Band 8.5 Model Answer
There are numerous happy events in my life that I can recall and among them, I 
would like to talk about the time when my family gathered to make X cake for the 
New Year holiday. 
The New Year is a very special traditional holiday in my country. It was probably 
my most favorite holiday when I was a small girl as my family had a lot of activities 
to celebrate this occasion. Among them, making the X cake made me excited the 
most. The X cake is made of glutinous rice, green beans and fat pork, wrapped in 
banana leaves in the shape of a square. I often played with my older brother when 
my parents prepared the ingredients for the cake. And then, my father lit a small 
fire to boil the cake overnight.

It was perhaps the only time of the year when I was allowed to stay up late. While 
my family was sitting around the warm fire, my grandmother would tell the old 
legendary story about the X cake to commemorate the filial affection of one prince 
to his father and remind us of the long 
– lasting tradition of our country. 
In recent years, my family has not had enough time for making the Xcake on our 
own. However, to me, a ready-made cake that we buy from a local market can
’t 
bring the special feeling and replace the taste of a X cake from my childhood. I 
hope that my family can continue our tradition in the coming years.
