 Sample Answer ▼
Happy and sad events are a part and parcel of our life.The happy event I am going to talk about here is the wedding of my cousin.I attended this wedding on 15th August.My cousin‟s name is Jaspreet. She is my maternal aunt‟s daughter.All our relatives and friends were invited.Actually the whole week before 15th was busy in the pre-wedding traditional celebrations like jago, mehandi and haldi. On the day of the wedding, the marriage palace was decorated like a bride. My cousin also looked beautiful in her sequin spangled lehanga. The baraat came at 10 a.m.High tea was served in which there were lots of cakes and snacks. Then there was the ceremony of "Lavan phere". The bride and groom exchanged fresh flower garlands. Then we all danced and enjoyed to the beat of music. After the sumptuous lunch all the guests departed and only the close family was left. The doli took place in the evening. It was a very tearful moment for all of us but we were all happy from deep inside as my cousin was beginning her new life. Such celebrations are very common in my country. Since then I have not attended any such ceremony but there is another wedding in the family next month.

WRITING TASK-2 (ESSAY TOPIC)

Task - 2 Some people say that economic growth is the only way to end hunger and poverty, while others say that economic growth is damaging the environment so it must be stopped.  Discuss both views and give your opinion.

To protect their livelihood, the farmers built a wire fence, 3,307 miles of continuous wire mesh, reaching from the coast of South Australia all the way to the cotton fields of eastern Queensland, just short of the Pacific Ocean. The Fence is Australia’s version of the Great Wall of China, but even longer, erected to keep out hostile invaders, in this case hordes of yellow dogs. The empire it preserves is that of the woolgrowers, sovereigns of the world’s second largest sheep flock, after China’s - some 123 million head - and keepers of a wool export business worth four billion dollars. Never mind that more and more people - conservationists, politicians, taxpayers and animal lovers - say that such a barrier would never be allowed today on ecological grounds. With sections of it almost a hu...
