late winter evening probably in 2001 when I took my sister to the market to buy her a pair of shoes. On our way back to home, she showed me a large doll displayed in a fancy toy shop. She told me that she would love to own a doll like that.  My sister’s birthday was approaching and I wanted to make her a beautiful doll before her birthday. I used to make soft toys, paper flowers, and other types of crafts in my childhood as a passion but making a doll was something I never thought I would do someday. However, I dared to make one and worked for more than 7-8 days to finally make something that I could claim as a doll. I took a fine quality fabric with different colours just to give a vibrant look to my doll, I used needle , thread, glue and lots of sequins  to make this doll stunning.I tried to mimic my sister’s facial features in this doll. When I gave this doll to my sister, she was so amazed that she kissed me and thanked me again and again. She even recognised that I tried to mimic her face in that doll. Then I told her that ‘the name of this doll is Emmy’. She laughed and told me that it was even more beautiful than her.I basically wanted to make my sister happy and to give her something before her 8th birthday. So I decided to make doll all by myself

Task - 2 Governments spend a lot of money on public celebrations such as national holidays and public festivals. Some people say that the government spends too much on this and that they should use this money on other useful things. Do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
