Sample Answer:

• Diwali is the largest celebration in India, and it is a festival of light and togetherness. Every year, I look forward to celebrating Diwali with my Punjabi family. It also happens to be the largest festival and family gathering event for us since all my family members get together and spend time in my grandparent’s house.

• Every year, we make it a point to get together at my grandparents’ place to celebrate Diwali. We were unable to meet and celebrate this festival as a group due to Covid. As a result, this year, we decided to make the stay a bit longer. My paternal uncle and aunt are flying from Australia to join us on this auspicious Diwali occasion. I, too, am based in Bangalore for work and want to pay a visit to my grandparents and other family members during the celebration. My parents will also be flying in from Delhi. I’m also looking forward to seeing all of my family members, especially my cousins and grandparents, who I don’t get to see very often during the year.
• This year, I want to get gifts for my cousins, uncles, aunts, grandparents, etc. I’ll also decorate the house with lights and flowers, assist my grandparents with the necessary shopping for the ceremonies, and spend the days with my cousins performing various fun activities. I also want to play monopoly with everyone and engage in extensive chit-chat while eating the delectable fare. Additionally, this is the one time of year when my entire family comes together. Therefore, I’m looking forward to seeing everyone after a two-year hiatus and thoroughly enjoying this family gathering.
