SAMPLE ANSWER
I’m going to tell you about a time I invited my parents and grandparents over to my house for tortellini soup. I had just moved into my new house, so I was really excited for this housewarming event. Actually, I was extra excited because I just moved near my relatives after living across the country for years.
I planned this event myself because I felt confident in my ability of making tortellini soup. Along with the soup, I prepared an Italian style salad and some warm, homemade bread with it. My mom passed the recipe down to me, so I had years of experience preparing it. I know it’s always a hit at social events! During the meal, we talked about memories of my mother, who had passed away 10 years before.
Every time we eat her recipe, it always brings back memories of her. After that, we had small talk about our weekly plans and updates in our lives. Furthermore, my family asks me lots of questions about what home improvement plans I had for my new home, so I showed them the furniture and paint colors I had chosen for the house. We drank Pinot Grigio wine during the meal, which paired well with the Italian flavors. We met to catch up and enjoy my new home together. It was a simple yet very pleasant dinner party!
PART – 3 FOLLOW UPS
Do people in your country prefer to eat at home or in restaurants?
Since I’m from a low-income country, people tend to eat at home rather than at restaurants to economize. Furthermore, the family is very central in my country, so all of the family members come together with the ingredients they have to cook a grand meal together on the daily. When we all pitch it, we all end up saving money and enjoying a higher quality meal than we would get at a restaurant.
What do people usually cook for special festivals?
Although seemingly strange or unappealing to others, guinea pigs are a delicacy in my country. For the Festival of the Sun in June every year, we prepare the guinea pig called “Cuy” and eat it home with our families, and even sell it on the streets. Sometimes we also prepare a cold dish called “Chiriuchu” which consists of chicken, guinea pig, fish eggs, and seaweed eaten cold. Stil, I understand it doesn’t sound tasty to others, but I’m very fond it of it.
