Some people spend a lot of money celebrating personal family events, such as weddings and birthdays.

How important is it to celebrate such events?

Do you think people spend too much money on these events?

It is common for individuals to invest heavily in celebrating important family events. In my opinion, such celebrations are vital to healthy family life and the associated costs are reasonable in most cases.

Events that bring together the whole family encourage stronger internal cohesion. This is best illustrated through the counter-example of families that rarely meet for large social gatherings. These families are likely to grow distant and remain family members in name rather than actuality. Family members that often meet, such as in many Asian nations where familial bonds are prioritised, are closer to both their immediate and extended family. The result of such closeness is they can ask for advice, lend a helping hand, and feel the unconditional support and love that is essential for mental health.

Generally, for these events families spend only as much as they can reasonably afford. There are rare exceptions, such as when a newly married couple spends excessively on the wedding. However, most families abide by an internal calculus that keeps their spending under control. A wealthy family may stage lavish reunions, family dinners, and weddings, but they are able to afford them and only appear excessive from the perspective of less privileged spectators. A less affluent family, on the other hand, will tend to hold more modest events and, in the case of weddings, may be able to recoup a substantial proportion of the costs from gifts. For example, the giving of an envelope containing money at a wedding is common in Vietnam and helps couples begin their marriage on solid financial footing.

In conclusion, family gatherings play a key part in strengthening bonds and their cost is justifiable and moderate. Families should therefore strive to maintain their traditions in an increasingly insular society.

Hi Dave, would you please take a look at my essay? 🙂

It is true that some invest heavily in the celebration of family events. In my opinion, these events have a crucial role to play in both strengthening relationships between family members and giving individuals opportunities to cherish important moments in their lives, and I opine that an excessive amount of money is spent on these events.  Family events may bring the whole family closer together. Indeed, individuals these days have been exceedingly occupied themselves with responsibilities such as raising children and working, possibly oblivious of interacting with their family. Therefore, family events may provide a chance for them to gather together and update each other’s personal or professional developments, potentially improving family bonds. Additionally, personal events also help to highlight special moments in ones’ life. For example, marriage is often considered to occur only once, thus couples usually allocate a large amount of time and effort to rendering their weddings memorable, while some families hold a party to honor a recent graduate, encouraging him or her to strive harder to achieve greater future accomplishments. Nevertheless, I claim that an exceeding amount of money is spent on holding family events. For example, since weddings are regarded as a ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ opportunity, people are willing to squander a hefty amount of money on hiring luxurious hotels, offering gourmet meals, or buying stunning decorations. The situation is made worse when the newly-weds’ expenditures on these events are beyond their financial capabilities, often leading to them facing future financial problems. Furthermore, these occasions are also prohibitively expensive for the guests. This means that when attending these lavish family events, those who are invited to partake feel obliged to buy the host sumptuous gifts. This is compounded by the fact that there are some who have to buy flight tickets to be able to participate in these events. Clearly, these family events cost a great deal of money not only for the host but also for the guests. In conclusion, family events are of paramount importance to solidifying the relationships between family members and offering a chance to enjoy special moments in one’s life, and I am strongly convinced that too much money has been spent on these events.

You should say:

  • Where it was?
  • Who was getting married?
  • Why did you attend this wedding?

One of the memorable wedding functions that I have attended and enjoyed the most was the wedding function of my cousin Vivan. It was just last month that I happened to attend his wedding. I remember distinctly that it was the first-ever function I attended physically after the covid lockdown. Just the thought of meeting my family members was so joyful that I took 5 days’ leave from the office to attend the program.

Vivan is the eldest cousin amongst all my cousins from the maternal side of the family. He and his girlfriend have been in a long-term relationship for the past 3 years and planned to get married last month. The wedding was held in Delhi’s Eleven Course marriage venue. It was lavishly adorned, with several lights, candles, and flowers adorning the space. Three glitzy wedding picture books were displayed, depicting tables at the formal gate’s center. The bride and groom looked stunning in their wedding dress.

Personally, I had a great time at this wedding. I adored the way it was celebrated, the way everyone talked about the bride and groom, and how joyful and lovely everyone was. It was a joyous occasion, and I thoroughly liked every aspect. I was able to meet several members of my family that I would not have had the opportunity to meet otherwise. I made the most of the opportunity and took several photographs with the bride and groom. To commemorate his wedding day, I got my cousin a present. It was indeed a memorable wedding.

I have always been an ardent fan of Indian weddings. I adore the kind of traditions and culture we follow during this time. Undoubtedly, organizing a wedding is nothing less than celebrating a festival in the house.

So, talking about one of the memorable weddings I attended, it was in Udaipur. My eldest sister was getting married, and she always wanted a destination wedding. So, back in 2018, my parents had organized a lavish one in Bhairav Garh Palace, Udaipur.

The wedding was organized in mid-November; thus, the weather was somewhat supportive. While we had to deal with scorching heat during the daytime, the nights were breezy and cool. One of the best things about this wedding was it was the first of our generation. Since we are just two siblings, the entire obligation for arrangement fell upon me. Right from shopping to ensuring everybody’s departure at the right time, I was on my toes throughout the wedding.

We stayed in the palace for four days, overlooking every arrangement. This was the time when my sister simply sat back and relished her time of being a queen of the family. All in all, those days were enthralling, and the memories we created at her wedding are long-lasting.

I am an introvert who doesn’t like to socialize much with people. So, attending a function or a gathering is a big deal for me. Early last year, I learned that one of my close elder sisters, Gargi, was getting married, and I felt obligated to attend her wedding since she was so important to me. She always cared for me like a kind caring older sister when I was a child, and we share a very special bond.

In September, the wedding ceremony took place in Goa. My sister chose the venue for the wedding. She had always desired a quiet wedding, where she could spend time with her close friends and family following the wedding rites. The wedding took place along the ocean and was stunningly gorgeous, with fresh flowers, lights, and candles. The principal theme of the wedding was pink and yellow. Thus all of the guests were asked to wear clothing in any shade of these hues.

I enjoyed every bit of the celebration. Particularly meeting my other cousins and relatives. The food was delicious and had a wonderful variety of snacks. I needed to attend her wedding since she, along with her husband and in-laws, decided to relocate to the UK, after the wedding. I wanted to spend some time with her before moving to the UK and sharing some of her precious moments with her personally. She looked gorgeous that day. I personally liked her wedding attire.

IELTS Speaking topic: A family celebration

' data-src=

Describe a family celebration (such as wedding) that you attended. You should say: when and where this celebration was held what you did in this celebration who was there and explain why this celebration was held.

The last time we celebrated was in the National Day when it came to my son’s birthday, on October 3rd. We threw a party to celebrate his 4-year-old birthday, and all of our relatives in Beijing took a part in the celebration.

This meal was really a big banquet. We booked a room in a restaurant and decorated it with some flowers and balloons hanging on the wall. Then we prepared a big birthday cake and some other tasty foods like salads, biscuits and fruit juice. Besides as for adults we had some delicacies like Gong Bao Chicken, Simmer Meat, Roasted Duck. And we had noodles as our staple food because in China, long noodles are traditionally eaten by person celebrating his birthday.

I invited all my relatives to come to dinner mainly because I wanted to strengthen the family bonding between us. Besides, it was a desirable opportunity to teach son how to share his happiness and especially, how to interact with others. On top of that, admittedly, we just would like to sit down together and enjoy the tasty food.

Describe an important occasion or event you have attended

9IELTS

Describe an important occasion or event (such as a wedding or a celebration) you have attended.

You should say:

  • when and where you attended this occasion.
  • who else attended this occasion or event
  • what you did

and explain how much you enjoyed it.

Model Answer 1: In this busy life of ours, we never really like to miss an opportunity to celebrate a little. Today, I would like to talk about one such opportunity which allowed me to celebrate the marriage anniversary of one of my dear uncles.

It was the 30th marriage anniversary of my uncle but it felt like the very first anniversary of them because there was just no shortage of passion, emotion and fun during the occasion. Of course, the 30th anniversary, which I attended a couple of years ago at my uncle’s place, was a bit different in a sense that my uncle and aunt didn’t really buy any gifts for each other since I, along with a few of my other cousins (both boys and girls), bought all kinds of gifts for them.

By the way, prior to that anniversary, my uncle didn’t only buy gifts for his love of life and vice versa, but also for each and every one of his nephews and nieces, because he really, really loves all of them. So, we all thought that it was the time for us to return the favour a little since we all were grown up by then and had our own money.

Anyway, a few dozens of guests had attended the party, including us, our relatives and some of my uncle’s old friends as well as that of my aunt’s. At the anniversary, I wrote a song myself and played it with my age-old guitar (which my uncle had bought for me when I was a young high school student). Besides, a couple of my lady cousins had made huge anniversary cake along with many other delicious dishes for us to enjoy.

Well, I enjoyed the anniversary a lot. After all, there were plenty of senses of humour to poke fun at each other. Besides, what was especially pleasing about that anniversary was that everybody there had many good things to say about my uncle and aunt which I didn’t know before that day.

Sample Answer 2: Isn’t it interesting, that thinking of an important occasion or event, the examples given for this cue card are ‘a wedding or celebration’ yet when I thought of the most recent ‘important occasion’ I have attended, it wasn’t really either of these…. I’ll try and explain. I’ll talk about when and where I attended this event, who else was there and what my role was. I don’t know if ‘enjoy’ is quite the right word to use to describe how I felt about going, but I will tell you why I was pleased to be present for it and why it was so important I was.

So the occasion was just last month. I had to go to the funeral of an elderly relative of mine, who early in the New Year had died at the age of ninety. The funeral was held about a five-hour drive away from where I live, so it was a long way to go to be there to say goodbye, but it was very important to me to be there. I was very close to her. We were relatives, but only very distant ones. I’d got to know her as an adult, and we had exchanged letters with each other on a regular basis for over 25 years – that’s a quarter of a century. Our letters covered a multitude of topics from politics to travel and work. She herself had lived a full and interesting life, travelling all over the world and publishing many eminent papers on a range of topics from scientific enquiry to classical art – but in her last few years was in great pain. The last time I saw her was to join her for a celebratory lunch for her ninetieth birthday. She was mentally strong, but physically frail, and it was clear she was treating this occasion as a farewell meal. It wasn’t a surprise to me that she died a few weeks later. Of course, I wanted to be at her funeral, it was really important to be there to ‘send her off’ with affection, and share memories of her life with others who knew her and cared for her too.

This relative had never married, and didn’t have children. Even so, there were many people there. She would have been really pleased to see friends and neighbours, as well as family members, join the goodbyes. She did have some nieces and nephews, as well as me, a cousin, who were all at her last birthday meal. Together we came up with memories of her to include in the Eulogy about her life that was read at the ceremony. I suggested a range of readings that I thought were appropriate to her interests in the natural world and enthusiasm for literature. The funeral itself was poignant of course, but it was also a joyful celebration and recognition of a full and unique life. She had lived life to the full as the saying goes, and frankly was ready to go at the end. Her passing will leave a huge gap in the world, but although it may sound strange the funeral was joyful too. My role was to contribute ideas for the Eulogy, but also to start the service with a reading. I chose one from The Tempest, one of Shakespeare’s plays. It is quite a famous extract, and is probably used at funerals a lot as it is quite appropriate. It starts ‘our revels now are ended’ and I think she would have appreciated it as she loved Shakespeare very much.

I don’t think I’d use the word ‘enjoy’ as such for a funeral, as it doesn’t seem entirely fitting. However, I found the ceremony and the gathering for tea and sandwiches that followed it incredibly comforting. It was lovely to hear stories of this relative that I’d not heard before from other people, and share happy memories. Someone had even found some old black and white film of her playing on a beach with her father and siblings when she was just a toddler. The footage was hilarious! She and her two brothers are running unevenly along in the sand, their father is playing with them with real joy. But it was a different time, so even though it is a hot day at the seaside, he is wearing a three-piece suit with a tie, a hat and smoking a pipe! It was impossible not to laugh at the picture, and be pleased she had enjoyed that carefree day so many decades ago that we were seeing for the first time all these years later. I think she would have loved it!  It brought this cousin back to life as we recalled with affection the adventures she’d had, the legacy she’d leave and the influence she’d had on all of us. Her life did make a difference, and that is all any of us might wish for. I believe as long as you talk about people and remember them they are still with you in a way.

Although perhaps you weren’t expecting me to choose to talk about a funeral as a celebratory event, I still think it is appropriate. This funeral was indeed a celebration of the most remarkable life, and I was certainly an important occasion. I think it is only apt that both she and her funeral should be remembered with affection and with a smile.

Sample Answer 3: Well, it was a birthday celebration of one of my cousins and I consider it as an important and memorable event as I met so many of my relatives in a single day and I had a really great time with them. This was a rare event for me and I enjoyed a lot.

It was three or four years ago and the birthday party was arranged in a large party hall in our hometown. My uncle and aunt decided to celebrate their son- John’s birthday, as they were scheduled to leave the country in a few months to permanently live in Australia. This was John’s 12th birthday and his parents invited more than 300 guests. The guest-list included mostly our relatives, John’s friends, my uncle’s colleagues, and some neighbours.

This was a special event and a happy celebration for me basically because of two reasons. I said goodbye and wished luck to John and my uncle and I had a chance to meet so many of my relatives in a single evening. This was quite exciting to see all my close relatives and their children. Just after I reached the party hall I noticed that some of my cousins were gossiping together. It was a long since I had seen many of them. They were also happy to see me and they called other cousins and we enjoyed our time together. We talk about each other, took photos together, exchanged our phone numbers and enjoyed our dinner. On this very occasion, I met some of my relatives after quite a long and meeting them in person was a very stirring experience for me.

I also bought a gift for John, the birthday boy, and congratulated him. I also invited my uncle to visit us with his family before they leave the country. My younger sister Sara and my parents were very happy and excited about the whole event and I could tell they enjoyed the event very much. I must say this was a very rare occasion and the excitement and delight it brought for me was boundless.

More Ideas to talk about this Cue Card/ Candidate Task Card topic:

Topic: describe an importation occasion or event ( such as a wedding or a celebration ) you have attended..

1. Two months ago, I went to Delhi to attend one of my college friends’ wedding. It was a delightful ceremony and some other friends, whom I have not met for a long, also attended the celebration. I enjoyed the event very much and actually this was the first wedding ceremony that I attended out of my country.  I liked the ceremony until the last minute. The food was yummy and mouthwatering. People who arrived were very friendly and had a nice discussion with me about different issues of my land.

2. The celebration of the Chinese New Year was an outstanding event for me. I attended the event this year in China. I was accompanied by my family during the event. We had great fun on this day. In fact, I enjoyed the parades and particularly the fireworks. I enjoyed the entire event as it was the first time for me to witness the celebration of Chinese New Year. We went on a family trip to China and luckily it was the eve of their New Year celebration. It seemed that the celebration is different from the other types of New Year celebration in the world.

3. Usually, we do not celebrate the Christmas together but this year, it was a coincidence that we all got together to celebrate the day here in Paris. The event was attended by other family members and the cousins as well. We made delicious food, decorated the house, made Christmas trees, wrapped gifts for others and so on. I enjoyed the event much because of the people I had with me. Actually, it was a wonderful get together of all the members this year and I will remember it for a long time.

4. Attending a wedding is always enjoyable to me and last month, I went to attend a wedding of a relative here in England. The event was attended by other relatives as well and we all enjoyed it. The event was held at night and so, it was more fun. In fact, I will remember the party that was held under the open sky at the end of everything. Honestly, I have enjoyed the food and beverage. The red wine was extremely delicious and increased my appetite on that night.     

5. After completing graduation in July, I, with my friends, had a grand celebration here in Mexico. We arranged the party on the rooftop of Nicholas’s house and around 10 other friends were there. We had a barbeque party, enjoyed action and a comedy movie and had great fun together. Besides, the live music performance by Sam was extraordinary. I enjoyed the celebration very much because this was the very first get together of all my friends and we spent the night together on the roof. By the grace of Almighty, we had immense fun that night.

Last year I went to my home country to celebrate Christmas with my family. This brought as all together. We were about 15 people around the table including my 3 sisters and their husbands, my 4 nieces, my parents, my husband, my daughter and me. Each of us helped organised this event. For example, girls did the cooking, whereas the boys took care of the ornaments. We all had a great time together and enjoyed each other company. The most special moment was when we offered and received gifts, especially children were on the tenterhooks to open their presents. This event made me appreciate my family even more and I promised myself to try and spend more time with them henceforth.

I try to adapt one of your topic, so here's my speaking: I'm going to describe my brother''s birthday that i attended just lask week. We went for a meal in a local restaurant to celebrate his biirthday. There were about 10 of us, family members, and some of his close friends, most of them were people i've known since childhood because i and my brother used to play together. We met at restaurant and ordered some food, while we ate, everyone chatted, my brother has a good sense of humour so the conversations were really funny. I and my family prepared a special gift for my brother, it's actually my dad's ideal. We gave him a watch, 1989 Citizen, which was his favorite brand. 1989 was his birth year and the time was set to 4.30am which was the time that he was born on 3rd March. It was great to get together with faimily and friends. I had some intersting conversations, it was good oppoturnity to catch up with what my childhood friends had been up to. It was nice to wind down after hard week, the food was delicious and we went home feeling full after a fantastic meal.

As for me, a celebration that i never forget is the 2011 Tet holiday, a traditional one organized every three first days of the first month of the new lunar year. All my family members are present at that occasion.We all together prepared for the Tet like cleaning, decorating the house,making many dishes and the like. This occasion was special and joyful for me because of following reasons. First, all family members from different places came back home and enjoyed the Tet together. Second, that was the first Tet after I got married. So it was special and more interesting because my family have a new member. Also, it was the first time I could enjoy the Tet with my life partner. For those reasons, the sweet and happy memory of that Tet holiday is unforgettable.

- what you were celebrating - who was present - what you and your family did to make the celebration special - and why you enjoyed the occasion. Last month, my family hold a birthday party for my daddy. Well, this is a great family celebration. This party included 5 people: my dad, my mom, younger sister and younger brother and me. In this special day, my mom made a birthday cake for 48 years old, decorated our house, prepared a big present and made delicious dishes. This is a remarkable memory I can't forget.

Well I would like to talk about the Lunar New Year holiday for the year of horse in 2014. It was special because this was the first time my whole family gathered in my parents' house to wellcome the Lunar New Year. All of us total up to 10 people included my parents, my nuclear family and my brother's family. Each of us in charge of particular things to prepare for the celebration. The children cleaned up the house, me and my sister in law were in charge of shopping and cooking traditional foods. My brother decorated the house with a peach. On the LNY eve, we hanged out to the downtown to watch dragon parade and then came back home and drank some champagne. It was so wonderful time as we fell the close knit atmosphere and left all the concerns behind.

Ok, then . i think could start off by answering the question what i was celebrating. i guess, i would have to choose it was my parents 50th wedding aniversary. Going on my next point which is who was present and what i need to emphasize here is that there were quite alot of people who are my family, my relatives and my friends. Drawing attention to the matter of what i and my family did to make the celebration special , and what i would like to make clear is that because my parents were so busy that is the reason why this was the first time, my parents had been celebrated their wedding aniversary . My siblings and i secretly planned a surprise party for them. On that day, while they still went to the office as a rule, at home we prepared everything such as decorating the house with colourful balloons,buying foods, inviting guests. in the afternoon, when they came back home from their offices, they were so amazed. Everybody gave them gifts with bestwishes. They were so emotional, then they just managed to make a short speech thanking everyone for coming and then we partied into the night. Finally, if there's time, i could deal with the last question of why i enjoyed this occasion because it made my parents make merry.

Posted by: Huong | July 02, 2014 at 11:18

Although there are a lot of special family celebrations I can remember. One that I have to mention is the event that took place on August 2013.

I picked this particular event because we used a stone to kill two birds. That is we celebrated two occasions on one day. My parents 40th wedding anniversary and dad 71st birthday.

All children, grand children and well wishers attended this joyous event. My dad's house was parked full with a lot of people who came around to wish them well.

To make it a special occasion we all went to church in the morning to give a special thanksgiving and immediately after the church service we went to visit the motherless babies home to celebrate with them. I had a wonderful time with my family and especially with the children at the motherless homes.

Hello I took the IELTS speaking test yesterday, and here are some questions I was asked.

1.Can u describe a gadget that ever made you angry.(Tv set,watshing mashing) 2.How you felt. 3.And what you later did.

Posted by: phranklie | July 06, 2014 at 08:57

Well, I used to be angry with my smart phone. It was bought by my boyfriend for my graduation celebration. Its brand is Sony Ericsion. It has a wide screen, is white and nice looking. But I am used to a traditional phone, I mean, a phone with keyboard, thus I was not very interested with a smartphone.

At first, this phone operated well. Then, it became slower and slower. Sometimes it even stops functioning suddenly, which made me very frustrated. I often have to wait for it to function, for example when I search my contacts and press call button, i had to wait! I really thought that the phone was my major cause of frustration during that time.

Well, as it was a present, a quite expensive one. So I tried to get used to it and accept its low speed. Then one day, my boyfriend was pick-pocketed whike he was carrying the phone for me. I felt a little regret but now I'm ok with a new simple phone with buttons.

Essay on a family function you enjoyed.

Essay-writing.

Explanation:

                         'Family Function I enjoyed'

Last week, my cousin brother's engagement took place in a grand style and it served to be one of the most enjoyed family functions in our family. The function held in 'The Leela Palace' and the entire place was beautifully decorated in purple. As per the theme, we all were dressed in our designer clothes in combination of purple and pink. The 'would-be bride and groom' reached the venue and the function began. The ring exchange ceremony was unique this time. We arranged an elevated stage which lifted the bride and groom in air and the ceremony held with the auspicious mantras and blessings of the elders. After, each member of the family presented a dance performance dedicated to the couple. A group dance was also performed to uplift the celebrations. Then, the couple performed on 'dil diyan gallan' and the whole crowd was amazed to see their performance. We had a wonderful photo session and then, came the time for food. We all had dinner at the common table where everyone was eating, teasing one another, gossiping, and much more. It was truly a great family time where we all enjoyed thoroughly.

❓ Essay Questions About Family

As a student, you are likely to get an assignment to write about the importance of relationships. That’s why you can be in need of a good friends and family topic. In this case, you’ve found the right page. Our experts have prepared a list of ideas related to the subject.

Writing a family essay is an easy way to boost your grade and explore the things that matter to you. However, to get a high grade on this assignment, it is essential to structure your paper well. Essays that are organized logically will help you to stand out from the crowd and earn your tutor’s appreciation. Here are some tips on structuring family essays:

1⃣ Narrow down the topic

If your professor didn’t provide a set of topics to choose from, you would need to decide on the focus of your essay. The concept of family is too general, and failing to narrow it down might cost you marks. Think about your interests and experience. Do you want to write about what family means to you? Or would you rather write an essay on family problems? Whatever your interests are, choose a subject that can be explored in-depth within the specified page limit.

2⃣ Check samples online

This is an excellent way to prepare for writing your essay because you can examine how other people structured their work. Luckily, there are many family essay examples and sample papers online that you could use. While reading those, note the key points and how they follow one another in a sequence. Consider how the structure of each paper can be improved to make it more coherent. Did the writer miss some points? Did they provide examples in support of each argument? Write out your notes to keep them in mind while working on your essay.

3⃣ Start by writing one to three titles at the top of the page

Family essay titles tend to be very generic, so you need to choose one that suits the intended content of the paper. Examine each title to see if it is precise and can catch the reader’s attention immediately. For example, if you would like to write about a family relationship, you could use a quote about the importance of family as a title.

4⃣ Create an outline based on your key points

There are typically three parts in an essay: introduction, main body, and conclusion. The first part should contain the most basic information about the topic, as well as your purpose or thesis statement. A family essay body is where you present the main ideas and arguments in a logical sequence. The conclusion should be the last part you write, so you don’t need to plan it along with the other two components. After writing the outline, go through each point again to see if they link together nicely. If not, see if you could move some points around to make them fall into a logical sequence.

5⃣ Add evidence to support each point

Once you’ve completed the outline, add more details to each section. You could use the evidence gathered as part of secondary research, as well as your thoughts and personal experience. For instance, if you have a section about what a happy family means, think whether you know any families that fit the description or explore statistics on happiness among married couples with children.

Following the tips above will help you to create a backbone for your paper, making writing a hundred times easier! If you need any more assistance with your essay, search our website for family essay topics, writing advice, and more!
