介绍:
Describe a time you watched the sky.
You should say:
when and where it was;
who was with you;
what you saw;
and explain how you felt about watching the sky.
★ EXAMPLE:
Well, I’d like to say something about the time I watched the sky when I was celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival with my family on our balcony last year. After dinner, we all sat around a small wooden table spread with mooncakes and some round fruits, like grapes and apples, cuz on that day, round food symbolizes reunion.
Watching the moon was one of the hallmark traditions of this festival, so I looked up into the sky and gazed at the moon for a long time. It was silvery white and pretty round. There were stars too, but they were not as brilliant as the moon, so they were not the focus at that night.
（fairly < quite < rather = pretty < extremely）
It was quite interesting and relaxing to observe the moon. You see, most of the time it was a full moon at that night and it looked quite bright, but once in a while, half of the moon was covered by clouds. However, when they moved away, the moon was round again. And watching this helped my mind go completely blank, and let me get rid of all the trifles from school (work).
Besides, it was quite sweet that all the family members gathered together to watch the sky while sharing mooncakes. We talked about what was going on in our lives and gossiped a bit about our relatives. Everyone felt quite warm and unwind at that moment. We were unwilling to end this family reunion until midnight and hugged each other before walking back into our bedrooms. It was such a sweet memory and I wanna do it again this year.
（Unwind, wind down, loosen up, chill out, sit back, take a breather, take a load off, put one’s feet up, breathe easy, take ten, lie down, catch one’s breath）
