UEC Junior English Paper 2 - Writing Composition 5
Write a composition of between 150 - 200 words based on the topic below.
The Malaysians celebrate many festivals. Which festival do you celebrate? How do you help to prepare for this festival?
I celebrate Chinese New Year, one of the biggest and most important festivals for the Chinese community in Malaysia. It marks the start of the lunar new year and is a time for family gatherings, feasting, and wishing for good fortune.
To prepare for Chinese New Year, my family begins with a thorough cleaning of the house to sweep away bad luck. I help my parents with cleaning by dusting furniture and mopping the floors. After the house is spotless, we decorate it with red lanterns, couplets, and ornaments symbolizing prosperity. I assist in hanging decorations around the house, especially the red banners with Chinese characters that signify happiness and wealth.
A day before the new year, my family gets busy preparing traditional food such as dumplings, fish, and mandarin oranges. I help in the kitchen by washing vegetables and setting the table for our reunion dinner. When the new year arrives, I join my parents to visit relatives, bringing along mandarin oranges as a gesture of good luck. It is a time of joy and celebration that I always look forward to.
