Describing an event
An event I will always remember is the school festival we had last year. It took place on a Saturday
morning on our campus, and many students, teachers, and parents attended. The weather was sunny, so
everyone was in a good mood. The festival had many different activities, such as games, performances,
and food stalls.
At the beginning of the event, the music club performed several songs. Then the dance team did a fast
and exciting routine, which the crowd loved. After that, students visited the booths to try various
games. My friends and I played a throwing game and won small prizes. Later, we tried food from
different countries, which was prepared by students from the international program.
I really enjoyed this festival because it brought the whole school together. Everyone was smiling,
taking photos, and having fun. It was a wonderful experience, and I hope we can have another festival
this year.
