Describe a situation when you celebrated your achievement.
You should say:
- What you did
- When you celebrated it
- Who you celebrated it with And how you felt about it
After four years of sleepless nights and hard work, it was time for my graduation from college. All of my closest family members came to the dry, dull ceremony and then we would go out afterwards. Still, we were so excited about the ceremony graduation but I was more excited about what was coming after it, the celebration. Let me tell you how we celebrated.
For special celebrations we pick a fine dining restaurant, actually, one of the best in town. So after the ceremony we went straight (directly) to this restaurant and enjoyed one of the best Italian food you can ever try. I had a lasagna, that is my favorite meal. I felt so good after eating it but also I had a sense of relief after my graduation was done. My family also chose their favorite Italian dishes to celebrate on my behalf.
It was one of the biggest milestones in my life finally completed. I felt so relieved that all my hard work would then pay off (be worth it). Although I was excited for myself, it was the icing on the cake (something special on top of something special) to spend it with my family. All in all, it was an unforgettable day.

Do you think that it’s important for people to celebrate their achievements?
Celebrating an achievement is important for people because it gives us a better sense of purpose and meaning. When we don’t celebrate, sometimes people lose incentive (motivation) to try hard at something. Furthermore, it makes it even more exciting to celebrate an achievement with family and friends. With this said, I usually celebrate with a dinner with my family.
Why do you think some people prefer not to tell others about their achievements?
Some people might not like to tell others about their achievements because people might take it offensively (annoyingly) or feel inferior (lower). Moreover, some people are very humble and simply don’t like to brag (boast) about their accomplishments. Lastly, maybe people have low self-esteem so they don’t even recognize their own accomplishments.
What events do people in your country like to celebrate?
In my country we like to celebrate all the birthdays of all of our relatives, mainly the closest ones. Although many cultures tend to forget birthdays as they get older, my country certainly doesn’t. Along with these, we celebrate all of the widely accepted Christian holidays, such as Christmas and Easter.
