Sample Answer:

  • An interesting thing I learnt from a foreign culture is the celebration of Mother’s day. 
  • Growing up in my country we never had an official celebration of Mother’s day. 
  • In our culture most of us still live with parents and we are very close to them. 
  • We love and respect our elders every day but there is no special day to celebrate them. 
  • When I was in college one of my friends who was studying in USA came back home in summer break. 
  • We were meeting after so long and she shared so much about her college and how the culture there was so different. 
  • One of the things she told me that really impressed me was Mother’s Day celebration there. 
  • It is celebrated on the second Sunday in May every year to honor the mothers. 
  • It is an opportunity for children to show their love and thank their mothers for all they have done. 
  • She stays with her aunt in US and told me that on Mother’s Day her cousins made cards for their mother, made her breakfast in bed, and helped her with chores all day. 
  • There was also a celebration of Mother’s Day in her cousin’s school. They all went out for dinner that day and her uncle got a beautiful ring for her aunt. 
  • I also wanted to do something special for my mother and told my sister about this popular western culture. 
  • I am very close to my mom and have seen her do so much for me and my sister every single day.
  • She worked full time, helped us with homework, made our favorite dishes, organized our birthday parties, took care of us when we got sick. 
  • I always went to my mother when I was feeling sad, and she would make me forget about my worries. 
  • So, dedicating one day to celebrate her felt really good to me and I started celebrating Mother’s day every year. 
  • I still remember the smile on my mother’s face the first time we celebrated Mother’s day. 
  • I woke her up with tea. It felt so nice making morning tea for her. We didn’t let her do anything that day. 
  • My sister cooked her a nice brunch and then all went out to the mall to get her a present and had dinner at her favorite restaurant. 
  • I think adopting this western culture helps us show our mothers how much we appreciate them. 
  • It helps us understand how much they do every single day. We tend to take our mother’s for granted and don’t even realize how much they do for us. 
  • They sacrifice so much for us and have to balance both work and home. Fathers can get away with just having a job, but mothers do it all. 
  • They are superwoman and we really should cherish them every day. 
  • A special day just for them is the very little we can do for them
