Band 8.5 Model Answer
There are numerous happy events in my life that I can recall and among them, I would like to talk about the time when my family gathered to make X cake for the New Year holiday.The New Year is a very special traditional holiday in my country. It was probably my most favorite holiday when I was a small girl as my family had a lot of activities to celebrate this occasion. Among them, making the X cake made me excited the most. The X cake is made of glutinous rice, green beans and fat pork, wrapped in banana leaves in the shape of a square. I often played with my older brother when my parents prepared the ingredients for the cake. And then, my father lit a small fire to boil the cake overnight.It was perhaps the only time of the year when I was allowed to stay up late. While my family was sitting around the warm fire, my grandmother would tell the old legendary story about the X cake to commemorate the filial affection of one prince to his father and remind us of the long – lasting tradition of our country.In recent years, my family has not had enough time for making the Xcake on our own. However, to me, a ready-made cake that we buy from a local market can’t bring the special feeling and replace the taste of a X cake from my childhood. I hope that my family can continue our tradition in the coming years.
